With so much musical ground covered over the past seven decades, Paul McCartney admitted that these days he has no problem tipping his hat to some of his poppier works from the '70s and '80s: “I think what happens nowadays more than it might have in the past was I'm not trying to avoid any styles that I used in the past. What I would normally do is, 'Oh, no, I've done that.' Y'know, 'I've done that sort of string quartet thing, therefore I should never do it again.' But it didn't bother me after 'Yesterday' to kind of do a stringy thing on 'Eleanor Rigby.'”
