I know how difficult it is “being the Paul” of the band. A responsibility i’ve shouldered for almost 20 years.

Ah, being "the Paul!"
Does that entail:
A.) Being the only one in your group who doesn't think that writing and performing new music on a regular basis is too much work, or
B.) Hanging tough when the gang all thinks your music has turned to shit?
Either way, even McCartney didn't "carry that weight" for 20 years. Heh.

Maybe Kim sued the rest of his band?

I know what he means and I've been there too. Of course, it was just me insisting the other guys do a song one last time since we just worked up an arrangement for it (if you could call it that.) Fucking glad I did too, since we never worked on the song again and we'd never have cut a version with the new section.
(Actually, I had to convince them to do it twice since the first version got extra sloppy at one point. So did the second version, but at a different point so I was able to, albeit crudely, edit them together.)

Somewhere there is a forum making fun of that song.

Alas, I just don't have enough music stands to compete.

I freely admit I am a "Paul" when it comes to my own music, which is why I'm honest enough that even if I wanted to start a band again I'd play it all myself on the records anyway- my songs, my artistic vision, don't fuck with it. When it's an actual songwriting collective, like a couple of the bands I've played in, that's different, then everybody comes up with their own part and credit is divided equally.

So, you're more often in a Father Time situation than a Negative Tendencies guy.

Who is Kim Olesen? Is he the Danish Steve Hoffman? i.e. someone not that significant that we are 'supposed to' know about?

Being the "Paul" of the band. Does that mean as you grow older, you start to resemble Angela Lansbury?
