Paul McCartney tries so much to be cool I can not take it anymore
In one way or another, the man who co-wrote the white album makes me fear.
Friday,Paul McCartney Announced the release of "Egypt Station", its first original material album since 2013 "New", with a resolutely millennium tweet that is totally adorable or totally cring-shield, depending on your perspective.
"When it's on Friday and #Egypt is finally released! #FRIDYFEELING, "he writes, accompanied by a gif of him looking victorious in a recording studio with the words" Friday feeling "(for the record, it is not necessary to leather the same if you Already use as a hashtag -and by making a self-gif, goes against the tacit rules of gif-manufacturing.)
In another attempt to enter with young people, McCartney appeared in a sketch in which he,Jimmy Fallon, and yes,Kendall Jenner, Dancing to one of his new singles, called "Fuh You".
The clip broadcast on Fallon before his appearance onThe show tonight Thursday, and frankly, the guy falls in front less like a living legend and titan of rock-n-roll and more like a cross between your father who claims to love Justin Bieber-and who is, as, totally ok with smoking pot-and one of the "wild and crazy guys" ofSaturday Night Live.
Am I the only one who does not need to remember Paul McCartney he isPaul Friggin 'McCartney?As in man, legend, irreplaceable music icon?
For what it is worth it, the comments of "Egypt Station" seem to indicate that I am not alone in my discomfort at his attempts to stay hip.The Guardiannot music reviewAlexis Peadidis wrote that the album is the "last of a series of ingred slots for the contemporaneity on the part of McCartney". However, he adds that the 16-track album is "at his best when he finds new ways for McCartney to be as McCartneDesque as possible." What makes sense, because McCartney is at his cooler when he acts like the McCartney we know and love, the one who will always be cool, no matter how a classic never agies. But there is nothing less cool than trying to be cool. (For the best performance of Sir Paul's television of all the time, in which he plays without cool effort,See here.)
What is really cool, and extremely admirable, is the fact that McCartney, which is 72 years old, not only continues to produce new albums, but also visits, because it certainly does not need money or the 'adulation. (He will make a concert in New York tonight at a secret place, that you can watch via Livestream, followed by a full-fledged tour in 2019.)
In fact, I saw McCartney in concert once, during his tour for "Rain Strike" in 2002. During the show, he judged that he would never take his retirement and that they would bring it on stage in a Wheelchair one day. It struck me hard, because here is a man who has clearly written music purely to make music, which played purely for the love of the scene. It's also really cool.
I can not wait to see the legend of music on stage for many years to come. I just hope he leaves the Kardashians at home.
