I really don't think he spent years saying what you said he said. And I don't think he down played John as much as you like to say. I do however believe he had a reaaction to the whole John as martyr and John is God and John was the genius and Paul was the fluff and so on. Maybe that's why he had to say, hey look, I was there too. He's mellowed out about it now and I think he gets it. Don't tell me that if your contributions came into question you wouldn't react. It's a natural human emotion. If he overreacted, well, than that's normal too. He's gotten past it though. Which I think needs to be acknowleged.

Oh, and I think it's from his heart when he talks about George. This is the same man who believes Linda gave him to okay to marry Heather when he heard an owl hoot. So he's spiritual. Are we going to fault him for that too? Why is everything he does taken as a ploy or as insincere? Maybe he just has those beliefs.

What a cringe-making, mealy-mouthed piece of nonsense that is. Paul McCartney spends years telling us how much he contributed to John's songs, and how little John contributed to his. Then up pops this piece of idiocy - where Paul says George (George!) actually wrote a song for Paul to record.

Two things immediately occur to me:
(1) The song is dreadful, and Paul can say "Well, I didn't write it!"
(2) Paul thinks a phantom other-Beatle presence will help sales.

I'd sooner listen to what Paul says than someone who knows absolutely nothing about the development of the song and It's possible that John would claim his due to the partnership if he could.

And two things immediately occur to me:
(1) Maybe we should all keep an open mind on a song we haven't heard, perhaps?
(2) Only one person I can think of would think of something like that, and it ain't Paul.

I'M not saying the song is poor. I'm saying (as a reason why Paul is invoking George) that if it IS bad, or people think it is, Macca can say that it was really George!

As to your point 2 - you are joking, man! Paul is EXACTLY the one to think like that. He's always got an eye to anything that promotes him and his work ...

Anyway, about the George thing, I found it here:

Does anyone have the complete lyrics to "Riding to Vanity Fair"? And does anyone have that Vanity Fair article so I can read what she said?

Thanks.

I can't wait to get Paul's new album!!!!!!!

I plan on getting it the day it comes out. I hope that it's just as good as the Driving Rain album.

Ydoll Gwyn · « **Reply #29 on:** July 29, 2005, 07:13:30 AM »

As GOOD as Driving Rain ... I hope it's better, MUCH better than that.

Since you've said in another thread that you don't have UNPLUGGED, get that.

Come on Dolly. Lets lighten up some. I read the entire post and you've had nothing positive to say. Can he do no right in your eyes?

Based on his last twenty-year record, very rarely. It's no use saying I'm always negative: I try to see positives he's done (for example UNPLUGGED, to mention something that's been talked about here lately).

I can only call it like I see it.

tkitna · « **Reply #32 on:** July 30, 2005, 12:01:18 AM »

Are you even going to check out his new album? I'm not sure why you would but i'm just asking. Do you go into an album looking for all the negative aspects first?

The question i'm most curious about though,,,,,,,,'What was the last song by Paul that you liked'?

Of course I'm going to check it out. That WAS a silly question.

I go into an album I've never heard before with an open mind. That was ANOTHER silly question. I certainly do not say, "This'll be dreadful because the last one was". NOR do I say, "Gee, I liked this guy a lot in the past, so this one'll be great too." Both extremes (I'm sure you'll agree) are stupid.

The last song by Paul McCartney that I liked? OK, it was not a Macca-penned tune, but I thought his performance was excellent on I'm Partial To Your Abracadabra on the Ian Dury tribute album, "Brand New Boots and Panties". It was released in 2001 I think. Check it out.

Well, not entirely silly, when you stated that you rarely liked anything he has done in the last 20 years. I wasnt sure that you would bother with him anymore.

Again, i'll refer to my above statement.

So have you latched on to Partial To Your Abra yet, Tkitna?

PM me if you can't find a copy, and I'll make one available to you ...

tkitna · « **Reply #36 on:** July 30, 2005, 11:47:17 PM »

I havent yet, but i'm definately intrigued by it. I sent you a pm and thanks for the generosity.

Ydoll Gwyn · « **Reply #37 on:** July 31, 2005, 12:03:28 AM »

The link is in a PM waiting for you, TK. Let us know what you thought!

tkitna · « **Reply #38 on:** July 31, 2005, 01:34:02 AM »

I got the pm, but will need to wait until I get home to download it (cant do it here at work), but i'll definately get back with you. Thanks again.

Ok, I listened to 'Partial To Your Abracadabra' and I like it a lot. The chord changes sound unique and I dig them. The piano is also nice in spots (probably Paul, but I havent dwellved into this yet). His voice souinds like its struggling in some spots, but its textbook 70's Paul if there was one in the 80's and 90's. The screaming is nice as is the horns (love the brass and woodwinds). I'll probably buy this cd just for this track if nothing else.

Thanks again Ydoll as I do really enjoy this track.

(i'm still going to find something that you admire with some of Pauls later work)
