All in all, Macca's not doing so bad.

How many kids does Rod Stewart have by how many women? He's fortunate millions of people by those rubbishy records he's been making for decades now. His overhead must be out of this world, regardless of how many he actually married, divorced, etc.

>>With all respect due you Wints, maybe it's a little presumptuous to draw those conclusions about the guy's personality without knowing him personally.<<

I would say the same about her as well.

ooh you're quick Glenn, I lopped that entire section out of my post!!

I didn't say he was one Glenn, only that he could certainly come across as one. Not being critical, just an observation...

The fact of the matter is that he was, and probably still is, a vulnerable old man. The old saying "No fool like an old fool" sadly comes to mind...

And he is my favourite Beatle...

Should it really surprise any of us that McCartney, who has been trashed repeatedly for writing too many love songs, would actually believe that love could surmount any possible problems in marriage? I think Paul simply fell and fell hard. This was, what, his third long-term relationship? Jane Asher, Linda, Heather. Call him inexperienced, I guess. He had the luxury of having been in only one marriage, and that a good one. One bad marriage out of two? That's a pretty common statistic, I think. And I don't know too many people in the heat of a new love who would listen to the opinions of family and friends who thought the new spouse to be was a golddigger. Paul goofed. It happens. It hurts. I'm sure he doesn't care about the money. I hope he has good friends to help him through the mess.

Dave what a great post. I whole heartedly agree with you.

I'm sure he has good friends. And I don't necessarily disagree with some of the armchair observations of him. And for that matter, a lot of the trash predicted to have turned up about her months ago by now has not yet appeared.

The other thing he has that few others have is if he's alone, he's super alone. He can't just go out and walk around and think about it, or hang with his friends in public like we can. That's got to be harder than if he could.

Not to draw a comparison between the two, but Elvis' pre-disposition with material things and entertaining himself was more complex than the fact that he wasn't very well educated or had been in show business from a very young age.

That kind of fame brings natural isolation the type we can't even imagine, with or without a mate.

Elvis lived in the era before prenuptual agreements and cohabitation laws...oh, what a simpler time!

I just hope we won't face the next "trick" in a couple of months: "Oh, you know - he has never been a good father, he never really cared about our daughter, and now, he doesn't even want to see her, talk to her... And he calls himself a Father, a Man!"
I just hope we won't hear that...

This whole thing makes me sick. I don't care who you are or how much money you have or how bad your judgment is. At 64 everyone should have some peace in their life.

> Dad! Dad! She's a gold-digger! Dad! Dad! Don't marry her!! Dad! DAD!! Oh ****....

If you hear Heather walking with a "clang" sound,
it's because she replaced her fake leg with a shovel
