Now, if you told me that they didn't know who Toby Keith is... Well, fuck those liberal LBJ living pansies if they don't love Toby Keith.

Marc Summers wrote:Paul McCartney is 72 years old now. I think it's a bit naive to think anyone under the age of 20-25 should know who he is. My parents were huge Beatles fans way back when and I learned about them in music classes. However, for anyone born in the 90s, there's a good chance their parents were born in the 70s. I don't think its reasonable to expect parents who grew up after the Beatles were already old news to then preach the gospel of the Beatles to their kids.

Well then they need to listen to a classic rock station. They've got the Beatles and McCartney on rotation every fifteen minutes.

No bro. That's like saying it would be okay for me to not know who Frank Sinatra is. There's certain things everybody who's a human and not living off the grid should know.

I do. Also you're such a bitch. I will say it to your face. Meet me at Beaumont tower next Saturday. I'm going to beat your ass.

McCartney is a giant tool.

What a surprise, you don't like Paul McCartney. Is it because of his animal rights activism, or do you also have shit taste in music?

My guess is both.

Cym Jim wrote:

I can't stand him either. And he's made awful music since The Beatles split.

Cameron wrote:

Why is it that you can't stand him?

Cym Jim wrote:

He's always been way too far stuck up his own arse, poor judgment, corporate shite, bad women . . . and Live and Let Die is probably the worst song ever written.

Don't dislike them, but their music is honestly, pretty mediocre.
