I am beginning to think that there is something inherently wrong with our latest generation.Recently, Sir Paul McCartney collaborated on a song, "Only One" with Kanye West. Many of Kanye's fans took to Twitter to find out who the "unknown" artist is on the track and even credited Kanye with helping McCartney acquire fame.One twit tweeted:she added.Another twit tweeted:At first I thought the whole '' thing was a hoax. A stupid hoax, but still a hoax.And I worry about Sir Paul's senility. After all, he's the one that made the choice to pair up with that d-bag (and I'm not talking dimes here) Kanye (don't even get me started on my thoughts here!).Then came the Grammy's. On stage was Kanye, Rihanna, and Sir Paul McCartney. It seemed there was a little *ahem* audio trouble and Sir Paul's mic was not plugged in.The day after the Grammy's, a friend of mine was at the salon getting her hair done. One of the girls commented about the Grammy'sSeriously? Granted they may not know about, but who on this planet has not heard of the? You know, the group that has been the inspiration for just about every other band since?But now that I reflect upon this, ever since I started this blog, I'd get comments on well-known artists stating how they had never heard of such and such individual. But to not know who Paul McCartney is? That's a sin against music.So let me take this opportunity to introduce you to Sir Paul McCartney.Here are some quick facts:Who the heck is Paul McCartney? Indeed. If you want to know more, Google it.
