Now He's 64

Today is Paul McCartney's 64th birthday.  While he has had some difficulty in his solo career distinquishing between gems and gravel, it is tough to deny that he is likely the greatest pop writer in history.  And much of his stuff is astoundingly good - including much from his last few albums.  So, happy birthday Paul - the answer to the question posed in "When I'm 64" seems to be yes.

Oh, and if you don't know the question asked in "When I'm 64", shame on you!

Not So Scary Stephen?

There is a story in this morning's local paper about the Prime Minister taking in stray cats at 24 Sussex.  There is even a story on the PM's website about the felines.  Now doesn't that make Stephen Harper seem all soft and cuddly?!
