Paul McCartney at 64: Unneeded, Unfed
ISLE OF WIGHT - Pop music legend Paul McCartney turns 64 on Sunday, and his situation is fairly grim, sources tell BunkoSquad.
With his separation from second wife Heather Mills, and the piracy of his music online, McCartney has reportedly had to "scrimp and save" just to afford his yearly retreat to this island. Instead of crafting such memorable tunes as "Band on the Run" and "Listen to What the Man Said", the former Beatle now spends much of his time mending fuses and digging weeds.
"We knew it was his birthday," said his granddaughter Vera. "But the fact is, granddad was out 'til quarter to three. We stayed up as long as we could, but we had to lock the door." "He's a grown man", added younger grandson Dave. "We're not attached to his knee anymore."
In a prepared statement, Mills offered no apologies for leaving the musician on his own. "To me, being in the rock world means parties and world travel. He preferred to sit around and watch me knitting sweaters by the fireside. And he kept saying, 'You'll be older too!' Who can put up with that? Plus he's losing his hair."
Mills couldn't be reached for direct comment, but a spokesman confirmed that she would be sending McCartney neither birthday greetings nor a bottle of wine.

Very clever.
BTW, if you have his address on the Isle of Wight, let us know - some of us might want to send him birthday greetings and a bottle of wine. Or at least a Valentine next year.
