2. "Do we have a picture?"

3. Paul used to think 40 was "too old."

Paul McCartney in 1991 talking about retirement - "i thought 40 is way too old... now coming up to 50, you sort of think '60 is nothing' y'know."

He turns 79 today, "80 is nothing, y'know"

6. It is

Tha’s why I just stuck with 25, 43 years ago.

4. Does Paul use Grecian Formula?

Nearly 80 and no gray.

5. Terrible orange dye job

He should take Richard Here's example and embrace his inner (gray) sage.

Just IMHO.

11. He's been gray for 3 years now.

12. Cool!

I abandoned my hair dye several years ago myself. The white hair is very liberating.

7. More recent pictures show his hair is all or mostly gray

The picture for this article was taken by his photographer daughter, Mary, in 2020.

When I saw this I used google to get a recent photo, but I also found a short clip of a December 2020 song -- where he looks good and his hair is quite gray.

9. "When I'm Sixty-four"

sounds different now.

As does "My Generation."

10. I always get mixed up and think he was born in 1940, like John Lennon was.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Sir Paul!

13. It makes me feel better about the world

knowing that talented man is creating.

I’ve celebrated his birthday every year since I was 11 years old. I invited a few friends over this evening to toast him and wish him a long life.

14. Here's a photo taken by Linda in 1978....
