I mean, if he was never a Beatle, you got to think would of he had the opportunities he did that lead to him doing things with Wings and then his solo stuff.

fraybentos1 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 46 minutes ago, The Martini Police said: Maybe they got someone a bit cheaper then. Handy profit if it's already sold out and they're not risking damaging the brand in any way. 42 minutes ago, Hugh Jass II said: Good point. Is it not post malone they got instead? Doesn’t strike me as much cheaper if even cheaper at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not averse to a bit of alternate history, but that's such a massive "what if?" then you rapidly get into pure speculation. If Paul hadn't been a Beatle, then would the Beatles even have been popular? Would rock'n'roll have changed the world to the same extent? Would Glastonbury even exist as a festival? Without the Beatles, would Macca even have been a musician? Would he still be alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be funny here or anything, it's just that the song was written during the cold war and Macca has performed it ever since as far as I can tell. This is despite the Soviet Union, and then Russia being complete dickheads for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamishA. Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Probably just a coincidence, but the Weeknd was supposed to announce his world tour dates today, but didn't because of the news. Possibly he was due to announce Glasto today, alongside Macca, but it's all gone a bit pear shaped because of Russia?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
