Happy 80th birthday Sir Paul! (1 Viewer)

Sir Paul McCartney was born 80 years ago on June 18th.

I am about to celebrate by watching McCartney 3, 2, 1 on HULU and listening to Band On The Run which I think is Paul's best post Beatles album.

A true legend.

Sir Paul McCartney was born 80 years ago on June 18th.

I am about to celebrate by watching McCartney 3, 2, 1 on HULU and listening to Band On The Run which I think is Paul's best post Beatles album.

I really like the closing track to that album- his best solo/Wings song.

Not that anyone seems remotely interested, but for completeness’ sake, the name that‘s an anagram of Genuine Class is Alec Guinness.

That and Musical Carpentry for Sir Paul McCartney are the two most befitting anagrams I’ve come across.

As to Sir Paul’s 80th, it’s wonderful that this thread celebrates a happy occasion, as more often than not tribute threads here are in farewell.

I can’t think of any other stranger who has enriched my life more than James Paul McCartney. Of course, he doesn’t seem a stranger at all - more an integral part of my family.

Long may he continue to create, inspire and entertain!

I would have answered but that had been a joke on The Simpsons so I didn't want to cheat.

Saw Sir Paul a week ago yesterday at his Baltimore show...was the best concert I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Absolutely a joy.

I find it amazing that 2 of the greatest geniuses in the history of popular music- Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson- were born just days apart on opposite ends of the world

Yes, amazingly only a couple of days apart.

And another couple of all-time musical geniuses, grew up just a few streets apart on Merseyside.

And Paul McCartney happens to intersect both those groupings.

Venn diagrams are called for here.
