yeh I know...who hasn't done a covers album...
but im looking at from the perspective of like McCarntey those guys do get a lot of youngsters as their gigs (grandparents bringing grandchildren etc),
maybe some of those kids will actually appreciate their music and maybe some of those will look into their influences and maybe delve deeper into real music
and this album would at least give them an easy passage to discovering the "golden oldies" from decades ago, thus, the music will still live on for another generation.
that single sounds like they are enjoying themselves in the studio, no pressure, no stress, just letting their hair down and jamming pretty tight!,
and after being around for as long as they have I think they've earned the right to record what they want, when they want...
im not a big an of The Stones by any means, but to me, their longevity and continued success deserves so much respect.
same goes for McCartney, his last album , "new", was a bit experimental, as he tried to update and make himself relevant to the youth of today...
a hated the album with a passion and im a huge fan, but it is hard to knock a guy who is still trying to reinvent himself, when he doesn't have to,
he could have retired on the royalties from one of any number of songs he has written over the 50+ years and toured singing the same dozen tunes
over and over again, but he is still out there, cudo's to him too IMO, (and theres a lot of others who are doing the same, so no, hes not entirely unique
in that respect).
