This is the time to release anything he has lying around (or stored on his phone, hard drives, old DATs) to benefit suffering musicians around the world. Waive the publishing, and release, what in the past he would have considered unreleasable, we will buy it. Has anyone seen Paul since he was last spotted walking through an airport in NYC a few days back? |

Can someone make a virus that only kills Maccatards?

Can someone make a virus that only kills Maccatards? It’s called listening to one of his recent albums. |

Waive the publishing? He's asking a man who has amassed a fortune greater than the GDP of many countries mostly through publishing to waive it? Yeah. That's going to happen.

And all those fuckwits are bothered about is the "Flaming Pie" reissue and the merits of "Back To The Egg".

You know how some albums get better in retrospect? Back To The Egg is not one of them.

I can just imagine how exasperated Chris Thomas was. Having to sit and listen to Spin It On shortly after recording the Pistols doing Bodies. Dear lord. |

Having to sit and listen to Spin It On shortly after recording the Pistols doing Bodies. Dear lord. I kind of liked “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” as it was on the Wings Greatest album. And I suppose “Ram On” is OK (after hearing McCartney play it solo in concert about 10 years ago). But, beyond that....(  ) I once read a period review of the album that compared it to a (hollow) chocolate Easter egg – it has a sweet and tasty veneer, but totally crumbles when you bite into it. That review has stayed with me all these years as it’s a pretty good analogy. (Two things that cause the album to fall apart for me are the trite lyrics and Linda’s abysmal background singing.) |

I think that "Another Day" would be nice if the vocals were entirely absent. I hadn't heard the song in years and recently realized it is actually a fairly exquisite arrangement and very well played. If only it had just been left as an instrumental. I only discovered the B-side to “Another Day” (“Oh Woman, Oh Why”) within the past decade (or so). [No idea as to how I had never come across it earlier.] The song itself doesn’t seem to be much more than a jam, but McCartney’s vocals on that track impressed the hell out of me. It’s a shame that McCartney rarely sang as impassioned as he did on OWOW, as it might have made later crud like “Getting Closer” a bit more palatable (shitty lyrics notwithstanding). |

When I first heard that song, I was reading Death Comes To The Archbishop for school, so that certainly influenced me, but I pictured the song as taking place out in the old west, with mesas and cacti and cowboys and shit. I don't think it would have been out of place on the soundtrack of a seventies western. |
