Paul McCartney

Hi and welcome to Wednesday WickednessWe are like other memes in that we will ask you ten questions each and every Wednesday.

Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked Paul McCartney. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!

7. “Think globally, act locally.” Do you do anything to help your local community?

8. “When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around.

I could drive myself!” Have you ever had a period where you felt that you were set financially?

9. “Lyricists play with words.” Do you think what you write on your blog is clever or just ordinary and why?
