I know this isn't the most important thing in the world

but lately I've been bothered by some comments about Paul McCartney, his appearance on SNL and his age. I'm not one to sling the term "ageist" around, but some of the comments were at least borderline. Sure, he may not sound like he did fifty years ago but can we give him a break? I mean, the guy is a legend. Soon we won't have him or many other pioneers of rock around at all.

Paul is a good liberal humanitarian who has contributed so much. I'm too young to have experienced his early career, and he is not even my favorite Beatle, but I have respect for his willingness to put himself out there even though I'm sure he knows that he's "past it" as they say in Britain. That takes a certain kind of courage which I hope I possess at his age.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone agreed with me.
