I'm Paul Muldoon, a poet who over the past several years has had the good fortune to record hours of conversations with one of the world's greatest songwriters Sir Paul McCartney reflecting on everything from the Beatles to wings. The result is our new podcast McCartney, a life in lyrics.

This is actually kind of cool.

My mom was nominated at 21 for an Oscar and she found out in Heathrow

I'm a massive Cameron Crow fan. I believe that films should have some kind of feel

goodness about them and we don't see that as much these days I don't think. For example, my wife and I love Weibato Zoo. I love Jerry

McGuire. I love Cameron Croes films. He's absolutely unafraid to be emotional, real, sentimental, nostalgic, all of these sort of like bad words,

you know, sentimentality and nostalgia and all of these things.

You're not supposed to be nostalgic and all of these things.

Things being a little more cynical and people being a little more jaded and people being a little more just kind of rough around the edges or a little more

beaten down by whatever it is and it's proof though that people want to feel that

feeling that you're supposed to get when you watch a film.

Cry, laugh, feel some sense of inspiration.
