Happy 70th birthday, Paul McCartney!Sir Paul McCartney turns 70 years young today, and remains just as much a fixture of music and pop culture as he was when Beatlemania swept the U.S. more than 40 years ago. The 12 months since his last birthday have been busy ones for the former Beatle. He performed at the Grammys in February; headlined this month's concert in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's diamond jubilee; received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; put out an album of covers called "Kisses on the Bottom"; and also found time to walk down the aisle for the third time last fall.
Next month, he'll also close out the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympics in London. Speaking to Rolling Stone in February, McCartney sees no reason to stop doing what he loves the most. "You get the argument, 'Make way for the young kids.' And you think, 'F*** that, let them make way for themselves," he said. "If they're better than me, they'll beat me." And besides, he added, "If you're enjoying it, why do something else?" Words of wisdom from a legend. In honor of McCartney's birthday, singer Paul Weller is offering a one day only downloadable cover of The Beatles' "Birthday," and we'd love to hear what McCartney favorites you're listening to as we celebrate his 70th in the comments below. |

Paul was my favorite Beatle and "I wanna hold your hand" was the first 45 I bought when I was 12 and he was 22. Dreamed of marrying him, but I thought he was too old for me!! Happy birthday to my first celebrity crush.

Happy 70th Birthday Paul and please think about getting back on stage with Ringo!!!!
xoxoxoxoxo
Fantastic musician, kudos for weathering fame with grace, however, 70 years old and pretending not to have gray hair. Hhhhmmmm......
Wonderful Career, Paulie! From dung heap dives to the "toppermost of the poppermost," through the
travails of the drab 1970s and the rediculous 1980s, through the laborious 1990s to today.
Rock 'n Roll; Classical Music; Opera; Ballet. A fully experienced career with tragedy and triumph.
It seems as if your story is straight out of a novel brought to reality. Tell us the name of your "Lucky Star"!
Beatles Music: Neo-classical popular music with a accent on the backbeat.
Great to listen to but too complex and mixed to play live properly. Only failure of "Beatles Music" I can think of.
Keep going and good luck to you!
Retire already...you've had your day.
He's my least fave Beatle and definately over-rated
The best music he wrote was in collaboration with John Lennon
Wings was HORRIBLE and his music today is forgettable.
Vivee- Your brain is pulp. Paul is and always was the man.
Norman is my true love.
My Dad is still on social security.
He will always be young to us children of the 60's!
wasnt he one the california raisins
that was funny, bravo
Many said he was the cutest Beatle, I just know he pays more alimony than the GDP of Burkina Faso
Thanks for everything Paul. Its been a great ride all these years. Many more.
Happy, happy birthday, Sir Paul- and many more!
Happy Birthday my man..
Happy birthday, Sir Paul. Still rockin' at age 70. May we all be so lucky!
Happy birthday, Paulie!!!! FABS RULE!
