I think Paul basically wanted bandmates who would play what he told them to play.  And smile, dammit!

Aww, you guys just won't give Paul a break will you!!  

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Bob didn't go to The Wake (Concert For George).

I meant to say Bob in that last post, but I think everyone knew that right?

Anyway, now that I know that the Concert was considered George's wake, I can't really get too upset with Bob. Everyone has different ways of dealing with grief, and Bob especially is notoriously private about his personal life. You can't expect him to grieve openly the way, say, Paul did with Linda, or Clapton did with his son. Not everyone wants to make a big public affair of their losses.  You're being a little hard on him. I'm sure he spoke privately with Olivia and Dhani.

You don't ave to live on your sense of greif
As it won't ever die on your own belief

Quoted from Sandra

Even when George brought up forming a band again after playing for him John thought it was a bad idea. He said he was embarrassed for him for even thinking he would consider such a move.  

If I understand the situation, John was disappointed that George would ask him to be in a band that did not include Yoko.  John said (paraphrasing), "George knows that I don't want to do anything without Yoko." It wasn't the band that John was objecting to so much, as a band without Yoko in it.

One of my regrets is that both John and George did not form a band again after the Beatles broke up (I mean just any band, not a band with both of them in it). George is an incredibly social creature, and he enjoyed it when he played with other players.  I think John also did better when he had other people around him than just Yoko.  I think just the two of them tended to get rather isolated in their own world. John was a tricky beast to coax out of his shell.

I have tried not to speculate on Paul's reasons for not using his superstar buddies. I just wanted to show that such an idea was not as fantastical as some people have said.
And I see your distinction between using them for recording and touring.
I think it's obvious that Paul tried to keep his immediate post-Beatle career relatively low key compared to the others. If I were to speculate I would put it down to a loss of confidence rather than a desire to surround himself with yes-men. He got a lot of (unfair in my opinion) bad press over the breakup, and he may not have felt overly comfortable in the kind of company the others were keeping. And I find that very understandable. To his credit his approach worked better in the long run -the quality of his work increased while the others deteriorated.

My brothers (two different ones) sent me this link.  Puts Bob and fandom in perspective: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7007232453

Hahaha! That's quite funny!

For the ladies: One very hot photo of Bob.



*le sigh*

thank you *sigh*

Oh that picture is amazing
*melts*

Everyone I know thinks Bob is hideous! o.o
Well, my bestie thinks he was kind of attractive..
But my mum says he's a creep!
AH! He's beautiful<33

Bob must be thinking he's gotten too popular.  So he's shilling for Cadillac.  Check out the ads.  http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/10/bob_dylan_is_the_sellouttiest.html

My first question is when did Bob start talking like a transsexual Wolfman Jack?  Second, why the pimp-mobile Escalade of all the cars he could possibly pimp?  At least they used The Clash for Jaguar.  

Third, is Bob really just a real-life form of Krusty the Clown--who found that he was ultimately better at selling out than being a "serious" clown?  (Remember the Simpson's episode about the Canyonero?  Bob's driving a Canyonero!  With black leather "driving gloves"!)

Finally, who in the Escalade-buying demographic listens to, or cares about Bob?  

This is truly puzzling.  

I love Bob!

If you like Bob..
Or scrawny people in general
