In all sincerity, we jews love the Stones, Springsteen, Thw Who, Neal Diamond and Barbara Streisand.
By the way, it almost knocked my socks off the other night when Richard Simmons was on Larry King and I found out he was not, I repeat, not a Jew....he does, however, have a pricless doll collection, including both Barbara and Liza dolls. |

Regarding the " Barbra " doll , he brought that on Letterman one night and Dave started pawing it .
Funniest damn thing I have ever seen .

You obviously don't live in the frozen wastes of New England.
It freezes men's hearts... in fact, almost all of my friends who are Jewish like neither the Stones nor the Who. Come to think of it, not a lot of Stones or Who fans up here regardless of Religion.
A nice little underground Who culture here, which is nice as I get boots from the live shows without having to B&P. But I seem to be the only underground Stones fan - everyone else is anywhere from thirty to forty years older.
As for our buddy Macca, good for him that his shows were #1. A guy who goes out on tour with four other band members and does a two-and-a-half hour show almost without stopping, hitting all the high notes himself deserves a lot of credit. Especially because 90% of the songs he sang he did as rockers, which is friggin' awesome.
"Band On The Run" as real no-holds-barred Rock'n'roll.
As opposed to the IPS no-holds-barred Cock'n'roll, as proposed by the Koi Pond Comittee.
God, I hope Ronnie didn't read that thread...
Waitaminute...
I hope Ronnie did read that thread. And that he decides to come with us... He and I'd start the non-alcoholic funtime comimttee, which involves ruthlessly pushing the drunk into the Koi Pond.
Enveloping....

Macca & Rock & Roll are not to be used in the same sentance.
Try Macca & Muzak for a more current description.
I can hear it now....."Ding, fifth floor, face lifts, prosthesis, warbling rock stars..." |

Who's this "Macca" these goons are talking about?

Paul was the most rock'n'roll of the Beatles - 'Long Tall Sally', 'I'm Down'. And he's never written a song a song as ghastly as 'My Little Flower Princess'. |

Sasca; you make a great point in saying Paul "was" the most rock & roll of the Beatles. It's over for Rock & Roll and Paul at this stage of the game. The only thing saving him is the drummer in this new band. He's the top gross because of the "cute" factor, as well as that Americans are infatuated with a band which was around for seven years.
He is not current any longer.
Another point, all of this row about songwriting credit, and his name coming first. Why the &$@! should he care now, about this, just think, under his watch, the entire Beatles catalog was sold right from under him to Wacko Michael Jackson. Wacko will probably have to relinquish ownership of the catalog soon, to pay for his adolescent conquests, think The Mighty Macca will come up with the cake to buy back the catalog? |

Macca P was a Far-East Bay rapper from back in the dizay. He is generally considered whack because his posse was so BeatLess.

For those interested, rap had some glorious lyrical grooves, most, if not all, can be found in anything Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, or N.W.A. did. Some of it is overly and stupidly violent and misogynist, but those are usually the tracks that suck, because they are playing up the boyz in da hood angle too much. But the good grooves are there and mighty fine.
as you may appreciate sirm i too (along with gazza and nasty) am with you on that one
i'd put tupac, public enemy and the disposable heroes of
hip-hopracy (sp?) in the list to name but a few
as you say it's not all "great" but when it is, it's right there...
btw, been digging a bit of marlene deitrich lately - what a gal!!

John Lennon discovered Paul "Christ" McCartney. That's exactly why it is, and ever shall be: Lennon/McCartney. And Paul was the luckier, by far...he found a collaborator with an immense lyrical gift.
Sidenote: The Stones were already the biggest thing in London before George even set his eyes upon them. Brian would have seen to it that the Stones "broke out", George, or no George. |

No denying the Beatles were phenominal - they changed society's attitudes in the 60's with their revolutionary music.
As for switching the order of credits on Lennon/McCartney, unless there's some financial impetus to making the change, it's a silly gesture by Paul.
As for Yoko Onon reaping royalties on Beatles tunes that McCartney actually wrote, that's not right - but then again, look how many cases of spouses getting a share of their marital partners assets just simply for being married. In the "real world," (i.e., not the multi-millionare world of Paul McCartney), it happens every day. |

Actually, it was a mutual friend, Ivan Vaughn, who brought John and Paul together. And Paul was at least as good a lyricist as John (Eleanor Rigby, For No-One). |
|
|
| Pants Make the Man |
Yes, but John gave the Okay...he had the final word. "Elanor Rigby" doesn't do anything for me...neither does "Hello, Goodbye"...nor "When I'm 64". On the other hand, "Across the Universe", "Glass Onion", "Dear Prudence", "Revolution", etc, knock me down, loaded.
Sorry, "Christ", old chap...Lennon/McCartney stays. |
