I saw him live within the last decade and it was a weird experience. He talked about Jimi Hendrix and the rest of the Beatles as if they all hung out recently. He was also funny and entertaining.

I remember when he released the track 'New'. I was surprised at how good it was. A bittersweet, nostalgic love song that was catchy.

I love the Beatles but only know a handful of Wings tracks. I recently discovered the song 'Nineteen Hundred and Eight Five'. Definitely worth a listen if you want to hear him at his post-beatles peak.

I'm sure I'll be crucified for saying so but... who cares.

That’s fair. Despite their innovations, they were really poppy. That’s certainly not for everyone.

I don't hate on them I just dislike their stuff. Doesn't help my music theory teacher in high school spent hours teaching us their formula and how it was basically just add a 7th and you're the Beatles lol. It was obviously more complex than that but it's been 30 years.
