How does McCartney feel

[tynopik]

so after last year the NFL execs all got together and asked "Who's the safest, least offensive choice we can find? The person who's the least likely to shock anyone or do anything outrageous?"

and the answer was . . .

Paul McCartney

Granted the Beatles were never out to shock and offend like say a Marilyn Manson, but on the other hand, how does McCartney feel about being the new Wayne Newton?

 

[olds]

He has more money than God. He doesn't care.

 

[PunDogg]

feels pretty good with the huge check in his bank account

It isn't like the Beatles weren't a pop band. He's used to it.

How can anyone compare Paul McCartney to Wayne Newton?

Yeah Pop bands write Lyrics like this



When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
and you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Go helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
I will you won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
Look out cause here she comes

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well will you won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu,

Helter Skelter <
She's coming down fast
Yes she is
Yes she is
coming down fast

MxCartney had a great Superbowl appearance in 2002 I think, it makes sense to go with someone who can deliver.

Everyone talks about the wardrobe malfunction last year, but that didn't bother me at all. what bothered me was the complete suckage of the show.

Would you prefer they had Ashlee Simpson headlining?

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog?s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.

Come together right now over me

I?d love to turn you on...

---

I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends


Perhaps those lyrics seem tame, but for the time they were all Manson-level shockers.

Please god no!

Jeez, it is a 10 minute show at the most. Personally, I would rather have someone who is going to put on a good show. Lets face it, Ashlee Simpson sucks. Lindsey Lohan? Please! Paul is a great choice in my opinion.

I would rather see a classic band that has survived the times well, like KISS for instance. Great rock and roll band.

I agree

my comment wasn't to say there was anything wrong with choosing him, I think he will put on a great show

it was more on how HE felt going from rebel to 'safest choice available'.

the whole 'I used to fight the man, and now I am the man'

Your opinions DO change with age and experience. I doubt he thinks it's as much fun any more to write incendiary lyrics - been there, done that. And he still gets high playing in front of a gazillion people. So he's probably laughing like crazy at those wacky TV censors who get all huffy about a glimpse of a tit - he's surely seen a few tits in his lifetime.
