      The real Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by Billy. Billy probably has difficulty signing with his left hand and making it look like Paul McCartney's signature. Maybe he does those type of signatures in his home, etc. with his right hand. Also, Billy knows that he was not in the Beatles when the album Phil wanted him to sign was recorded. Maybe if Phil had asked Billy to sign an album from Sgt. Peppers on or a Wings album or a Paul McCartney (Billy) solo album, the response might have been different.

What matters though is the song wouldn’t be the influential song it is today with Paul

If you compare them side by side they don't differ that much, if any in the sonic content of the song so is not like Phil recomposed it, he merely made a cover trying to bring the same elements in his way.

The one legged blonde, Heather Mills claims that Paul McCartney regularly beat the plain looking Linda Eastern daily through out their long marriage. If you look back at the many clips and photographs of Linda McCartney over the years, you can clearly see she was an abused, tormented woman that was forced to endure unspeakable violence, behind closed doors.

    Never meet your heroes. When they turn out to be asses not only to you lose someone who inspires you but you feel like an idiot for having looked up to them in the first place. Phil probably doesn't want Paul's autograph anymore. And, the thing is that it is an impossible situation for Paul. I'm sure Paul didn't mean anything by it but such a moment to a fan is so amplified, whether it is Phil Collins or any of us, that it is easy to overreact. However, that is just as bad because when you lionize people it becomes disappointing when you realize they are mere mortals just like you are.

Maybe Phil didn't stop to think that signing an autograph was the last thing he wanted to do, especially on an album from that long ago from better days when his other " brothers" were alive and they were all getting along. I can only imagine the emotional traumas Paul deals with from the past, the strain of always being in the public eye, people wanting autographs.

But stepping back and hearing the reaction... It's painfully clear to me what happened and why it's actually a very tragic set of circumstances... It was Paul... Whether anyone from outside could ever really understand, the break up of the Beatles for Paul - turned that side of Paul's life - into sharp moments of pain and anger... In hindsight, had anyone advised Phil to NOT introduce the book... Things from that point on... Would be different, for sure... Because Phil was hit by a reaction to things he was never apart of... Paul wasn't able process the matter to begin with, which is the wrench from very start... Things... Control to much... Shapes from the present shaped by the past that in turn shape the future... Locking hurt both in and away... Which is how this chance event sparked like it did...

      Yes, and Paul was married to the bitch Heather Mills at the time. He dealt with depression after the Beatles broke up and Linda pulled him out of it. When she died, he again fell into a deep depression. He fell for Heather because he was really vulnerable. Even though Stella warned him (and probably his other kids) that she was bad news, he married her anyway. Some men just cannot be alone. I've seen it happen more often with guys than women. Guys don't have the larger support network women do, for the most part. I hate to generalize but it is something I've seen over my six decades on this Earth. Paul was in a bad mood, obviously. Phil should forgive and try to forget because grudges just hurt the one holding them.

      Phil Collins is not tall, though, so he may be self-conscious about his height.

      @@dhenderson1810 Yes, I guess that really bothers a man. My best childhood friend was obese, his story told a tremendous injury. I just don't see Paul as a cruel guy. It could as easily ment "I remember when you started and now we're (aren't they?) shoulder to shoulder. Maybe Phil was expecting some specific reaction he didn't get. Up till then Paul had been a hero. I know how my Uncle John was. Never meet your heroes. Not until you're ready.

    I am thinking that sometime in the past, Cheesy Phil slighted Paul or the Beatles and when the time came to return McCartney put him in his place ten fold. Thanks Paul.

    No misunderstanding. I have a McCartney diary for Q magazine written by himself in which he is equally rude and swears against the Bee Gees and Barry Gibb, who had nothing but praise ever.
    He also demanded Mick Jagger only came to his house, never other way around. He is a manipulative narcissist.

      @@B.R.0101 Not really. I bought Band on the Run and Venus and Mars and didn't really like anything on them. Never bought any of his again; certainly not the dirge Mull of Kintyre and couldn't really drum up any excitement about We All Stand Together. Those two he did with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder were dire. So, no, I didn't think much of his non-Beatle stuff.

    Phil Collins always reminded me of the little guy with the swirl on the front of the Campbell Soup can. I think Paul was totally joking, Maybe he was channeling his John Lennon response either or I think Phil Collins overreacted just a little bit.

    I would think Phil Collins would have less of an interest in getting an autograph than the average person.
