It's a pity Sir Paul cannot be content with having written some of the best popular songs of the 20th century -(to my mind way superior to anything Lennon produced -McCartney was the greatest Beatle by a country mile, great though some of Lennon's contributions were) but feels the need instead to share with us his political 'insight' as he did on r4 yesterday.
For some reason those famous in the arts and other areas seem to come under a compulsion to tell us their political opinions which almost invariaby are as banal, pedestrian and predictable as anything you would get in your local pub. No matter how genuis such folk are in their field get them on politics and it's just embarrassing.Why do they do it -are they so unaware of how they sound? Perhaps they think their position will lend gravitas to their vacuous utterings? Wrong!
And of course it is always made worse by the fact that yiu just know they are going to be bloody lefties and its going to be yet another orgy of virtue signalling crap coming out of their mouths -and they never disappoint.
We know Sir Paul - practically loved by the whole world - cares about the environment - he was going on about it to be fair way before any other celebrity jumped on the green bandwagon -back in 71' with his great solo album Wildlife -whining on about the poor animals in the zoo. He'd already hooked up with mad Linda and it's quite likely he got all that eco huey from her -who knows but one thing is clear. Environmentalism is the New Religion and if you dar to question its shibboleths and conventional wisdom you are damned as a heretic -you are a 'climate change denier'. Does this language sound familiar? Catholicism. Denying the existence of God! And you know the penalty for that.
So let's not have anymore heretical talk. If you do not believe in the eco religion wash your mouth out with soapy water and keep silent! And this from people who think of themselves as liberal -demanding censorship on the unbelievers. What about sending them to correction facilities where they can be reprogrammed and expiate their sins my saying 3 hail gaias and flagellating themselves with plastic whips?
Yesterday, Michelle, Eleanor Rigby etc etc etc et etc etc. Let it Be Paul.
