Paul McCartney Collaborations: Let it Be...

Rob, you are my hero, I can't stand the money grubbing tw@t, I remember him crying at the fact Michael Jackson had ownership of the Beatles music rights, while conviently forgetting he owned the rights to all Buddy Hollys work.

conveniently**

If The Gruniard is so good why does it lose so much money?

Sica Dan, I don't buy newspapers, but I would not measure a papers excellence by the amount of copies it sells, certainly not in this befuddled dumbed-down country that glorifies vacuous "celebrity" to the witless many.

Maybe it needs a page 3.

rob's been a veritable Jeremy Wade of late

HH Sultan Vinegar got me hook line and......not difficult I hear you cry.

.

Might me a money grabber, and he might give tons to charity, but to see he's over-rated is complete boloks.

Kenny, 2 of your favourites in one picture, fair play mate.

A superbly written article in the consistently excellent Guardian newspaper

you are just commentating on the Arts section and not the whole paper?

If anything McCartney is severly underrated in this country.

People (especially you, rob) so often trying to shoot down one of the most talented songwriters of all time.
Strange.

True, he knocked out some dross, but given the volume of output this isn't a surprise.
Macca might not be a nice bloke, I don't know.
He might be mean or greedy, I don't know.

What is for sure is that he probably wrote/performed more classic songs (whether you like them or not) than any other living artist.

He certainly isn't the only 'celeb' or musician, to make money where he can.


As for it being a good article.....
Way before Kanye and Rihanna catapulted McCartney to worldwide attention, he was collaborating with all kinds of lo-fi figures in an increasingly desperate attempt to make it.
I don't think so! And anyone who could write that line hasn't a clue.

I agree with poppydog.

Study his song-writing greatness is indisputable. Just wouldn't want to buy him a pint, because he facking wouldn't pay for one.   enough said. One of the all time greats.

Backstage with some fans, within the last year

Seems like a decent bloke, compared to what he could be.

indeed foxy

tob foxy's 16-44 that was

Kenny I promise to stop making negative remarks about all entertainers. I should be concentrating on the great/good stuff instead.

rob's probably only heard about 5% of Macca's catalogue, if that.

You are all wrong, Paul McCartney died in 1966 in a car crash. It's his imposter that's the money grabbing overrated pile of steaming horse manure.

A lucky (and talented) man who made the grade. People in the future will look back and think, my gosh what a golden era that post war generation was.

mccartney was dried up after the age of 40, before the age of 40 he was the best there was and the best there ever will be imo.

No way pedro.  Wasn't even the best in the Beatles ffs.

The story goes that McCartney was asked what it was like to be the world's greatest living songwriter and he replied, 'You would need to ask Neil Finn'.

Bob Dylan once said 'there are many great songwriters but McCartney he is the one, comes so damm easy to him'.

Lennon & Macca were the artists of the 20th century even if you take 50% of their body of work away.

Bob Dylan always had a great sense of humour.

hard days night is a title in the form of a contradiction.....


A bit like ´working like a dog´....being that dogs are very lazy animals with the exception of hunting dogs. This is another form of contradiction within the lyrics....HTH.

Had a run-in with him one day - at a public library of all places, seems silly now.

Back High Lay Low • February 5, 2015 12:57 PM GMT
Had a run-in with him one day - at a public library of all places, seems silly now....can you elaborate on this high low....

was he getting a book by a Paperback Writer?

or rehearsing Mull of Kintyre?

lately he has been here there and everywhere

Yes Howdi, ever since he got a ticket to ride.

with Lovely Rita?

Apparently,

he loved to turn her on

............

In the Norwegian wood.

And she was just seventeen.

to woo her a young mccartney yelled ' baby you can drive my car'

Just beat me to it

Rita claimed 'baby you a rich man' ...Mccartney retorted 'when i'm sixty four'

the two glanced and Rita with a smile on her face that reflected both their moods said  'here comes the sun'.

Yesterday, He said, love me do, she said, Dont let me down, He replied I wont we can, come together.

too fecking  good for me thaT ONE

I'm all lyriced out that sound wrong,

Rita's good mood didn't last long though as Paul's scally mate appeared from around the corner, definately 'on something' he shouted.Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob

dont worry about him suggested Paul he is free as a bird

anyway he is fecking off at the weekend 'back to the USSR'

Will you be sad Paul, suggests Rita, yes said a young Paul, it will be a long and winding road

what times his flight is it 9:10? Yes said Paul the one after 909

Paul feelings towards Rita were growing but if it doesnt work out with her he can shag 'sexy sadie'.

he thought to himself 'why don't we do it in the road'

He thought, Ain't she sweet. she's not, Bad to me, she doesn't look at other, Boys, she hasn't got me locked up in, Chains, or running around in, Circles, Do you want to know a secret?.....she loves me Eight days a week, I'd better Get back, I.ve had a Hard days night.

Got to go, to be resumed.

As long as I live there will never be another band within a country mile of them at there best #legends.

cheers fox

Spot on, cheers.

Is that  "The End"

I love your posts Kenny 'I have got to get you into my life'.

Nobody pulls the chicks into a gig like Macca

Look at these stunners, aged 13 to 70
