I guess I've been blocking all of that out. I stand corrected.

The judgment included £35,000 ($70,000) a year for the couple's 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice. Mills said she was unhappy with that amount because it isn't enough for school tuition, private security, or first-class airfare.

"He likes her to fly five times a year on holiday," Mills said of McCartney. "It's £17,000 for two people return (round-trip) first class, so that's obviously not meant to happen for her anymore. It's very sad."

What I read out of that is that Ms. Mills won't use any of her own money to alleviate said sadness. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry - is it really possible to be greedy after receiving 24.3 million pounds? I guess so.

Perhaps I’m taking “All” too literally but I’ve always regarded it as an anti-materialistic message.

I agree as to the anti-materialistic message, but why, when that matches the earlier stuff, would you then call that a newfound economic consciousness?

Seems like you should lump in "All you need is Love" with the earlier works and single out "Money" as indicating a change in position.

This is what I came up with off the top of my head.

Other than “Live and Let Die”, can you recall a post-Beatles hit involving Wings regardless of theme? For that matter, can you recall any other genuine hit involving McCartney between The Beatles and “Ebony & Ivory”?

Actually, while John Lennon earned far more critical acclaim, McCartney had a slew of hits. Billboard:

Out of all the former Beatles, Paul McCartney by far had the most successful solo career, maintaining a constant presence in the British and American charts during the '70s and '80s. In America alone, he had nine number one singles and seven number one albums during the first 12 years of his solo career.

There were quite a few big ones on "Band on the Run" alone.

I’m missing the “economic consciousness” in that lyric…

In "Money," we're told that money's value trumps that of love, which is merely thrilling but doesn't pay the bills. In "Love is All You Need," though, that consideration no longer applies.

In “All You Need Is Love,” written when McCartney and his songwriting partner John Lennon were wealthy and newly married, they inform us that,

There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love.

Presumably, hallucinogenics drugs also contributed to this newfound economic consciousness.

He broke the charts here and there but, really, Wings is mostly a bad dream.
