What would John think of Paul & the Stones now?
« on: May 16, 2005, 08:05:37 PM »
I think John would be laughing his ass off if he were still alive with Paul & the Stones touring this year.  He would be about as cynical as you can get cutting them down with his brutal opinions as he did in his last interviews.

No, I think he would have mellowed in his old age. And hopefully he and Paul would've patched things up by now so he would be supportive of Paul.

I agree. And he was already softening up, so I don't get the cyincal comment. I mean, of course he still was, but not as bad. Let's see...he'd probably be touring with Sean or something. Help kickstart his career at Yoko's request. Or they'd be divorced and he'd have to tour with Paul just to get back all the money from the divorce settlement.  ;)

I agree 1000%. I could also see him being a big part of the post-911 causes/benefits. Even though at the time of his last interviews he hated the idea of doing benefits, but 1). there have been so many since 1980 that were much better organized than they were pre-1980, and he was basing his views (at least partly) on the Bangladesh fiasco, and 2). It would have been for a city that he loved and considered his home. Can you imagine him and Paul coming out for the last part of  the "Concert For New York"??? He would have mellowed. You're talking about 25 years.

John: You're just a lonely old man from Liverpool.

I don't know what John would have thought about anything. He was always changing.

Maybe the Masked Marauders would have come to fruition after all.

 It's all hypothetical, isn't it? I don't know. I really, really feel they would have made up a long time ago and John would be happy for Paul within, but sort of competitive as well.

 I also think it would be SO exciting if they would be standing anywhere near each other at their age. All that magnificence would be too good to be true.

I think John WOULD be cracking up with his usual biting humor & brutlal opinions about Paul & the Stones touring this year if he were still alive.

I don't know. The Stones sound better live now than they ever have, and Paul is the consummate professional. Alot of time has passed.

I disagree. The Stones are still a great live band but they aren't like they were back in the 60's & the 70's juniorsfarm.  Paul is a consumate professional & a great performer ,which goes without saying, but he's not what he used to be.  I think John would be laughing at McCartney & the Stones for touring this year worrying about their legacies for some reason.

Wayne thinks theres a cut-off point for musicians. After 50 they should all be shipped to the glue factory in his opinion.

Your right about the Stones too Junior, they sound better live now than in the 60's and 70's.

I see. Their wild oats have turned to Oatmeal and they serve no useful purpose. Off to the shredder.
