Paul would be very good at perhaps producing a record. Helping the younger generation out to learn what needs to be done to be a successful musician. But a solo record? Would Gord D. write his lyrics for him? Would his stage presence attract a crowd? Would Paul be the lead guitarist? I made a statement earlier as a joke, but now that I see some are serious, I can't help but wonder what makes anyone think this is a good idea?
Paul is good at what he does. Is he replaceable? I think of all the band members, he would be the easiest to replace. So, as for a solo album, there's just absolutely no way that it would work.
I am a die-hard Hip fan...but when I listen to "She Didn't Know", and I hear Paul come in with "the barrel was loaded", I just can't seem to keep a straight face. Try it. I'm not trying to be mean or hard-headed, but listen to the song and try to keep a straight face. After this, you can decide if the solo career is the way to go.
