Isn't it a bit unfair to blame the school for not being able to pick up on Paul McCartney's musical talent as a kid in a class of roundabout 30 students

His argument seems to be that this status quo that you mention is a problem. That we don't have a mechanism for developing human potential. I don't think he is attacking the tpeople working at the schools, more the conditions which don't allow the teacher to find or develop talent.

Now at the risk of getting my head chopped off I would like to note that I would not consider the early Beatles to be clearly musical geniuses. And I would go farther and argue that McCartney is not exceptionally musically talented.

Isn't it a *bit* unfair to blame the school for not being able to pick up on Paul McCartney's musical talent as a kid in a class of roundabout 30 students, in a subject that's not meant to foster child prodigys but to get everyone to get a feel for music and to stimulate their artistic sides by playing instruments, sing and create sounds? Seriously, this talker seems to believe that the arts class should be some sort of talent show for youngsters.
If McCartney hadn't gone to those classes, he might never have had the inclination to play in a band. Who can say for certain what made him go into music? I can tell you this though, the school bloody well didn't supress or ignore him by "not spotting anything".
That music teacher, who "had half the Beatles in his class", most likely had well over a hundred students a year. He/she would have had a strict curriculum stating that all the children would have to preform certain things before each school year was out, like for instance sing a song and play an instrument etc. That's what the music class is for, not spot the most musically gifted students and make popstars of them! And let's not overlook that neither McCartney nor Harrison at that time might've had their musical talent developed to any degree at all.

No, from my perspective it seems as if this talker needs to bring his expectations of teachers to the reality-based world and maybe try teaching gradeschool himself, or just stop talking to think for a second, before creating impossible demands like that.

Is it true that Paul McCartney was in another group before Wings?

Ah. I see...

"Lennon recorded his demo on a small tape recorder, which posed a challenge when Lynne tried to mix it with updated tracks. He was able to use a noise reduction system to improve the sound."
"Paul McCartney did his best John Lennon imitation to help the lead vocal because the recording of John's voice was low and spotty in some places. The lead vocal is actually a John and Paul duet."

Submitted this one instead. Funniest one in my opinion

In reply to this comment by cheesemoo:
Videos that died and were discarded before the deadpool was implemented are fair game for re-posting. Go ahead and submit that if you like. I'll add it to my Weird Al Interviews playlist.

I miss Paul McCartney...
