JAKARTA - The Beatles Bassiss, Paul McCartney expressed his anxiety when the band disbanded in 1970. He had thought of completing his career as a musician for not wanting to take risks.

"There were several times in someone's life when he had to take a risk. After (his disbandment) The Beatles, I was faced with a situation as to whether to continue music or stop it," said Paul McCartney, co-founder of Fab Four.

On the page, Paul McCartney answered the questions raised by fans via Twitter. The matter of his decision to continue playing in the realm of music, said Paul, was carried out with very cooking considerations.

The 80-year-old musician admits that he is not a typical person who dares to take risks and tends to do things to some extent, in contrast to Beatles guitarist John Lennon.

"I weighed a lot and tried to be careful. I was the opposite of John," said Paul McCartney.

If there are cliffs that must be jumped, he said, then John will jump.

"He's the type that throws himself into various things and sometimes I have to save him and say, 'Hey, you shouldn't have done that!' But it's great fun to be with someone with a different personality," McCartney said.

The biggest question that haunted him at that time was whether he would pursue The Beatles' achievements, which he thought were impossible. At that time, McCartney finally made the decision to stay in the music industry.

"After The Beatles are finished, I don't know what to do with myself and try something at risk. Then, having Linda (McCartney) at The Wings who is not a'musician', is also risky," McCartney said.

At that time many people questioned Linda's role in The Wings, which hurt her. Even so, McCartney kept thinking rationally and compared it to the beginning of The Beatles' career when no one knew their songs and then developed into a better band.

"In the early days of The Wings, we decided to return to the starting point like riding a van and playing a small spontaneous small show on campuses, rather than playing on the big stage," he explained.

In fact, Paul's musical career continued to grow after The Beatles disbanded, through solo projects as well as with the bands The Wings and The Fireman.

Apart from Paul McCartney, another Beatles member who is still in the music industry until now is drummer Ringo Starr, who is now 82 years old.
