Sgt Asshole:
Pipes Of Peace: An underrated Macca gem?
Let’s see:
"Pipes of Peace" – Decent tune but production way too twee "Say Say Say" - Good pop tune "The Other Me" – Macca at his most cloying. Dustbin lid. Sure. "Keep Under Cover" – Meh "So Bad" – Nice tune. Just a bit too wimpy.
"The Man" – Fuck me what absolute garbage "Sweetest Little Show" – See above "Average Person" – See above "Hey Hey" – See above "Tug of Peace" – See above "Through Our Love" – See above

I can't remember anything about any song on side 2, or the non-singles on side 1. Fine with this.

Why would an 81 year old billionaire musician do this in his final years? Think of the planet for god's sake, it's 2023. What a sad and desperate way to end a 60 year career, artistic integrity flushed down the toilet"

Two white guys doing the most flaccid imitation of the blues.
Fuck off.

"Tug of Peace" is what I do when my wife goes to bed earlier than me.

At least he's using a real horn section, those canned midi horns he used in the late 80s and early 90s were excretable <shiite off>

I'm gonna be that contrarion asshole and say that I actually like that song, and my enjoyment of solo McCartney begins and ends with Maybe I'm Amazed.
I'll never forget driving somewhere with my wife, and Silly Love Songs comes on the 70s channel. We listen to it in silence and towards the end She says "I don't think I like Paul McCartney when he isn't in the Beatles" 🤣

I love the studio version of Coming Up. But the live version? Meh. The last line up of Wings, while technically proficient, was incredibly schlocky and pedestrian sounding. The previous line up sounded perfect for the big stadiums. This line up sounded like the muzak that would be piped into a supermarket. As an admitted beatard I still find some charm in it but objectively as a band they sucked and were incredibly lame and boring.

I can’t believe the live version of the song is the one that became a #1 hit in the USA. The studio version is just so much more interesting. What’s more, I’d say the “Coming Up” promotional video is the only one of McCartney’s I actually like. The technology used to create it fascinated me, and it still holds up 44 years later.
