McCartney Times

Some albums, and their reputations, don’t age well. Sometimes it is because the style is passe (examples: disco, 1980s productions with programmed drums and synthesizers), and sometimes it’s because, well … some artists just aren’t hip, or weren’t hip.”Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs / And what’s wrong with that?”In 1976, disco was just about to fade away and punk rock was just starting to flourish. In 1977, the world would receive “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” and the self-titled debut from The Clash. In a world of torn clothes, spit and indignation, silly love songs were anything but hip.
