And then MJ screwed him over by buying the Beatles catalog.

First world McCartney problems

[–]jpoma 3 points4 points ago

I remember MJ did something to the rights, but I couldn't remember. So I looked it up, and found this:

Owning music rights is quite the complex endeavour.

I knew MJ owned The Beatles catalog, but had no idea of what went down. Very interesting.

Say say say, what you want

Paul, I Think I Told You, I'm A Lover Not A Fighter

Ebony and Ivory.

What about Paul?

If only one or the other of them had had a doggone girl to do the washing-up for them...

[–]HISTORYBLAST 0 points1 point ago

While these fellas were definitely insanely cool at different times I can't bring myself to declare them at all cool at this point in their careers. OK maybe MJ but definitely not PM.

[–]Mughi 3 points4 points ago

Although I take your point, I would imagine that Paul McCartney's wealth and his standing as a member of the single biggest band in history means that he probably doesn't give a shit about being "cool."

He was black, not Mexican. Stop being racist!

Minor color correction to undo years of degeneration.

[–]lube_thighwalker 4 points5 points ago

I mean no disrespect, but the color correction makes it look worse and takes away from the quality of years of degeneration. But OP's version is still shit quality to begin with, so good job!

[–]Tenkinus 0 points1 point ago

No disrespect taken. :)

Edit: I'll add that often when I see a an old photo like this one, I'll color correct it myself just to see what comes of it. Sometimes the resulting image is amazing, sometimes it's a little better and sometimes, like this one, the image loses some of its charm. I just thought I'd share this with you folks.

Repost of a repost of a repost. Did I mention this has been reposted?

Why do we continue to idolize a guy who liked to dittle little boys? And I'm not talking about Sir Paul.

[–]Smsmith -2 points-1 points ago

Because he was one of the greatest artists of his time? Whats so special about you?

[–]mykroman -3 points-2 points ago

So, his diddling little boys is excusable if he's an artist? Yeah, that makes sense. So long as we all are entertained then MJ can break the law.

Every thing is special about me. I don't have any issues with my own self worth.

You on the other hand need to hope death row innmates don't start churning out gold records.
