This day in music history.

April 17, 1998, Linda McCartney died from breast cancer, at the age of 56. McCartney died at her family's ranch outside of Tucson, Arizona. Her husband, Paul McCartney, said that the success of their long marriage was because they "adored each other." Linda, formerly a magazine photographer, had been a champion for animal rights, and was a vegetarian long before it was fashionable. She and Paul supported many animal rights issues, and she launched a successful line of vegetarian frozen food. She was also a member of Pauls band "Wings". They had three children together, and Linda had a child from a previous marriage. Her husband and children were at her side when she died. Linda once said "If slaughterhouses had glass walls the whole world would be vegetarian".
Maybe I'm Amazed by Wings.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
You hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need ya
Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man, maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby would you help me to understand
Maybe I'm a man
and you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby would you help me to understand
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I need ya
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need ya
Won't you help me to understand
Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man, and you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Won't you help me to understand
