I think a lot of people are over reacting. Paul just threw out Gord's name as a reference. On one side you have the "N" word over and over and on the other side, "safe" music. Pare it down even further, you have "white" vs. "black" music. Let's face it. I know many black folks in their mid to later 50's and none ever heard of Gord. So Paul took the bait and became defensive and grabbed the whitest artist he could think of. Big deal. I have all the Beatles albums, all Gord's albums, but never thought to buy a McCartney album. Just sayin'.....
