Twenty years ago, when McCartney turned 50, he remembers his then-manager pushing the idea of retirement. “It’s only right,” he was told. “You really don’t want to go beyond 50, it’s going to get embarrassing.” In June, McCartney will be 70 (“I’m never going to believe I’m 70, I don’t care what you say,” he says. “There’s a little cell in my brain that’s never going to believe that”), and he still has no plans to stop touring or recording. “You get the argument ‘Make way for the young kids,’” he says. “And you think, ‘Fuck that, let them make way for themselves. If they’re better than me, they’ll beat me.’ Foo Fighters don’t have a problem, they’re good. They’ll do their thing.”
Happy 71st birthday Paul McCartney! Read our 2012 cover story on the Beatle’s fresh start.

Just when I feel the panic starting to creep in, I am reminded that there are people who are here to help and take care of me in the moments when I feel I’m not taking good care of myself.

You just used the word “eschewing” in a Tumblr post. I don’t know why you’re even taking a GRE class at this point.
You raise a good point, Bekah. It’s moments like these where I think my striving for perfection actually causes more emotional turmoil and mental exhaustion than it does happiness.

nope. you just get better at sleeping less.
No, Matt, nooooo. I’m not really a fan of that notion right now.

I’m so tempted to skip my GRE class tonight, but I know I need to go and get all of the information I need for this exam. I just want to nap so hard, which is probably a sign that my immune system is faulty again, which will make staying awake and attentive between 6:00-9:30 a challenge. I would normally just stay on campus but I have to run home and look for my GRE workbook, so simply staying there and eschewing class is extra tempting.
I graduated one month ago and I’m still tired. Is this ever going to stop?

"In black culture,” says Rich Nichols, the group’s longtime manager, “It’s difficult to have a point of view that’s not about winning.” The Roots’ lyrics are often political, never materialistic, and generally out of step with mainstream hip-hop.
“The other day I heard the new 2 Chainz record,” says Nichols in Mo’ Meta Blues. “And it’s a fucking object lesson in thematic narrowness, one dumbass idea repeated over and over again. There’s a song called ‘Crack!’ and then a song called ‘Dope Peddler,’ right next to each other. Then a little later there’s a song called ‘I Luv Dem Strippers.’ I’m not knocking 2 Chainz, but what kind of market elevates him like that, at the expense of everything else?"

There is a controversy over the new Kraft ‘Get Zesty’ campaign featuring a shirtless male model. He is also seen almost completely naked with a strategically placed coverup. I think the ad is a little racy, but it’s no more scandalous than what we see on daytime soap operas.
If it gets people to eat more salad, there’s nothing wrong with that.oh god, i read tragically, i totally read “almost completely naked with a tragically placed coverup.”
If Victoria’s Secret can have television ads with women wearing nothing but a bra and panties, I don’t see how this is any more controversial than that.
So, members of the general public get upset over the objectification of a man in everyday advertising, yet no one bats an eye over the objectification of women in advertising. Wow, sexism much? We’re not supposed to ask a man to do what we’ve been expecting women to do for years? Huh, that’s interesting - I thought we were in the 21st century.
“If it gets people to eat more salad, there’s nothing wrong with that.” Yah know, I hope it does get people to eat more salad. Lord knows we don’t need people eating more crap from Hardee’s.

I probably should not have waited to write my Father’s Day letter to my dad in a public place in front of strangers who might see me displaying emotion.
This computer screen is not large enough to hide my misty eyes from these Starbucks employees making lattes.
Good thing I opted to not wear makeup today…
