You said: “We thought that Paul McCartney had already reached the bottom of the barrel – what with Rock Band: The Beatles, the horrible Love mash-up album and Let It Be Naked, a nightmarish ‘What The Beatles Would Be Like If Paul McCartney Had His Way’ vision…”

Why blame Paul for everything–even for things that aren’t necessarily bad or weren’t even his ideas to begin with?

1. The Rock Band video game supposedly has Dhani Harrison (George’s son) as its driving force, not Paul. For all you know, it might be ridiculously awesome.

2. The “Love” Cirque du Soleil show was George Harrison’s idea, not Paul’s. And as far as mash-up albums go, “Love” is a damn good one!

3. “Let It Be… Naked” is actually superior to the original Phil Spector-produced version. The cleaned-up sound gives the album a stronger and more powerful impact than it had before. Paul got it RIGHT with this one!

And as a diehard Beatles fan, I would love to hear “Carnival of Light.” It’s part of Beatles history, and really, it can’t be worse than “Revolution 9.”

Seriously, what is up with you ignorant Macca haters? Why is Paul always a scapegoat for everything?! What’s next? Are you going to blame him for global warming and the recession too?

Albeit, Paul McCartney has made his fair share of mistakes when it comes to his solo career, but this article was obviously written by someone who doesn’t know much about The Beatles. Let It Be …Naked was the way the album was supposed to be released before Phil Spector and his “wall of sound” got a hold of it. The LOVE show (which is fabulous!) is completely different than the LOVE CD and it was George Harrison’s idea. And the Anthology… all of the surviving Beatles, as well as Yoko Ono agreed to not only to release it, but participate in the making of it. If this new track, Carnival of Light has any hope of being released, Paul must get Ringo, Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono to agree. He can’t just do it by himself. (sorry for the long post)

You should be delighted they did Yellow Submarine .. I loved that movie and now my kids love it . Paul`s only being attacked because he`s alive . Now if he was dead he will be a bigger legend than lennon and harrison and praised for all he has done and accomplished ,But since he is alive and still going strong some of you nobodys think you`re cool and hip to knock him . Pauls will go down as the biggest Beatle.

Well I am delighted Macca managed to keep the band together long enough to record Yellow Submarine.

John chose Paul to be his partner in 1957 or 1958.I think that entitles him to do what ever he f-en wants.If you`re going to blame paul for everything you might as well blame him for keeping the band together after Brian Epstein died cause without Paul we wouldnt have Magical Mystery Tour the White Album Yellow submarine Let it Be or Abbey Road to listen to. It was no secret that Lennon and harrison would`ve quit if paul didnt push to keep the band together for all those records..Like the guy said above Harrison was behind Cirque de Soleil..

I thought the Cirque de Soleil ‘Love’ thing was pretty good actually. Besides which, it was George Harrison’s idea so if you didn’t like it, don’t blame McCartney.

Thanks “Ian Richardson,” if that is your real name. I guess we’re also supposed to believe you live in a place called “Tulsa”? Ha, don’t make us laugh, “Ian”.

Enough said. What a mental midget.

But who would want Ringo’s autograph anyway?

What’s wrong with Let It Be…Naked? Far superior.
