And I am a quarter century younger than Paul, and was probably a lot less busy than he was, and probably did a considerable amount less partying and drugs than he did. And honestly, I couldn’t tell you a whole heck of a lot of substance about myself I was too busy having too much fun and fooling around and partying. I was thinking about memory and reminiscence and the constant examination by fans of his every word in every interview and “but John said this!1! rewriting history!1!!” and “why doesn’t he mention X thing?” and then I think back to my own teenagerhood and 20s. Overall, though, a celebration of his own written words is just fantastic. And includes the little book he wrote about his life while in jail in 1980. I hope he goes beyond the “Jet is about a dog and Little Lamb Dragonfly is about a lamb!” stories, or at least opens up a little and fleshes those things out. I really hope he includes lots and lots of stories about the Wings years and beyond, since those are not-as-well-documented as his Beatles years. Okay, now that’s out of the way, I am seriously excited for this. I’m glad he’s having a long, productive life-I wish him every good thing-and can’t really imagine my life without him and his buddies in it. When I was watching it, I found myself thinking: I know he’s a stranger, but I truly cherish this dude Paul McCartney.

The one thing I’ve always managed to do, whether at home or on the road, is to write new songs,” McCartney said in a statement. “More often than I can count, I’ve been asked if I would write an autobiography, but the time has never been right. Called, Paul McCartney: The Lyrics, it’s meant to stand in for an autobiography (which I think we already got with Many Years From Now).
