James' biggest problem (beyond lack of musical talent) is pops is still alive.
Julian, Sean, and Dhani all came on the music scene after their begetter Beatles became belated. (Zak Starkey seems to be the only offspring of a still-living Beatle to achieve musical success. Most likely because he never (AFAIK) tried to sell himself as a headliner, and just tried to become established as a competent drummer.)
I was going to suggest that James might have had the chance for more success if he had used a pseudonym while trying to get established.
But, with antiram's avatard staring at me in face while I type this, the man was fucking doomed from the get-go.

Agreed. If he'd blacked up and tried to make it on the UK grime scene, he couldn't have done any worse than he's doing now.

What the fuck?
James still looks like a mong playing the keyboards though.
Not sure how this happened.
Possible explanations
1. The Cure have lost the plot
2. The Cure never had the plot
3. The Cure have the plot and just wanted to take the piss out of James in the flesh.
4. Daddy McCartney gave another backhander
5. James is an expert at blackmail

I also had no idea this loser existed, I thought too that Antiram’s pic was some kind of face swap app making an uglier Macca. Good call on the similarity to Corkey!

If one is a pop musician and everybody says "I never heard of him" and "I thought his face was just a horribly manipulated Paul image", one needs a new publicist at least, if not a better stylist.

I think you should contact him and offer your services. I do feel like I have helped put him on the map. I probably could not do a worse job than whoever is masterminding his career now. |

No stylist can do anything about his perpetual clamminess. What's left of his scraggly thinning hair is permanently plastered to his sweaty forehead. I would suggest the following: 1) Embrace and accentuate your junkie sweat-soaked image. It's the real you. 2) Your uncle Mike wisely changed his name to Mike McGear back in the Beatlemania days. So too should you consider a name change, such as 3) Jimmy Mac. 4) And title your next album Jimmy Mac Likes Smack. Because it is obvious that you do. 5) Distance yourself as far as possible from your dad and his legacy. Become the anti-Macca. Gorge on raw hamburger meat onstage. This just might be the beginning of an actual career. Fuck heather mills onstage while eating fried chicken |

Collaborate with Father Time to make songs slightly memorable.

Disown Paul and let Ringo adopt you.
Take up practicing more, become the guitar version of Zak. A pretty good musician.

The other Macca spawn have all turned out all right. Maybe Ringo could help him with PR a bit though. Under his tutelage, he could put out a video: "No interviews, please!" |

I just got curious to see what ole James has been up to. I wondered if he might be touring the States again this year, or playing at a pub near his dad's house, or finishing up a new album, or planning a new Beatles kids band, or wandering around town in the company of a woman, or whatever it is that a man of his stature would be doing.
So, the latest update is...nothing. Nada. According to Google news, not one word has been written about him (except here at Stereo Central) in nearly a year. It is pretty rare for a musician with an album, EP, BBC appearance, and TV morning show exposure to vanish so completely, literally without a single fucking trace. It is pretty hard to do that. You really have to be nobody.
It is possible that he was so humiliated by the general apathy that met his apathetic performances and record that he is cowering under his bed Brian Wilson-style. It is also possible that his family had him murdered and buried in the garden, but nobody has noticed yet. I fear it is also possible that he may be dancing the waltz with Henry the Horse, if you get my drugs...I mean, drift...
Anyway, a pretty good vanishing act. I'll keep you posted if he is sighted in the next few years.

There's got to be a strong likelihood of him re-emerging as a woman. He seems so horribly uncomfortable with the reality of who he was born as.
