Grow the fuck up, Paul.

I love you.. but your ego bullshit has to stop. Don't bitch and complain that John became a martyr after his tragic death and since then most people think John wrote the bulk of Beatles material over you simply because his name is first in the credits. Enough already! You never seemed to care at the time, and now so many years later you have to ( Read more... )

Hey, Ras!

I know Paul loves/loved Johnny..but it's in these moments when he seems to feel the need to "split hairs" regarding who wrote what and what "percentage" they were responsible for that I feel that Paul's ego runneth amok. My whole point with Amy was simply to shed some light on that. I wasn't trying to "knock" Paul. I love him, always will and think he is one damn fine musician. That said, like ALL of us, he has an ego. There is no shame in that. It's something we all battle with as human beings every day. My only "beef" is that Paul now and then gets on these "tears" of needing to "remind" the public of his Beatle contributions..and in so doing, it's almost like he's displaying a not-so-subtle resentment towards his best mate..and to ME, it just seems uncalled for..to keep rehashing the same shit and to keep trying to tell the story of the "Lennon/McCartney" name order and blah, blah..as if he feels he needs to PROVE anything to anyone..and my point is that when PAUL passes away, he will be revered to a HIGHER level than John. I know it..and so do most other fans/people..and so what's Paul so "worried" about that he constantly feels the need to "prove" anything to anyone regarding his stature in Beatle history? Why does he always seem to come off so threatened? That's my only complaint. I just wanted him to let it go, already, and stop worrying about it and comparing him and John. It's unnecessary. I mean..he says he loves John, and I believe it..believe me..yet, when he says he has no resentment about anything or "hard feelings", I find THAT hard to believe..and I'm just "calling him out" on it. Again, I love him AND John. I just don't "get" Paul always bringing this issue up now and again. But Amy decided to misread my ire and seemed to think I was "dissing" Paul, and suggested that I was saying Paul is JEALOUS of John's canonization since his death. I wasn't suggesting that at all. I was saying that Paul RESENTS that after his death, John was perceived to be the only "true" force behind the Beatles and their songs..and while it's understandable to a degree that Paul would be upset by this wrong perception, considering all he's done in music and how much more revered he is over JOHN for his contributions, I don't see why it still has to be an issue with him. That's all I was ranting about..yet, Amy decided to talk down to me like I was a child and then unfriended me. Fuck her. I'm so sick of people getting in my face..yet when I try to fight back, they can't handle it and decide that I'M the one being diffcult. PLEASE.

Sorry for the rant, luv. Good to see you. Hope you're doing okay. xx
