Some of the people in their 30s might remember that he was on Thriller. Maybe. But that would be essentially their only reference for him. This does not make them bad or stupid people. McCartney and the Beatles were never relevant to their lives or to the lives of the people they grew up around or to the larger Black community in general. Especially for those born in the 80s and 90s.
I fail to understand how people don't seem to be able to grasp this...
