Its Paul McCartney’s Birthday

Paul turns 66 today June 18, 2008. I have been celebrating Paul’s birthday since he was 14 years old. It was that year that he gave up his dream of becoming an electrician, picked up a used guitar and began singing. Soon instead of writing sonnets (he also considered being a poet at one time) he had tunes pop into his head while in the shower and found himself writing lyrics on the back of napkins.

I had always surmised that he was the lesser half of the Lennon-McCartney song writing duo. To a large degree I believe that Wings bears this out. Yet, he has become a living legend, former husband 3 times over and accumulated wealth beyond my wildest dreams.

I will always celebrate this day. Happy Birthday Sir Paul!
