Expert Textpert on Paul's Granny Shit Music

Fri, 24 May 2013 14:54:59 +0100

I used to be in the "this is granny music camp." Slowly but surely I have been converted to fandom. I actually enjoy Ebony and Ivory, Say Say Say, etc. My wife is still firmly in the OTHER camp. Yesterday in the car, I was playing some pop tunes by McCartney and my wife complained, "This is sappy! Can we listen to some music with testosterone?"

So I played some Lennon tunes and she was pacified. She especially enjoyed "Cold Turkey."

DrBeatle said
Take into consideration that if it did come from Norman's John bio (which I've read but I confess that I can't remember if this quote is in there or not) that he has a MASSIVE bias against Paul, so it should be taken with a grain of salt. After reading Shout and Lennon:A Life (both by Norman), one would conclude that John was 100% the genius behind the Beatles, Paul was an insecure yet egomaniacal manipulator who manipulated everything in his favor at poor John's expense, and that George and Ringo were simpletons and mediocre boobs who ...

It's them during the filming of Around The Beatles in 1964. They're in their "fanfare" costumes. Here's another couple of shots of them looking ridiculous (though I'm sure some will say cute!).

A show that also saw them dress like this:

I can stand all day just listening to RAM and McCartney, but I can't stand some of the tracks in Band on the Run for prolonged hours.

Hope it does. Only thing I would say/warn is that you get a lot of words by default. You can start with any song, it fills in the words in all, but the obvious start is Across the Universe. And then the obvious first word to enter is "words". But it take any valid combination of letters automatically. So, before it takes "words", it takes "wo" and "word". Took me a little while to realise why I'd typed "rds". As a hint I'd get rid of the obvious little words first that begin other words - "a", "an", "the", "he", ...

Wonder if it works with "Safari"? I'll try it later when I'm not on my phone.

HeyTrud on Beatley Moments

I had a GREAT Beatley moment tonight! My oldest son & two of his friends wrote a one-act play and submitted it to a local theatre festival. It was one of two one-act plays selected. The play has been running this week and I went to see it tonight with a friend. I was so surprised when the play started and "Eleanor Rigby" was playing on the speakers!! Great choice, kid!

Oh! The play was great too! Very deep, but comedic and sweet too. Cool night!

Actually I'm having a hard time finding "Before America" too if anyone's awesome enough to know where I can find both :blush:

SatanHimself on Why the Beatles will never happen again

Add this to the reasons:

What genre were/are the Beatles? While the early albums were for the most part straightforward rock with a few curveballs, the band eventually made albums and singles that were completely uncategorizable by modern standards. "Yellow Submarine" "Elenor Rigby", "Within You Without You", "Hey Jude", "When I'm 64", "Honey Pie"... The list goes on. No band today could ever release songs in so many styles and expect any success.

I'm actually hard-pressed to name one other band that ever did it. The Rolling Stones had a few diversions, but even they stuck mostly to a formula. The ...

Hoping to god i don't accidentally order a 'McLennon' at McDonalds and the drive thru girl gives me the mediocre fanfic she wrote last summer.

Also, does anyone know the real/fake status on THIS thing?

There's a b&w version too.

I'm just mad that I can't find the pictures that were used for this edit.

So many aspects of their early years were considered shocking breaks with the conventions of the time that now look ridiculous in retrospect. The fuss about the "long" hair! They looked like girls! To quote BTO, You ain't seen nothing yet! The idea that they didn't need outside songwriters, forcing every other group to raise their game. The fact that musicians were making the front pages of the papers. It was rare for popular to feature on the front pages, and when they did it was usually for scandal (ie. Jerry Lee Lewis' visit to the UK with his underage ...
