It's great that Paul wanted to raise people's spirits after 9/11, and for the time he had to write it, this song isn't terrible. It isn't great however, and it certainly doesn't deserve to make any sort of greatest hits collection. The lyrics are, quite frankly, rather stupid. But I've got to give the guy a break. Most rock & rollers wouldn't even think of doing something like this. Macca did. So he does deserve some credit.
