"Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical." ― Paul McCartney Topic(s): Dad More From Paul McCartney "Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I’d rather be out playing." "We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells." "George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money." More In Dad "My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you’re 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere."― Katy Perry "And my dad wanted me to play the trumpet because that’s what he liked. His idol was Louis Armstrong. My dad thought my teeth came together in a way that was perfect for playing the trumpet."― Jackson Browne "If my father had hugged me even once, I’d be an accountant right now."― Ray Romano
