    When I was young John was my favorite Beatle. But now that I’ve learned about the actual men, Paul was the only Beatle that had always been a decent person.

      Wow, I just looked into it, and McCartney hasn’t really had any controversies. I was under the impression that they were all rather awful people. Any idea wny?

        Well, he’s rich (probably close to a billionaire), and IIRC he’s a rabid copyright supporter (mostly because it benefits him). But now that I’ve tried to look up the source for that second claim, I can’t find it easily - maybe I’m confusing him with another Beatle.

          I mean are we really gonna drag this guy down with all the others because he is a proponent for copyright laws. That’s not even bad it’s the most luke warm take ever.
