James McCartney - 66 Second Interview

James McCartney gets 66 seconds to tell us who the greatest rockstar of all time is, which song he wishes he'd written and who would play him in a film.

[@captainfreedom7182]

'If i came to your house what would you cook me?' 'ahh...um...The Beadles?'

[@jamesstone9091]

yes,he said vegetables, non-playing mofo vegetables

[@ronson232]

For a guy who has repeatedly said he wants to be treated on his own terms as a musician and not as Beatle offspring, he sure can't stop mentioning the Beatles.

[@PogieJoe]

That was my thought exactly...

[@josephmarshall6599]

Can you not sense his heavy heavy biting sarcasm?

[@ronson232]

Joseph Marshall Nope, don't sense a whiff of sarcasm or even self-awareness.

He's being sincere and he's not afraid to admit his love for his dad and The Beatles, and he's absolutely right. There's nothing like The Beatles. Kudos James!!! His new single is awesome by the way, it's called "Beautiful"

So you have to walk in someone's shoes before forming an opinion about them?

[@elfinia]

No, you don't Edward but I have followed his life a little bit ( having been a huge Beatles fan ) and I try to have some empathy. I think he has had to overcome many problems. Interesting that just because his father is a talented,world-famous millionaire doesn't mean that James's life has been easy.

[@LuluTforme7]

So there are a ton of celeb spawn that are famous just for being the sons or daughters of famous people. See any supermodel nowadays or even Stella. Why is it when you are a loser (see Cameron Douglas) that all of a sudden being rich and famous is holding you back? Bullshit!!

FFS GET OFF THE lads back! He grew up in the shadow of the most talented musician in history, who was part of the biggest band in history and who has charisma in abundance. Yes he did say he wanted to be judged separately from the Beatles, however it doesnt mean that he doesn't love them. Also. If he was being sarcastic he wouldn't have included nevermind.

[@davidbrown8763]

"Most talented musician of all time"? I think that Bach, Beethoven and Mozart could have something to say about that. However, Paul McCartney is certainly among the greatest musicians of all time...and I do believe that Bach, Beethoven and Mozart would agree on that.

[@MysterySteve]

I feel so sorry for him. Obviously he's just uncomfortable because he knows he'll never grow out of his dad's shadow. I mean it's all but confirmed based on his responses that he's just thinks he's never be as good as his dad. I will forever support him in his ventures. I mean, the only thing I would want to tell him to do is get some therapy before he goes too much further. Clearly he has a pretty unique sort of daddy issues and he legitimately needs some help before something bad happens. It's happened before and it'll happen again if he ignores it. Just stay safe and be as awesome as we all know you can be, man. Just be you and be the best damn you you can be and it's possible that people might be able to see you separately. Don't worry, just handle it rationally and everything's going to be okay. Best of luck in everything. We all love you.

[@loosilu]

How could he not have Daddy issues? Poor guy.

So Steve are you a psychologist? EVERYONE is in Paul's shadow and even he said, sometime I just have to pinch myself. Paul's gift flows through him not from him; he has said as much on many occasions.

James is the onlybson of Kinda and Paul and the one who has both of them in his. looks wise , you can see both his mom and dad in him. personallity wise, he is so much like his late mother Linda, so humble inspite of their status. now as far as his talent for music, he certainly has it, he is just a bit shy and he doesn't look confortable with the attention he receives, and understandably so. i would say to James, just keep up the good work, yku are a musician i you own right and i am sure your dear, wonderful mother is looking down on you with so much pride. i know your father is just as proud. i am your number one fan .

He would do better to find his own passion and pursue it. Too much Beatles. He clearly doesn't need to work, he's well heeled and always will be; thats not a crime. He loves his family, which is good, good basics, and has the freedom to do whatever he would like to do. Choose for (you) James. Live your life, do your own "spectacular."

[@markusrose9667]
