The card on the left is the vital statistics of Paul McCartney. But, obviously, some of the facts are out of date. For example: He's a vegetarian and yet his favourite food is roast beef!?!?!?
But the stastics like his Birthday and Birthplace are correct!
His real name is James Paul McCartney, but when he became a Beatle, it changed to Paul and stuck.
When he was born, his Father said that when he saw Paul he went upstairs and cried because
"he looked like a lump of bloody meat"! But he turned out to be a charming young lad!
He started playing the trumpet, until he met George Harrison. Then he realized that he couldn't sing and play at the same time. So he reverted to the gutiar. He was, and still is, very talented. From an early age he could sit down and write a song.
Paul's mother, Mary(as referred to in Let It Be) died of cancer when Paul was only a boy. He was heart-broken. So when his wife, Linda, was annonced to have cancer, he was devestated.
Paul's image in the Beatles is the cute, innocent one. Whereas George and John have the sinisiter, druggy look. But , yes, he did do drugs, although, you must admit, he does look like an angel!
Paul was left-handed, so it is easy to pick him out from the other Beatles in the band, when playing his guitar. He played bass, but could play the drums, piano, and trumpet.
Paul didn't really have an image in the Beatles. George was the guru on the hill, John was a flamboyent, actor, Ringo was Ringo, but Paul was supposed to be the financial man of the group. I myself think that he was the funny, out-going, crazy one. On Hey Jude, he goes crazy at the end. This is just a hint of his character.
WHERE'D MACCA COME FROM?!?!
Paul was supposed to have broken up the Beatles himself. But it was recently discovered that John had phoned a reporter, saying he was going to break away from the Beatles, but he wanted it a secret for then. Paul waited for months and months for a phone call from John, but when none came, he released his own single. John was furious, because he wanted the credit for the Beatles break-up.
Ever wonder where the name MACCA came from? It's quite simple. MACCAartney! All his friends call him Macca, it's just a nick-name. If you've ever heard a Liverpool accent, you'd understand!
WHAT'S PAUL BEEN UP TO THESE DAYS?
On Tuesday, 14th, 1999, Paul played in the Cavern for the last time this century. He really know how to end the millenium!
