“When we first started
out, I was terrified of doing anything wrong onstage. I got to learn, though,
that people don’t mind. In fact, they kind of like it. People go, ‘I was at the
show where he made a mistake!’”—English composer and rock ‘n’ roll legend Sir
Paul McCartney, quoted by Hardeep Phull, “Paul McCartney Plays for the Kids at Frank Sinatra School,” New York Post, Oct. 9, 2013
I wasn’t that big a fan of Paul McCartney’s
post-Beatles work in the Seventies, but I’m curious to see the recent
documentary about that period, Man on the Run.
It sounds like, more than
half a century after he went on his own, we may be learning new, even
surprising, things about one of the most significant forces in popular music in
the 20th century.
