We're watching the Sondheim musical. And discussing the economy. Things are still good, we stopped buying Starbucks or eating out years ago.
I'm also reading about how Paul McCartney either was - or wasn't - from birth, a bass player. Stu Sutcliffe was the original bass player for the Beatles - but they weren't really "The Beatles" then, IYKWIM. When Stu was unable to get himself back from Berlin, the Beatles knew that "someone" had to play the bass. This shows their musical genius (collectively, I guess, although the story is told as a conversation between George and John). "Not me!" says John. "And certainly not me!" says George.
And so Paul ended up the bass player. I don't see how this means that he was "born" to be a bass player.
I believe he invented an entirely new form of bass playing, hence, "The Beatles" as we know them.
Still some authors contend that Paul was "born" to be a bass player.
I thank Ogs that Paul became a bass player, don't you?
