Paul McCartney doubts dream duet with megastar will occur ‘He makes me nervous’ | Music | Entertainment | EUROtoday
Sir Paul McCartney has been world well-known for over 60 years, frequently performing concert events to 1000’s.
And but, even in any case this time, The Beatles legend nonetheless feels one other dwelling musician makes him nervous, and it’s one he’d like to collaborate with.
Previously answering fan questions on his official web site, one requested Macca: “Is there anyone else you would like to sing a duet with?”
The star replied: “Bob Dylan keeps coming up in my mind, but I don’t know if we’ll ever get round to it.”
This isn’t the primary time McCartney has mentioned this about Dylan lately, having been requested about desired collaborations in a Reddit AMA.
McCartney mentioned then: “I’ve always had a sneaky feeling to collaborate with Bob Dylan, but it’s never happened. It’s intriguing, but…”
It isn’t too stunning that Macca thinks Dylan, whose biopic A Complete Unknown hits cinemas this week, is unlikely to work with him given the Bard’s lifetime of mystique and aloofness. Perhaps it’s this facet of Dylan’s character that makes his 60s up to date nervous of him.
Speaking beforehand with The Penguin Podcast, McCartney shared: “There’s one or two people who I would be nervous of. Bob Dylan would actually make me a little bit like, ‘Oh my God what am I going to say…is it going to be okay, is it going to be good.’”
Macca added: “But I did see him. He did a Coachella, but it was like Old-chella, because it’s like Stones, us, Neil Young…it was older acts. But I got to talk to Bob there and he was really very nice, so I don’t know why I would have been nervous, but you get that with some people.
“It is a funny thing actually when you think about it. What do you have to do, to get secure in yourself? I mean, I would have thought I’ve done enough now to just [go] ’I’m cool. Y’know I don’t need to be nervous of anyone.’ But it’s a human condition, I think. There’s just something, y’know, where you think, ‘Is it good enough, am I good enough, have I done [enough]?’”
