Paul McCartney: MJ Was a Talented 'Boy Man'

31. olddrunk

Excellent points. Paul was being gracious, all things considered. According to Yahoo.com, Jackson died
some $400 million in debt. Has there ever been anyone on this planet worse with money than MJ? Anyway,
I doubt Paul will see those music rights. Nor, I suspect, does he care.

33. It's nice that Sir Paul put it so gracefully.
Michael wasn't perfect, but who is? Isn't there something in the Christian bible that says, "Let ye who is without fault cast the first stone?" Or something like that. Most of the bible is useless, but this quote is quite a gem.

34. WHEN ONE IS SUCCESFULL AND YOURE ON TOP EVERY ONE WANTS TO BRING YOU DOWN, MICHAEL JACKSON TO ME WAS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME. HE WAS A GIANT. i TRULY BELIEVE THAT HE ACTUALLY LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY BUT THE NEGATIVITY ABOUT HIM WILL BE OVERSHOWED BY THE GREAT THINGS HE DID AS A HUMAN BEING. HE HAD AN ENTOURAGE THAT DIDNT HAVE HIS BEST INTEREST, INSTEAD THEY GAVE HIM BAD ADVICE AND TOOK HIS MONEY ...............................BUT MICHAEL I SIT HERE AND CRY , BUT THANK YOU IMMENSLY FOR KEEPINGME ENTERTAINED AS A CHILD AND AS AN ADULT! MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

35. Olddrunk hit the nail on the head. McCartney's response was proper. MJ's talent will be missed more than the man himself - at least by the rational thinking public - hopefully!

36. PFFFT.
All of you are drowned in Michaels rose colored glasses.
I will never like the man/boy. I love the music!!
He screwed over Paul McCartney to the tune of millions just because of his greed.
He and Paul were the best of friends up until the day after Michael aquired all of the beatles music.
Paul is NOT mad at Michael because he aquired the beatles music, it's because he lied to Paul in the days up to aquiring the music to get paul to back off of bidding for his own music.
I think all of you rose colored glasses Michael Jackson fans need to look up Just exactly what Michael Jackson did to Paul McCartney and how he did it...
After the incident with Paul, Paul tried numerously to call Jackson and Jackson would never take his calls. And that was what over 10 years ago? What a two faced person Michael Jackson was.
But All is war in fun and games to a child like Michael.
Michael Jackson RIP but all the beatles will die someday and I don't think you will be able to ignore their calls this time

37. He's all supportive now that he may be able to get his hands on the Beatles music catalog!

39. "Boy-man" is a compliment. All of Michael's closest friends have come out and said that he has always verbally identified himself as a person that has never really grown up (due to his childhood in the limelight). You can have an issue with someone and still feel sorrow about their passing! HELLO! How many times have we seen or heard people say, "If only I would have told so and so that I loved them." Even his own brother (Tito) has said that!

40. To begin with, Paul didn't own the songs himself at the time Michael purchased them. He out bid Paul and won the rights. Paul was upset and thus began a "feud" between them. It was a one-sided "feud" because (as one said) MJ never returned Paul's phone calls. That's quite a cop out. I would hope that Paul has mellowed over the years in regards to this issue, although you can never tell. His "man boy" comment is, I think, a referrence to MJ's being successful starting in his pre-adolescent years. Remember, he began with the Jackson 5 in 1966, when he was seven/eight years old. I also read somewhere that MJ had planned to alter his will and include Paul's name as the sole owner of MJ's share of the Beatles' catalogue. This was back in January of this year. I see no harm in this statement. You'll notice footage of Paul's reaction to John Lennon's murder in 1980 was, "it's a drag, isn't it?" That reaction was out of shock and I believe his reaction yesterday was the same.

41. What Paul said was not wrong. And with THAT said, I hope like HELL, he really gets those rights back.

42. To bad they never patched things up ... Now, it's to late.

... Just like with Lennon.

Paul ... "Give Peace a Chance" LOL.

Hey, for good karma Paul you need to go and give Yoko Ono a BIG hug and kiss .... Maybe, let Ringo sing on your next Album. Just don't marrie again ...

43. I donot appreciate the comment boy man. Yes, he has sinned, and no man is without sin, some greater, some lesser, but sin is sin.Micheal was a talented performer/artist. It seemed, he tried to be cordial, but i feel he insulted him with boy man.

44. he has some nerve calling michael boy man

45. Tres

When you refer to the humanitarian Michael, are you talking about the loving way he dangled his own
child from a balcony? Or is it the gentle nature he showed in referring to Tommy Motolla as a
"racist". And who can forget the kindness he has shown to his many creditors, buy refusing to pay them. Denial is not a river in
Egypt, sir. I'll side with the "bitter hag" over the pedophile any day of the week.
