On its face, if anyone has a right to be an arrogant jerk, it’s Paul McCartney; after all, he is a musical genius–one in a hundred billion, maybe. And yet, by all accounts, he’s not one. Why? Because he finds it inexplicable that an otherwise unremarkable lad from Liverpool was given an unbelievably rare gift, and some of his lyrics suggest he believes he channels music from the other side. That will make you humble really fast.
Compare this with Donald Trump, who thinks his unfortunate ability to mobilize a dissatisfied element of society gives him the right to bring chaos and destruction to the entire world. Not exactly the same thing at all.
