Tug of War is a great album but Ebony & Ivory lets it down by the end.

I know, but I think we're hating Ebony & Ivory too much. I mean, the other day I listened that song after a long time without listening to it. And I quite enjoyed it. I really like the percussion and handclaps of that song.
And... after all, it was such a huge success! You can't hate it being such a hit!  


I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't eat trash... I work out hard everyday and have a healthy life. And I'm proud of it.

I could hate it just as much if it sold 100 million copies, or 100. The amount it sells doesn't make it sound any better to me. It doesn't make me like Mull Of Kintyre either.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

An embarrasing low in his career, methinks.

I think Ebony & Ivory is not a bad song, nice melody,
but it just seems out of place on the album for me.

Flowers in the Dirt. The Costello partnership produced some really intresting stuff. Pity "So Like Candy" wasn't on a Macca album, that's a great piece of pop.

Tug of War for me followed closely by Flowers in the Dirt  


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."
