Celebrating Sir Paul: She’s My Baby

Tweet

Paul’s big day has passed. He’s on his way to 85 now! Seriously, it’s great to still have some of our legends still living and healthy. I’m still celebrating, and here’s the next song on my list of favorite McCartney tunes throughout his career. She’s My Baby (Wings) Yes, it’s another song from Paul telling of his love for Linda. If you didn’t get the message from his very first solo song (“The Lovely Linda”), he kept reminding you. Seriously, rock and roll is a wild way of life. How many rockers, or celebrities in general, do you know who’ve been married to the same person for a long time? (Quick side note: yesterday, in addition to being McCartney’s birthday, was the 49th wedding anniversary of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads!!) So let him. I’d say it’s no understatement that a tremendous amount of Paul died with Linda in 1998. His music of the 21st century has been more introspective. Part of that is being older, of course; however, a good deal of it can also be traced to being older without the love of your life getting older with you. So celebrate love. His, yours, everyone’s. We need more love in the world. She’s My Baby Written by Paul and Linda McCartney From Wings At the Speed of Sound (Wings), 1976 Like gravy, down to the last drop:
