well if you are 10-13 you arent REALLY gonna know who he is are you, he isnt a big artist in todays sense, more an old legend like whitney and diana ross. Its not silly at all, seeing as really young people use twitter and i mean young teens.
dont stress. |

its not good music, merely everyone banging on about the beatles for nearly 60 years. So people are BOUND to remember them because people never shut up about them!

The Beatles, in my opinion, are part of our cultural heritage. The fact people don't know who Paul McCartney is astounds me. Seriously, I wasn't even a fan of the Beatles until I was about 13 but I've known the name of all the members and plenty of their songs for as long as I can remember knowing anything.

my dad is a huge fans of the beatles. so me and brother were brought up with their music on around the house. i gave my brother a lift home at christmas and my nephew (aged 7) was singing along to `hey jude`. while my niece (aged 3) was clapping her hands!
their music is timeless. |

What is not good music? I hope you are not saying that The Beatles music is not good. actually it is nearly 50 years not 60 but you just have to ask yourself why have people been going on about them for that long and why has their music lasted for 50years. Because It Is the best is the answer. |

It doesn't surprise me at all that some young kids don't know who Paul McCartney is, especially if they're from the US.

I've only heard like 6 songs from The Beatles, 3 from John Lennon and 4 from Paul McCartney, but at least I know who they are.

Not really. Im no fan but people keep going on about it. People go on about abba and bananarama but it doesnt make it good, music tastes are subjective. Personally i think its naff, but its up to you how you spend your money. Just because people say something doesnt make it right.
