Anything Prince can do, Paul McCartney can do better. Well, except for wear tights. We'll leave that to the Purple One.Nevertheless, McCartney will give away his latest album, 'Memory Almost Full', in editions of the UK newspaper, Mail on Sunday. Originally released on Starbucks' Hear Music label, the disc will be free to buyers of the May 18 edition of the paper.
In 2007, Prince gave away a copy of his most recent studio album, 'Planet Earth' through a deal with the newspaper. UB40 also gave fans a ten-song sampler of their latest studio album, 'Twentyfourseven,' as a supplement.
In related news, Beatles fans are abuzz over a rumor that Sir McCartney and Ringo Starr might reunite to perform onstage at Liverpool's upcoming Sound City music festival. Macca is set to take the stage for the event, which will celebrate the Beatles' hometown being named 2008's Capital of Culture.
The Liverpool City Council recently granted McCartney's production company $3.4 million to stage the four-day festival, which takes place between May 27-30 at city venues, including the Hard Day's Night Hotel.

I'm sure not even Paul himself thinks he can do a lot of things better than Prince. Maybe he could write better than the shithead who wrote this.

Well, Paul can write songs better, which is all that matters.
