Mull of Kintyre was released 40 years ago this week. Mull of Kintyre has always been one of my favorite McCartney songs. It was the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar. I am not a good guitar player at all, but Mull was an easy one.
I hate that Paul never plays this song in concert in the United States (or anywhere but Canada and Scotland, right?) His excuse about how it wasn't a big hit over here is a lame one. Then why does he sing "Silly Love Songs?" That wa his biggest #1 hit in the United States. And why does he sing other songs such as 1985 in concert when that was never a hit song in the United States. Come on Paul --- give us some Mull!
I believe that Mull of Kintyre WOULD receive a lukewarm response in The United States. He did Temporary Secretary last year and the year before that and maybe 6 people (myself included) clapped. I think that HE enjoys performing 1985 (I love it) as well as Let Me Roll It. I missed him doing Junior's Farm and Your Mother Should Know!(MarkZapp)
