The other bloke that kept popping up in the video is an inconsequential nobody.
@vale make sure you stick around this place, your posts are insightful and entertaining.
Let me get that for you....
"Paul McCartney has supported the following charities listed on this site:
And now hopefully back to our regular programming...
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Paul is excellent in that clip but every time Corden tries to join in it's like he doesn't really understand music that well, not in a snobby way, just that music doesn't seem to be that big a deal for him. Like most commercial radio DJs, he likes the stuff everyone likes but isn't absolutely passionate about music.
I'd rather see a really funny or down to earth comedian/musician meet these musicians.
Ronnie Biggs and the like perhaps, but writing lucrative happy pop songs that are loved my millions seems to be quite a peaceful career by comparison.

his basic principle being that if a charity he considers worthwhile needs £1m then he will happily contribute 50% or 75% etc, but always leave an achievable sum unfufilled to encourage the charity & local community to pull together to support a service they consider important to them.
he then provides that charity with the fundraising people & resources & know how they need to help them generate the remainder as quickly & effectively as possible. empowering & facilitating their community-centred mission, rather than just buying the problem off wholesale.
but he is ideologically against the idea of spoon-feeding the entire sum total to a given cause on day one, because he feels that will make people feel they (on an individual responsibility level) don't have to get up off their arses & put their energy & money into those things they say they care about.
i think that's generous, fair & wise. it both gets the money in & catalyses & supports real community spirit.
anyway, he donated £1m to save one of our local hospitals in 1995, which in today's prices would be a lot more. not in the list of charities above but another among his many causes.

Bizarre how some people can find the negative in anything....
