Mister Mccartney's Bad Grammar

From solo artist, to way back in his days with the Fab Four, the public adores Mr. McCartney, and always comes back for more. He has to be the most successful British subject from Liverpool. Two or three generations have found his music to be cool. After his Beatles days were over, he formed his own group called “Wings”. Paul uses some bad grammar in one of the songs he sings. We hear, “but in this ever-changing world in which we live in” in the song. Paul should know that the last “in” does not belong. That came from the theme song to the movie “Live and Let Die”. Success in record sales was something nobody could deny. As far as good grammar goes, I don’t think he would care. So many of his compositions have been heard over the air. Paul has avoided retirement, and maintains his popularity. In concert, he is still one of the more entertaining acts to see.

We all do that in our writing..He might have been trying to fit it to a number of beats or just did not catch it in his writing and that it was..Great work about the popular singer..Thanks for the visits to my page..Yes, spring wherefore art thou? I do enjoy reading John's books in the Bible..I like to make John 3:16 personal by saying for God so loved (my name)..Sara

it's so funny that you wrote this poem because that line has always driven me crazy. all he had to do was change it to "but in this ever-changing world in which we're living" it would have made sense. every time i hear the song, i hope that he'll really be singing it that way, but he never is! i thoroughly enjoyed your poem!
