General Discussion

What I saw was more about the final Colbert show but had references to his appearance on SNL.

Honestly? I thought, "who the hell do you think you are to criticize someone like Paul McCartney" when I read those posts. He's out there still doing things when he could be home counting his millions like Bezos.

The fact that he stepped up and appeared with Stephen Colbert was iconic. The Ed Sullivan Theater has so much history and meaning.

Anyone who doesn't get it is missing out on a great part of American history - AND the end songs of some very influential and pertinent individuals regardless of their current ages. I am old enough to remember the Beatles and the impact that they made. They changed the American (not just the British) culture. Old foggies at that time were forced to start to take young adults seriously. It was war and havoc and these rockers showed a different way. They changed the course of history, and I will damn well always give them the respect they deserve for doing that.

We have had some significant entertainers since that time, but in my opinion, none have had the degree of impact as those entertainers who got out there and did their stuff in the sixties during the Viet Nam War.

So for all of the detractors who are probably much, much younger - LEARN something and shut up.
