Will you still need me when I am 64

Sir Paul McCartney should have read Life without a white pickett fence before he married Heather Mills. Now divorce lies ahead for the separated couple. This marriage was a perfect example of the wrong woman marrying the right man. No woman ever seems good enough for our heroes. Paul McCartney is not just a man nor even a musical genius, he is a figure in our psyche. He is a figure for the hopes and dreams of the entire baby boomer generation.
Sir Paul was almost 60 and Heather was 34 when they got married. I am a big fan of a younger much younger woman in a marriage but any way you look at this union it says young beautiful blond marries rich, famous , older, family man along with warning signs attached that read gold digger-publicity seeker-children from the first marriage horrified-wicked stepmother- etc,etc.
What was Paul thinking? Was he even thinking at all? Who wants a one legged gold digger anyway! Paul sure did because he stood up and said " I DO " and those two words are going to cost him at least $500 million. Paul have you forgotten the words you wrote over forty years ago?
When I get older, losing my hair many years from now
Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I am 64
John Lennon's words about life sums up the divorce of Paul and Heather perfectly.
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I am half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday.
