Note from Keno: It's all up here now, sorry about the posting problems, but whenever they happen, just send them in to me and I'll get the post fixed for you... or anybody! So, here is the full post/reply from Shattered:
I agree with you about the songs, especially BITUSSR.
It's the kind of MEDIA attention that Mick, and John, were getting that Paul WASN'T and that's why I think Paul maintained that "early-Beatle-heartthrob" image.
Examples of media coverage == John & Yoko's two-week long "Bed-In for Peace", and John's immigration problems in '73, his controversial lyrics, and that ridiculous 'Beatles more popular than Jesus' quote that was so blown out of proportion -(they actually WERE more popular at that time.)
Mick had his share of controversy, like when he (& Keith) was jailed, drug busts, and Altamont, to name a few.
OK Paul was busted for pot in Japan, but that didn't tarnish his image.
Basically, Paul gets treated differently because he stayed out of controversy and bad headlines for the most part and therefore people's reactions to him are similar to his early Beatles days.
