Paul McCartney: The Man Who Changed the World Paul McCartney is one of the most recognizable icons since the 60’s. Through his work with “The Beatles,” His solo career, or his works for animal right, he is one man who has changed society as we knew it. “I was born in Walton hospital on 18th June 1942,” (McCartney 2000) in Liverpool, England. In 1953, at the age of 11, Paul started attending the Liverpool Institute. Later on he met George Harrison on a bus ride home. They both attended grammar school rather than attending secondary-modern school. His mother, Mary McCartney, died of an embolism after a mastectomy operation. The tragedy soon made him meet John Lennon, who he too had lost his mother around the same time. Paul’s father gave him a trumpet for him to play, but later on traded it for an acoustic guitar, on which he wrote his first song on. McCartney soon joined John Lennon’s band “The Quarry Men” and created a close bond to Lennon. In 1960, the band officially changed their name to “The Beatles” which from there they became a global icon. After the band’s breakup, Paul McCartney started his solo career with his band “Paul McCartney and Wings.” He has been touring and writing new music ever since.
