SweetVirginia Without John Lemon, who would have inspired Bono to be such a condescending, self-important gasbag?

Bloozehound See it all boils down to the Hot ass vs Saggy ass theory

Hot ass wins

steel driving hammer Of course, even this Beatlephobe cannot deny their incalculable cultural significance: they wrote their own songs before the Stones did and gave the world the bowl cut. They are feted for their lyrics. But for every In My Life, there's I Am The Walrus: "You've been a naughty girl, you've let yer knickers down". Poetry? Not really.

When I think of the great moments of pop history, the Drab Four were not around. They didn't turn up at Live Aid or on the Anarchy Tour, and their chief influence on acid house was to provide a toe-curling hit for Candyflip. They did, however, pen a number one hit for Gareth Gates in 2002.

The Beatles are what they always were - the safe, money-spinning, housewives' choice. Their albums are easy listening (fine for 50-somethings, but the Beatles were cardigan-wearing duffers in their 20s). Sgt. Pepper, their much-trumpeted "psychedelic" album was as mindbending as an Asda mushroom pie. Give or take Helter Skelter, they never even rocked, really. Next to the Stones, the Who or the Troggs, the Beatles are the low alcohol lager of the 60s.

Of course, you're not supposed to say this. Do and they'll burn you in the street. When I once casually mentioned in a feature for Melody Maker that Oasis were better than the Beatles, the postbag bulged for months. Karl Wallinger - who penned the Fab-alike She's The One for Robbie Williams - howled on Radio One in outrage. Like Michael Jackson-worshippers and Cliff stalkers, Beatles fans refuse to confront the notion that their heroes could be flawed. But is the fact that their fanbase includes Mark Chapman, Michael Jackson and Mike Read not enough to put anyone off?

Like Christmas, Beatlemania is now a vast and increasingly meaningless business run by ageing Fab fans. The record industry is in such trouble that it relies on endless repackages of Eleanor Rigby. Let It Be... Naked might not be the end. Next could be Rubber Soul... Naked. One day, we might even be confronted with Paul McCartney naked. To move on, pop must rid itself of this whistling, thumb-raising cancer. Oasis and the Rutles aside, the list of great bands inspired by the Beatles is not long, yet they continue to exert a stranglehold, pumped out of taxis, covered on Pop Idol, even appearing on the cover of last week's NME.

The line we're always pummelled with is that they set the standard for great songwriting. Yes, Strawberry Fields Forever and Hey Jude are marvellous. But if I ponder the rest - especially Yellow Submarine or Maxwell's Silver Hammer - all I think is "Help!"

Gazza What English paper or magazine did you copy and paste that from, as a matter of interest?
16th October 2007 06:27 PM
steel driving hammer Somewere on msnbc.com but don't try looking, it'l take some time.

I'll dig it up if you really want me to.

Actually I just searched yahoo images for 'beatles overrated' and found a good pic and it was from msnbc.

Stones You Bastard!

steel driving hammer Never Starfucker Buck.

It keeps me sharp, it keeps me cool, it keeps me mean and so far, it keeps me sober.

Stones are my (and I think always been) drug of choice.

They are so good I'm now learning using them as a pathway to staying clean.

16th October 2007 09:22 PM
Starbuck well steelie....as we've all heard so many times before...

"whatever gets you through the night....it's alright....it's alright...."

andrews27 From Wikipedia (Bizarro World version):

John "Jack" Lemmon, known as "the hyper Beatle." Only Beatle to win an Academy Award, for the film "Save the Tiger," which was built around all the Lemmon bits that Paul McCartney ordered Richard Lester to cut out of the Beatles film "Help," which Lemmon had originally titled "Help Save the Tiger."

Even more than George Harrison's penchant for Indian music, Lemmon's bug for filmmaking put an intolerable strain on the group, which culminated in the Beatle row over the "Sgt. Pepper" album. Lemmon had insisted that the album be called "Some Like It Hot, Pepper," and that the group perform in a short BBC promotional film dressed as women.

After leaving the group in 1970, Lemmon surprised the rock world by joining the Moody Blues. who promptly sacked him for formulating a stage show concept known as "Tuesday Afternoon with Morrie," in which Lemmon, wearing adult diapers, would sing from a wheelchair as the title character.

FYI, that Bizarro World Wikipedia entry is incomplete.
They neglected to mention that Lemmon also won an Oscar for Mr. Roberts, which of course later spawned Dr. Robert.

gorda I love the Rolling Stones. They are my favorite band. But, the Beatles are pretty cool, too. And, lately, I have been listening to a lot of John Lennon's solo music. His music is so deep and touching. I'm sad, that I never got to see him perform live. But, recently, I went to see Drew Harrison of the Sun Kings perform some of John Lennons songs. It was absolutely beautiful. Just a man and his guitar. If you ever get a chance to see Drew perform, go for it. You will enjoy it.

WORKING CLASS HERO
by John Lennon

As soon as youre born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if youre clever and they despise a fool
Till youre so fucking crazy you cant follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When theyve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you cant really function youre so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv
And you think youre so clever and classless and free
But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Theres room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

gorda Isolation
(John Lennon)
People say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

gorda Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

gorda Jealous Guy
John Lennon
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy

gorda Love
John Lennon
Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
We can be

Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needing to be loved

gorda Woman
John Lennon
(For the other half of the sky)

Woman I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well

Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah

gorda Watching The Wheels
John Lennon
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
17th October 2007 08:14 PM
gorda Borrowed Time
John Lennon
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

gorda AND THIS SONG, JUST ABOUT BREAKS MY HEART! HE NEVER SAW HIS LITTLE BOY GROW UP! SO, SO SAD!

Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
John Lennon
Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean

gorda Isn't anyone going to comment on John Lennon's beautiful lyrics?
17th October 2007 08:47 PM
gorda The other thing that I admire about John Lennon is his love for Yoko Ono. Even though, she was older than him, and not exactly a "beauty", he loved her regardless. He loved her for the person she was inside.
19th October 2007 01:39 AM
guitarman53 As far as I know, it's a lot of inmature people who never grew up who are knocking John Lennon, they act like 6 year old kids, who don't know the fuck!! what their talking about, they'll never get over the fact that The Beatles were the greatest rock band of the 20th Century! & they can't accept it! it's reality! it happened, so get over with it!
