Yesterday was Paul McCartney’s 80th birthday! Way back in 1967, I remember listening to the song, “When I’m Sixty Four,” off of Sgt. Pepper and thinking about how old a person would be when they hit that age.
Paul McCartney was 25-years-old back in 1967 and I was nine. Now I’m 64 and he just turned 80-years-old. Yikes!
Anyway, in honor of Sir Paul’s milestone birthday, here’s six links to online articles about Paul McCartney and a video showing The Beatles aging.
Then there’s also The MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog next week!
