Junior, I sent what you said here:
Just my opinion: When two people are passionate about anything causes, distress, tragedy, etc., there is a connection which often times gets mistaken for love/ soulmates, etc. To Wit: When Christie Brinkley and that Real Estate magnate from Telluride got into that helicopter crash, they were instantly bonded by an absolutely unique circumstance, felt close because only they could understand what they went through, and decided it was love. She left Billy Joel, and her marriage to this guy lasted 8 months because the only thing they really had in common was this helicopter crash. Paul will never get over Linda. Ever. He found in Heather someone that shared the same passion for the rights of animals, the land-mine cause, etc., and in the mean time, probably had some laughs, made love, felt close and on and on. They didn't have much time for passion. They were always on planes, going here, going there, interviewing, etc. They never had time to get to know each other and sooner or later, that bond you started out with is going to wear thinner and thinner- there just aren't enough hours in the day. They had two choices-sit in a room or go out where the papparazzi is going to follow your every move. This marriage didn't stand a chance. It's just another example of how you can't do anything out of passion, because passion will f*** you up, but we mere mortals will never experience the esoteric and unique position they were/are in. I feel bad for both of them. They both, no doubt, care and love one another, I don't know if they were ever in love, but I'm sure they loved each other. She grew alot in the past 5 years or however long they've known each other, but they just had no hope. Whatever she ends up with, she will be fine, and so will Paul, he's not about to go broke. I don't think she's a loser or a a gold-digger, she just ended up with a guy. A famous guy. And she didn't even know his music. Paul will carry a torch for the rest of his life, and let's just hope he doesn't end up getting married 50 times trying to find Linda.
To a friend of mine. He thinks it was well-written and sort of profound.
I can't help but understand a lot of these sentiments. Paul McCartney was a man who could have probably gotten any woman he desired, but he was able to stick with one, without any significant marital problems. The rest of the Beatles had been divorced once with somebody, but he carried a torch for a long time as the one Beatles who was able to have an excellent marriage with someone he carried deeply about, and only one marriage (until now, of course). I'm no expert on love and marriage by any stretch, but it would make sense that, after an experience such as that, one would long for another woman such as Linda.
