Paul McCartney
Mat Snow, MOJO, November 1995
WHATEVER PAUL McCARTNEY is on in 1995, they should dump it in the water supply. Talcum-pink of complexion and trim of figure, only a curious russet tinge to the hair on both his head and, more curiously still, his forearms hints at his 53 years. Otherwise he retains the legendary combination of old school self-promotion and unflappable professional pride.
