Paul McCartney fik en stjerne – på Hollywood Walk of Fame
10. februar 2012“Let me tell you a little bit about our friend Paul here just as a musician. When I was in high school and the Beatles came out, I loved the Beatles and I tried to learn how to play like them, and no one could figure out what Paul was doing on the bass. Not only was he playing differently because he plays left-handed, he played notes that no one had put together before — in a way that made us stand in awe of this great musician. As a musician, as a songwriter, Paul’s craft and his art are truly at the top of his game, the way Charlie Chaplin was an actor. He has an ability to put melodies and feelings and chords together, but it’s the soul that he puts into everything he does that makes me feel so good and so happy to be here“.
Neil Young om Paul McCartney
Der er åbenbart ingen ende på den hæder og ære, der skal tilfælde Paul McCartney. Ledsaget af fru Nancy, sønnike James og en række musikalske venner med Neil Young, Elvis Costello og Diane Krall i spidsen fik Macca sin bestjernede flise uden for Capitol Records bygning i går torsdag. Macca kvitterede for Youngs hyldest ved dele æren med John, George og Ringo. Det manglede da også bare… Til lykke.
