Can you believe Paul McCartney turns 70 years old today? It's along way from the mop tops...
I must say, though, that he was certainly given a gift by some fluke of fate or genetics or whatever - his voice is still very close to the "old days". It's a pretty short list of old rockers who can still hit the notes they sang 40 or 50 years ago.
Billy Joel said that when he joined him in concert a few years ago, he was astounded that Paul was still playing the old Beatles songs in the original key - Joel had been dropping keys every few years because he could not hit the notes any more.
I'm so happy he's still playing, recording, etc. I don't know why, but he makes me feel a little younger myself.
