Paul McCartney: Musical Genius, Political Idiot

Former Beatle Paul McCartney has announced that global warming "deniers" are equivalent to holocaust deniers.

This proves that a musical genius can still be a political idiot.  You're really pushing it, Paulsy.  Let me explain to you a few basic facts.

Anthropogenic Global warming is a socialist scam for gaining power and increasing control over the lives and fortunes of citizens everywhere.  It is an invented "crisis" with no basis in reality, marked by doctored data and fraudulent science.  There are more scientists who don't believe in AGW then there are ones who do.  The ones who do are generally socialists with an agenda who are making big bucks off of government grants to supply their comrades in power with the doctored data needed to further the fraud.

The Holocaust, on the other hand had some evidence to support it.  All of those dead bodies and mass graves, for instance.  The AGW theory, however, has only "computer models" to support it, and those models are woefully incapable of predicting weather patterns.  Major AGW theories, like the "hockey stick," keep getting knocked down by facts and objective science.  Worldwide temperatures continue to plunge, sea ice has never been more plentiful and polar bears are thriving.  No matter, the fraud will continue to attract superficial and naive celebrities like the vacuous Paul McCartney.

As some Russian once observed, even idiots can be useful.

A 46 Year Fan to Paul McCartney: Shut Up and Sing, Paul. No One Is Interested In Your Naive Political Views.

Paul McCartney, formerly of the Beatles and world renowned singer/songwriter, shot himself in the foot yesterday.  After performing for the mental midget in the White House, McCartney felt obligated to take an unnecessary potshot at George W. Bush.  The performance occasion at the White House was to award McCartney the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.  Thanking the Library of Congress, McCartney quipped, "After the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is."

McCartney's remark implies some sort of intellectual superiority of Obama over Bush; however, someone who is rigidly married to the perennial failure of socialism is no genius, and certainly not someone intellectually curious, informed or well read.  Further, the incompetence, naiveté and ignorance of Barack Obama is now becoming glaringly obvious to even his most ardent supporters. There is a reason why Obama has not released his college transcripts for public review, i.e. his grades are not so hot.  Perhaps he should have spent more time in a library and less time smoking pot.

It's funny, guys like Paul McCartney moved the USA to avoid the killing taxes of their socialist home country; then once here, they advocate that the US convert to the same system they tried to escape.

I have been a fan of Paul McCartney since I first saw his mug on a television screen in 1964, when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.  I saw him perform live with the Beatles in 1964 and 1965, at the Cow Palace near San Francisco.  I have long admired and celebrated his musical genius.  However, his dumb statement yesterday is disappointing.

Paul McCartney on Bill Black's String Bass

I love string bass (electric bass too) and I have been a fan of Paul McCartney since 1964. I have been an Elvis fan since 1957. In the early days of his career, Elvis had a great guitar player named Scotty Moore and a string bass player named Bill Black. The electric bass guitar was not widely used yet (Fender introduced the Precision Bass in 1951), so Bill Black used the old-fashioned acoustic, stand-up bass (still preferred for jazz and orchestras).

Paul McCartney somehow came into possession of Bill Black's old bass and demonstrates it in this video.
