Paul McCartney at 80: A Liverpool lad whose sane creativity endures

Turning 80 on June 18 2022, Paul McCartney has enjoyed an immense level of fame for 60 years. It’s to his credit that he continues relatively humble, sensible and creative. He may be the greatest popular song-writer of the 20th century. His melodic and harmonic gifts, demonstrated over decades, seem unmatched by his near-competitors and he still writes songs that invite people to sing along.

McCartney’s continuous productivity and popularity have a solid basis in attitudes — a loving celebration of people and places, together with optimism and a desire to add beauty to life — that are worth honouring and emulating because they are no longer common among artists.
