Paul McCartney 3

Everyone respects him so much from the Beatles days, and I completely understand that; but now it's like the king's new clothes. Nobody wants to say that his music is really weak. 
I've been there since the beginning of the Beatles, and I have no problem whatsoever with an artist exploring new sounds and changing styles; but to me, even the best of the Wings era was sort of silly and childish. Even the lyrics were embarrassing. But like I said, in the name of his past accomplishments, a lot of people feel bad about admitting that.

Admittedly? I think you misused that word, but I'll assume that you mean that everyone agrees that he's the greatest, in which case I think many if not most will disagree; myself among them. 
Anyway, past acheivments have nothing to do with his latest work. Like one of my old bosses used to say, "Yesterday's peacock is tomorrow's feather duster."
