Ironic that no one knows anything about this 45 of "I Don't Know". It's a bad comedy skit: Customer: "Do you have Macca's new I Don't Know single? Store Owner: "I Don't Know." REPEAT.......  "You the manager of the band?" "Yeah" "What're the names?" "I don't know's on guitar...who cares on bass..." "I thought you were the manager? What's the name of the guy who plays drums?" "Fuh you" - What's your name? - I Don't Know - What? Okay what's this guy's name? - Who Cares - Argh!! Fuh You!! - Yep, me sir! |

What a great forum when an idiot like Arnold Grove can actually be influential. And "Egypt Station" still sucks.

There's an account on Twitter called something like 'Three Year Olds Tell Jokes' where someone has collected verbatim examples of infants trying to tell a joke, but utterly failing; that has more actual joke value than the above. Are those bottom two trying to impress Arnold Grove? I despair, I really do. |

I’m still stunned by the positive reviews it got. Is it sympathy? I get the Beatards eating it up, but I thought critics would rip it apart. It’s awful. |

It seems even members of the music press are afraid to admit that the emperor has no clothes. Pathetic. I think it's a combination of factors: - From the press, it's a bit of a wink-wink/nudge-nudge masturbatory send-off? In some of the reviews, I detect a right-on/woke undercurrent of "see, old people can do it to it too; but really, that's probably enough now, champ..."
- There's a small contingent of misplaced hipsterism, with younger listeners insisting that "oh yah, McCartney's a total genius".
- But most significantly, the album's chart performance has given old farts an opportunity to feel contemporary; or, at the very least, they feel they've shown the youngsters how the boomers just do it better.
McCartney's career has been on life-support since the early 80s, and the SHites are the ones largely paying the hospital bills. |

I have a hard stop on Macca's output at London Town, with some tiny exceptions (one of which is a 7" of Wonderful Christmas Time because fuck all of you that's a decent enough song to hear a couple of times every year).
Far as I can tell, he dried up creatively the moment that the Japanese customs officer prised that block of hash from his rectum.

Dude, he could go out on stage, take a shit on stage, bag it up and sell it and they would say it is the greatest thing since The Archies. |
