ポール・マッカートニー現実の６４歳に
「♪６４歳になっても僕を必要とし、僕を養ってくれるかい」と１６歳のときから歌っているポール・マッカートニーが本当に６４歳になった。
先月離婚を公表したポール自身にこの歌は酷であるかもしれない。
１６歳のときに６４歳のことを想像するのは不可能であったであろう。彼自身は自分が有名人になることすら想定していなかったと思う。
しかし、必要としてくれる人はいなくなるのかもしれないが、使い切れないお金も持っている。
どちらが大切なのかは判らないが、少なくとも、３９歳のこのワタクシにはどちらもない。。。

Paul McCartney Turns 64
Momentous Celebration Tempered By Nasty Divorce
UPDATED: 7:16 am PDT June 19, 2006
Remember how Paul McCartney sang, "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?" McCartney found out Sunday when he turned that age.
The legendary musician wrote in the "Beatles Anthology" that he actually wrote "When I'm Sixty-Four" when he was 16, hoping maybe someday he'd get a career in musical comedy and be able to use that song.
John Lennon was quoted in the "Anthology" as saying The Beatles would sing that song around the piano in their Cavern Club days when they burned out their amps.
The two musicians eventually shared song credit for the tune.
George Martin wrote in the "Anthology" that it was a dreadful mistake not to put "When I'm Sixty-Four" as the B-side to either "Strawberry Fields Forever" or "Penny Lane."
McCartney's kids told him in the fall that he should lie low because of all the awful media references that will come out for this birthday.
McCartney is going through a divorce with Heather Mills McCartney that's being dragged through the British tabloids.
However, he's still known as rock's first billionaire and his tour was one of the top-grossing concert series of 2005.
Nicknamed "Macca," the rocker was born James Paul McCartney on June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, Merseyside, England.
McCartney had four children with his wife, Linda Eastman, whom he was married to from 1969 to her death in 1998.
McCartney married Mills in 2002, and they had a daughter in 2003.
Mills and McCartney announced their separation last month.

マッカートニーさん６４歳に 自作とは異なる人生
【ロンドン１８日共同】ビートルズの名曲「ホエン・アイム・シックスティー・フォー（６４歳になっても）」を作詞作曲した元メンバーのポール・マッカートニーさんが１８日、６４歳の誕生日を迎えた。
「６４歳になっても僕を必要とし、僕を養ってくれるかい」－。愛する女性との将来のつましい生活を想像しながら永遠の愛を誓うのがこの曲の特徴。
しかしマッカートニーさんは先月中旬、２人目の妻で、地雷廃止運動家のヘザーさん（３８）との離婚を発表しており、実際の人生はこの曲のようにはいかなかったようだ。
