"Why? The truth is I don't really want to set an example to my kids and grandkids. "I don't do it anymore," he told the Mirror in 2015. Sometime in the past few years, however, the "Let Me Roll It" singer hung up his rolling papers. Not McCartney, who remained a loyal consumer of the sticky icky for decades. Okay, so a lot of Baby Boomers smoked herb back in the groovy, far-out '60s, many moved on and stopped partaking of the illegal drug as they got older and evolved into yuppies. The 80-year-old has five children, but who are they READ MORE ON PAUL MCCARTNEY MACC TOGETHER LORD IT BE Heather Eastman McCartney Heather was born on December 31, 1962, and is the daughter of Paul's late wife Linda from a previous marriage. He's called "Got to Get You into My Life" an "ode to pot," for example. Only McCartney was blown away, remarking that pot got him "thinking for the first time, really thinking." As the Beatles' music got more druggy and experimental as the '60s wore on, marijuana explicitly influenced McCartney's songwriting. He thought it was no big deal, as John Lennon sang, "I get high" in their hit "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The lyric is actually "I can't hide," but hey, it would be rude to refuse, so each Beatle tried Dylan's joint. In an August 1964 meeting of minds, Bob Dylan hung out with the Beatles in a New York hotel and casually offered the Fab Four some marijuana. As the world is forever fascinated with anyone who had anything to do with the Beatles, here are some things even Beatlemaniacs or Wingsiacs (is that a thing?) may not know about Sir Paul McCartney. He's also got one of the most recognizable faces (and voices) on the planet, so he attracts attention everywhere he goes, both onstage and off.

While he certainly could have rested on those laurels and just wandered around the world demanding things by saying "I'm the cute Beatle," McCartney stayed curious, productive, innovative, and relevant. After all, he was a freaking Beatle, a member of the most successful and influential rock band ever which changed music forever in the 1960s. Paul McCartney just might be the greatest rock star of all time, if not also one of the most famous and well-liked people who has ever lived.
