                                  “ MAYBE NOT, Y ’ KNOW, ”   Paul could relate, for he cared MUCH too passionately what everyone else had to say, despite attempts at persuading himself into believing otherwise – it still got to him. It was a constant uphill battle for him to  IMPRESS  &  VALIDATE  his music by appeasing to the critics that he would come to realize would ALWAYS have something negative to say.  “ Does it matter either way, though, really, I mean – you – you’ve got t ’ accept at one point or another, y ’ know, that you’re not gonna be, how should I say it, LIKED, I guess, y ’ know, by everyone, like –  &  you’re not, just as WE’RE not required t ’ say anythin’ nice t ’ people who haven’t anything nice t ’ say t ’ us, t ‘ you, y ’ know. I’ve always – y ’ know, maybe put a little too much stock in what everyone else has t ’ say, so, if you’re tellin’ me you don’t, then you’re already freer than I. Freer. More free? Oh, sod it. ”
