Remember, at the beginning of this year, when Kanye West started working with Paul McCartney and Twitter blew up? If you missed that, it now depends on to which generation you belong, to assume why Twitter blew up.

It wasn’t the announcement itself about two important musicians collaborating, but the fact that a whole generation on Twitter was wondering who this Paul McCartney was and how cool it was of Kanye West to give this unknown guy a break. Yeah well, Paul McCartney always gets by with a little help from his friends…

For many, this Twitter commotion was a very confronting shock that probably represented many things. One being the obvious; there’s a generation that doesn’t seem to know where modern day pop music has its roots. The other being a cold hearted, hard truth; it looks like everything has an expiration date after all. You could be as big as a Beatle and change music forever, work hard for an incredible legacy, but still, at some point, there will be a time that no one really cares anymore. They’ve moved on and that’s scary stuff.
