Another crime of McC's was taking his wifie Linda from her photography and
what seemed to be forcing her to sing (badly) onstage with Wings, as if he
had to compete with Lennon's Yoko.  He's now an old, angry man, like 

That said, as much as I've enjoyed the Stones over their many years, when
people ask "Beatles or Stones," I'm always quick to answer, "Beatles."

Heh. Macca has been guilty of a lot of crimes - against music, taste,
history, etc. - over the years. He can be a very irritating interviewee, the
way he wildly overestimates how much heavy empathis each well-worn anecdote
requires for the viewer to 'get' it. Most of the footage of him in the
Beatles Anthology videos is toe-curlingly embarrassing. He constantly
rewrites history, and he tried to have the songwriting credits on the
Beatles' back catalogue changed from 'Lennon & McCartney' to 'McCarthey &
Lennon'. Imagine being insecure about that after all these years.

Still and all, I could never hate him. There should be life-size statues of
The Beatles in every city in Britain, maybe even the world. Did you see him
on Letterman? What an inanity fest. What a f**king moron that Letterman is.
"SO, you were in The Beatles, with John Lennon, is that right? And you first
came over her in 1963, is that right?" Didn't you give Macca credit when,
asked why he'd never been on the show before he replied, "I don't like the
show", and left Letterman hanging, expecting a defusing joke which never
came. Genius.
