Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty four!

Sir Paul McCartney lived out his lyrics on Sunday, as the former Beatle celebrated his sixty fourth birthday.

The song is one of the more celebrated in the Beatle's archives and seems to have developed a life all to it's own. There is a list of trivia listed on the CTV.ca site about the song, a separate website from France (radio sixty four) devoted to alternate versions of the song and from the BBC a historical look at the Birthday boy himself.

Of course, those who revel in the irony of pop culture can't help but notice that as Sir Paul celebrates the big 64, he has an answer to his question in the last stages of the song. As it turns out when it comes to his second marriage, the answer to being needed and being fed turned out to be a No!

The divorce proceedings between himself and soon to be former wife Heather Mills continue, leaving us with much in the Beatle's song book to go through while that travail goes through to it's final destiny!
