====================== Well if one measures sucess only by buck$/pound$ made by moving teenage emotions-''I want to hold your hand!'' No wonder the White House invited him in. Actually @ the time [1960s]it was a moving sight= teenage girls emotionaly screaming /jumping/moving...LOL Somewhat of a clever liars Paul/beatles were; imagine a clever emotional based lie like song.Song even better sounding when ''high';'' ' 'Back in the USSR you dont know how lucky you are...'' Sir Paul was nothing compared to King Solomon or King David ; especially when it comes to songwiting. See the book of Psalms/ Hebrew Hymns. Solomon was the wisest /weathiest man who ever lived. Also i dont consider [Sir Paul]or any animal rights activests to be a ''success''; Solomon said ''the lazy man roasts not that which he took in hunting, but the industrious man reaps a rich harvest[ Proverbs] . Sounds like Sir Paul needs to read the Bible; President Bush read it thru yearly. Spell checker not used...
