Episode #61: I am sick of talking about Paul McCartney!

This week on the show...Paul McCartney is one of the most, if not the most, enduring and studied people in pop culture, and as I learn more about myself, I enjoy using whatever Paul is presenting to the public (or trying to hide) about his past and present as a real-time compare and contrast.I wasn’t going to watch the new Paul doc, Paul McCartney: Man On The Run until my friend David said he had seen it, loved it, and asked if I had watched it. I thought that it might be a fun topic to explore in the small, but substantial enough amount of time when David is commuting to work before the Rocky Mountains block his cell phone signal.He replied, “Of course! We can totally nerd out.” I guess this meant I had to watch the film. It was my suggestion, after all. I just had a feeling that I would end up exactly where I am now. I am sick of talking about Paul McCartney! Please enjoy me talking about Paul McCartney.+++As Mentioned!See my friend David’s daily Post-It Note Sharpie sketches on Instagram here.Read my previous Paul article “Has Your Best Friend Ever Been Murdered?” here.See Paul’s emotional reaction while listening to “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)” here.+++Buy My Book!The Apples In Stereo by Josh Bloom is available now from J-Card Press.
