3. I wouldn't even classify it as bubblegum
It sounds like something you'd hear on Barney & Friends, except not as musically sophisticated.

4. I was being generous.
Only because it seems that to those that love him that if you don't love him too, it's like "BURN THE HERETIC, but TORTURE HIM FIRST!!!"

6. Why the WORSHIP though?
I suggested he retire and basically some folks think I pissed on the Pope's grave or something.

I only wish I can live long enough to watch aging "rockers" like him become as obscure as Boy George.

12. Some people like Wayne Newton and Barry Manilow.
Personally I wouldn't be caught DEAD in Las Vegas, but that's just me.

It's the hero worship angle that confuses me. He isn't Jesus or Allah.

I actually dig the song. When I first heard the full track it just kind of... well, it put me in a good mood.

10. This isn't a character defect...
It's just a SONG. We all have our guilty pleasure tunes, even me.

Don't ask.

13. That's nothing to be ashamed about
Music is something that touches each one of personally in different ways. Some people just like to bash the stuff they don't like because they think other people care about their opinions on music..lol.

Enjoy what you like and don't be embarrassed.

17. It isn't good enough to be a crappy song but
if you can stand to watch the video you'll see he's using just four two finger mandolin chords. most of the full chords in the song are physically demanding four finger chords. it is a stroke of genius on Paul's part. plus they're the first four chords most of us struggling mando players master first.
He hit a career low with Mary Had a Little Lamb & Ebony & Ivory.
