A damning verdict indeed. Even Wings' Wild Life got 2 out of 4 Beetles.

I had no idea this guy existed until this thread. I thought Antiram's avatar was some creepy photoshop of Paul. No shit. I thought it was Pugwash. Ugly fucker too. |

Sean Lennon's a cool dude in my book. I've seen him live 7 times, although never for him in particular! (3 times as Yoko's bandleader, one time as a guest at a Yoko show, twice with Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger opening for Beck, and once at the end of a Wilco set, along with Beck and Cibo Matto. That last one was completely unexpected)

I think Sean's OK. Saw him a bunch of times with Cibo Matto in the 90s on bass and one of those times also doing a good job playing guitar in Yoko's headline set. He can play and probably could have found a long-time side role in a good band. His music as a leader that I've heard does suck balls though.

In the comments section for the review above, someone who's likes Slacka-Macca so much his monicker is "JamesFan", let go with this review: I was at The Saint. Show was just like you described it; rushed and loud. Snow, a beautiful ballad, was unrecognizable and incoherent. He actually cleared out most of the bar. He did sit on the floor to do some of his acoustic work and seemed to calm down a bit. But when he had more time to fill, the audience made suggestions like “Angel”…he decided to do Unicorn again. Weird. I attribute his mood to the very recent firing of his manager and stagehand right after the TN show. Having to drive himself, schlep his stuff and hawk his merch must have been wearing. I’ve seen him in a bad mood before, but this was manic on stage followed by a crash in spirits afterwards. He’s never been “Mr. Personality” but this time he seemed disconnected almost. I guess he is practicing to be the Mal Evans of the Beatles' kids' supergroup!  |

James McCartney is like the Prince Charles of this group of uber-wealthy heirs.

Q1. Who do you hate more than anyone in the whole world?
Q2. Which Replacements album did you last listen to?
Q3. Describe the Beatles fans on the Steve Hoffman forum in one word.
Q4. Who would you cast as Mark Chapman if you were making a Hollywood blockbuster movie about John Lennon's assassination?
Q5. Name three albums commonly found in used record stores.
Q6. Regarding the affairs of which long-defunct pop group does a man on the internet named 'Brainwashed' laughably claim to have inside knowledge?
Q7. What should your father have done rather than marry your mother?
Q8. Which 1960s group will cause you to have a psychotic episode if just one more person mentions them again?
Q9. Can you mumble something unintelligible while looking over my shoulder to see where your publicist has got to?
Q10. If you were asked to answer a question in one word, could you answer it in four instead?
Q11. Can you stop saying 'The Beatles' please?

and once at the end of a Wilco set, along with Beck and Cibo Matto. That last one was completely unexpected Sean is still in good terms with his ex, Yuro Honda, who eventually married Nels Cline, from Wilco. Jeff Tweedy took part in a few re-record the album projects from Beck. |

Jeff Tweedy took part in a few re-record the album projects from Beck. At the time, I didn't know that. And the fact that only Beck and Wilco were on the bill (along with Bob Dylan who declined to join in the festivities) made it all the more surprising. Cline has also been among the ranks of the Plastic Ono Band. |

Paul: James, when are you gonna do something with your life? James: Um, eh, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Glurg. *snort* Paul: You must have some interests? James: I, uh, um, yeah. No. Er... Paul: When I was your age, boy, I had already been the greatest human to have ever lived, fucked a lot of women who wouldn't even give you the time of day, and I wrote "Carnival of Light". James: Caravan of, uh, what? Paul: You wouldn't understand. It was like Stockhausen, only better. So what's it gonna be, son? James: Uh, I guess I can be a, um, Beatle? Paul: Listen, sickboy. You're not fit to lick Pete Best's shoes. James: Er, can I be a, uh, Wing? Paul: When I was half your age I was slogging it out in Hamburg, 23 hours a day, fucking women who wouldn't give a tosser like you the time of day. I did that with my mate John. I was the *real* avant-garde Beatle, y'know! Swanning about Swinging London, Britain's most eligible bachelor. Princess Margaret once told me she wished she were me. I sat through almost ten minutes of an Ionesco play too.... Anyway, as I was saying, John would never have given a tosser like you the time of day. James: Uh. Yeah. OK. *drools* Paul: It's the bloody Beatles White Album! Shut up! James: Eh?! What?? Paul: I tell you what you are going to do. You are going to play some gigs. I will show up on stage at the club and wave to the crowd. James: Uh, please don't. Paul: Yes! I will suddenly appear on stage, unannounced. I will wave. The crowd will love it. They love to see me bask in their adoration. But a tosser like you wouldn't know anything about adoration, would you? It's not fair, really. Ringo's kid knows how to pound a stick into a drum. And I get stuck with you. I blame your mother. Good thing I have traded up these days, eh? Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Heh! James: Well, um... Paul: Yeah, that's what we'll do. You go out and play the gig and I'll come out and wave. They will be really excited to see old Macca waving at them. I will pat you on the shoulder, like a show of support or something. Ah, yes, Macca treading the boards in the clubs again.... What a treat that'll be for the punters. Pretty good, eh? Macca: proud dad and man of the people, all in one go! Plus it gives them a little respite from the tosser. James: Uh, if you say so. Um.... Paul: I wrote 70 per cent of John's songs, eyeball to eyeball. James: Um, yeah. *sniff* Paul: Jane Asher! That was her name! Now there was a posh bird who would never have given a tosser like you the time of day....
This seems weirdly plausible.

Paul: And I shagged that Heather Mills chick too. That was something else. (wiggles his tongue)
James: Good for you Dad? That shagging thing, what's it like?
