Paul McCartney Wants To Collaborate With Bob Dylan

Paul McCartney wants to collaborate with Bob Dylan on new music, because he's such a fan of the influential singer-songwriter.
"Bob Dylan would be lovely, because I admire him," Macca tells Absolute Radio's Geoff Lloyd. "And I was thinking the other day maybe David Byrne, because I like him too."
McCartney will soon be releasing new experimental album 'Electric Arguments' under the alias of The Fireman (a collaboration with producer Youth), and he explained how some of the lyrics were made up on the spot.
"We went in the studio and we just started to do something different, and because the other two albums had always been on the one chord, like Indian music, we decided we'd stick a couple of other chords in, so it went in a completely different direction."
"Then it kind of seemed like it might need vocals and words, so I said 'But I haven't got any songs', and therefore no words or melodies or anything."
"So at the risk of humiliation and compete and utter degradation, I went in through the mic and listened to the track that we'd made, and I just started making it up, yes."
