I don't even think I have the words right now to describe how much I disagree with your post. First of all, by ALL accounts, Paul's voice this tour is better than ever. Second of all, it's not a matter of "needing to prove" anything. Music is his life, his passion, and his career. You just don't stop doing it because you reach a certain age. Thirdly, I think your post his highly insensitive and just plain ridiculous. Sure, everyone has a right to their own opinion, but come on, "time to fade away?" Are you kidding? The man has just made his best album in years, he's on his best tour in years, he's in the best shape in years, why on earth would he stop? Do you expect Paul McCartney to just hideaway in a castle with his billions for the rest of his life? The man is a musician. He loves playing music. Why would he quit his passion? I think it is rather commendable and quite inspirational that here is a man approaching 60, still rocking and doing it 10 times better than the youngin's. I think you would hope to be in that great state when you're 60 as well.
