Definitely agree, that song is awesome. I really like to listen to it in March while I'm waiting for spring to come :)

My favorite Beatles song though is probably "Let It Be"!

That seems a bit nitpicky to me. He still had "Paul McCartney" as his name, he just decided to go by his middle name instead of his first. In contrast, Ringo Starr's birth name was completely different from the name he is famous for. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll leave it as is.

Agree. McCartney also played the drums including on some recorded Beatles tracks but no one is suggesting that's the answer to "he played the drums"
