NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - Paul McCartney can now add one more
honor to the numerous awards, accolades and the knighthood he has
already received.
The ex-Beatle on Monday was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music
degree from Yale University.
In granting the honorary degree to McCartney - Sir Paul
McCartney since he was knighted in 1996 - the university said no
one compares with the legendary songwriter.
Yale said the 65-year-old McCartney awakened a generation,
giving a fresh sound to rock, roll, rhythm and blues.
Yale also conferred honorary degrees on former U.S. Trade
Representative Carla Hills, astronomer Martin Rees, architect Cesar
Pelli, poet John Lawrence Ashbery and others.
