So glad that I too was blessed to grow up with the Beatles.  The days of expectation waiting for the next single, next album to be released were magic.  When I first heard this I really never expected to REACH  64 - life of "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll"!  Now I have passed it and am not yet past it!  What an album!  Still sounds great today.{#Cowboy}

Don't comment that often, but last month I pulled up youtube in my four classes that I taught that day (my birthday) and I played this song stating that "this is honor of me". I was 19 years old when I first heard it in '67, wow 45 years later.

It is soooo incredible how this song sounds deceptively like a simple pop song, but the lyrics match the best of Shakespeare...

this song is from the single best album in the history of humanity...

I think what Stingray might have been getting at (aside from his repeated references to what he considers the advanced ages of other RP listeners), is that if McCartney were to sing this song today, it would not be appropriate for him to say "...when I am sixty-four".  Since Sir Paul is now at least sixty-eight years old, he should sing "when I was sixty-four".

It's comments like these that frost my petunias.  "We Can Work it Out", "Getting Better", hardly a ditty, my dear. 

Up to and including:

"Let It Be,"
"Yesterday,"
"Eleanor Rigby,"
"Hey Jude,"
"Get Back,"
"Penny Lane,"
"Blackbird,"
 "Oh! Darling,"
 "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Can't Buy Me Love," "Hello, Goodbye," "The Long and Winding Road," "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," "Paperback Writer," "Michelle," "Golden Slumbers," "Back in the USSR," "Fixing a Hole," "Lady Madonna," "You Never Give Me Your Money," "Helter Skelter," and "Yellow Submarine," (Ringo sang it, but Paul wrote the song.)


Together, they were golden.

This song was mentioned on Jeopardy last night — they said Paul wrote it for his father, who was 64 at the time.

I'm busy with caricatures of Rock musicians since the late 70s.
Lots of them were released on CD-covers, calendars and music magazines.

Okay, I don't get it. romeotuma is positive and upbeat, and y'all dump on him—Poacher's dis is completely uncalled for. What? You'd rather have the unrelentingly mindless and negative Excelsior back? So what if romeotuma has a limited vocabulary, and so what if he only rates the songs he considers 10s? Jeez, give a little...

 
Yes, I don't understand either, people getting uptight over someone enjoying everything they hear on RP.  We need more upbeat, positive people in the world like Romeotuma!
