Paul McCartney - unknown artist...

 
Paul McCartney Heralded As Unknown Artist by Surprised Kanye West Fans



 
Just because Paul McCartney is one of the biggest rock stars on the planet doesn’t mean all music fans automatically know who he is.
 
For proof, look no further than the response that ‘Only One,’ McCartney’s recently released collaboration with Kanye West, has gotten from a handful of Twitter users who don’t have any idea who the former Beatle is — but are expecting him to get a big leg up in his career now that he’s been given a boost by one of hip-hop’s hottest artists.
 

 
Some folks are predictably pretty upset about this, but it’s the way pop culture has always worked; just because McCartney helped lay the foundation for much of what the kids of today are listening to, that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily going to know it — the same way the millions who bought Beatles or Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin LPs weren’t obligated to research their favorite bands’ influences.
 
Of course, it’s always good to dig a little deeper into the music that moves you, and it probably bears mentioning that it’s never been easier or more affordable to map an artist’s musical DNA (or just, you know, Google “Paul McCartney”). Still, these tweets highlight exactly why McCartney has always been so enthusiastic about branching out into areas like film, television and video games: No matter how big you are, there’s always a new audience for you. Clearly, McCartney’s just found another one.

Wasn't he in that ''quite good little rock 'n roll band'' (sic) that split up 45 years ago?
 
Maybe I'm amazed they haven't heard of him...

Come on James.  Don't Let Me Down.
 
Kayne is a big name in the biz and these fans obviously know what they're talkin' about.
 
Let it Be.

So Kanye and Macca came together?

Freddie King?
What's his thing?
(according to Grand Funk Railroad)

What bugs me is that people are using this amazing tool which could give them access to virtually all human knowledge to proudly claim their ignorance. All they had to do was use Google instead of Tweeter.
 
But if they had a clue about anything, they probably wouldn't have half as much to tweet and comment about... Not to mention that Kanye West wouldn't have fans.
 
 

Or tongue in cheek?
 

Watchit now...I know Sweet Sweet Connie personally. And Mark Farner was not lyin, junior.

Nawlens Jazz I presume.

It looks like Mensa has a new batch of recruits on their hands. 
 
(sigh)
 
We don't have to worry about a zombie apocalypse. Zombies eat brains. Obviously, they'll starve. (Is there a link I can click to give up on Humanity?)

How seriously is Mensa taken these days anyways? I met a Mensa person and they are intelligent, but the scope of knowledge has grown so vast with the internet that I think a single organization can't hold all of the best intelligence in the world.
 
IQ tests are biased anyways.

The first (and last) time I watched Mr. West perform, it was some live TV show. The engineer forgot (I'm giving him the benefit of doubt) to turn off the Autotune at the end of the song, causing Kanye's witty remarks to the audience to sound like, well, use your imagination. 

Ah that explains it,  I always come last in most races.

Did someone mention Wagner??
