CNN.com - McCartney not letting music be - June 8, 2002

I was watching VH1 -- because I am the least hip person in the world -- and I saw a new Paul McCartney video. The first thing that struck me was that he's dyed his hair. The second was that this video, which had lots of CGI effects, must have cost a lot to make, and yet it probably won't affect his sales much at all. (The music didn't strike me much at all; it's the same stuff he's been purveying for about twenty years, a blandly unoffensive love song.) Paul has all the money he'll ever need, and it keeps coming in, but he still makes music. And he must love it, because he's not going to sell a whole lot, and the critics aren't going to say much positive about it, and when he goes on concert tours all anyone wants to hear is the old stuff. But he keeps going, and I can only think that's because he loves it. And there's nothing wrong with that at all.

I just wish the music was better.
