Paul McCartney says musicians today are expected to perform much longer concerts than the Beatles did in the 1960s, and he appears to blame Bruce Springsteen for it. "These days it’s pretty much the main act and there might be a warmup act," McCartney recently told Conan O’Brien on his "Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend" podcast. Sir Paul said "nobody" did long sets during the Beatles' time because there were so many other acts in a show. "Now, people do three, four hours. I blame Bruce Springsteen.

"Now I have to do it," he joked of setting the precedent for long concerts. McCartney also admitted recently he considered leaving music behind after the Beatles broke up in 1970. "The main question I had was whether to keep going after the Beatles because it was a hard act — some might say, an

Associated Press.The push for the amendment appears to be motivated by the idea that the conservative U.S. Supreme Court may one day reverse its own precedent and overturn its previous decisions allowing marriage equality, meaning any state bans still on the books would immediately become enforceable.While Democrats have long vilified the voter-approved ban, they could have moved sooner to repeal it at any point within the past decade.However, the Supreme Court’s recent lurch rightward on several social issues — following the confirmation of three conservative justices nominated by former President Donald Trump — appears to have led some on the political Left to take a more proactive approach by repealing the ban outright rather than relying on court decisions.“What we are doing today is joyous,” Sen.

Paul McCartney befuddled Beatles fans last month when he announced the band would be releasing a record featuring the late John Lennon, with the help of artificial intelligence. "When we came to make what will be the last Beatles record it was a demo that John had – that we worked on and we just finished it up – it'll be released this year. We were able to take John's voice and get it pure through this AI so that then we could mix the record as you would normally do," he told BBC Radio 4's Today show.

Paul McCartney has said that he “blames” Bruce Springsteen for increasingly long stage times.The 81-year-old former Beatle was speaking during an episode of Conan O’Brien’s ‘Needs A Friend’ podcast when he reflected on the increasingly extensive sets that artists are expected to play — and said that Springsteen was to blame.According to the bassist, songwriter and singer, it was The Boss who began the trend of performing mammoth sets that go on for hours, which made it impossible to get away with shorter sets. He also explained that The Beatles would often only play for 30 minutes during their ’60s heyday, and this was never an issue with fans.“These days, pretty much there’s the main act and there might be a warm-up act,” he began.

little help from AI — but just a little.Paul McCartney has responded to the speculation about the use of artificial intelligence in the Beatles’ upcoming song.McCartney, 81, told the BBC that “the final Beatles album” will be released later this year — using AI technology to “extricate” John Lennon’s voice from a previously unheard track.“It was a demo that John had that we worked on, and we just finished it up, it’ll be released this year,” he said in his initial announcement on June 12. “We were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI, so then we could mix the record as you would normally do.”With AI being at the center of much concern and debate, many fans jumped to conclusions and assumed that the technology was being used to generate fabricated vocals from the late Lennon.McCartney took to social media to ensure his fans that nothing was fabricated.“Been great to see such an exciting response to our forthcoming Beatles project. No one is more excited than us to be sharing something with you later in the year,” he tweeted.“We’ve seen some confusion and speculation about it.
