Wasn't that a big subplot of "Houseguest?"

It's not bad, but it's way too long, and there's no cohesion between Buckingham's and Nicks' stuff. It's like two solo albums competing for the same 80-minute space. Their albums were always a little like that, but usually each of them had two or three tunes, and Christine McVie provided some stable middle ground. So…
Real geriatric-like.
My Cheri Armor. . .
Not a great song, though I can't totally hate it because of the circumstances. There are numerous other Eric Clapton songs I'm happy to hate in its place.
That's not a Dawes line, is it? Those bastards ripped off George Harrison?
I think of it pretty much every single time I hear "I Shot The Sheriff."
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Those two, and "On Writing."
Hasn't he only published one book since then?
Yeah, every time they rewrote a couple paragraphs, a massive earthquake struck somewhere.
In fairness, I don't consider the H.W. Bush administration "the 90's." I mean technically sure, but when I think of generalized 90's shit, I'm thinking Clinton years. The rise of the internet, the OJ trial, the umnentionable movie about an old boat, etc. That's all Clinton stuff.
Given the oversaturation of Beatle merchandising in the 60's, it wouldn't surprise me if they sold fans of some sort. Probably not electric ones, but old school manual ones for sure.
McCartney gets a pass for "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard." It's such a fucking good album, I'd say it's the best solo Beatle record this side of "All Things Must Pass." Credit probably goes to Nigel Godrich, for actually producing McCartney rather than just pushing buttons and letting him do his thing, but that…
Has anyone else heard the Evolution Control Committee remix of this song? He basically autotuned Ringo so now he's singing waaaaaay off key. It's awesome.
They're finding interesting ways to write these articles, that's for sure. The current interviewees are a lot more reasoned in their dislikes, and it's fun that they're bringing up other HateSongs.
The Reprise followed by Day In The Life has a much stronger emotional impact. And frankly, I can't think of ANY song that would work after "A Day In The Life." One of the few gripes I had with the Love album.
Nilsson's cover of "You Can't Do That" is great. The backup singers reference at least a dozen other Beatlesongs over the course of two minutes.
Mambo #1: Steal Underpants
Mambo #3: World Domination
Or Scott Walker?
Seems like good musicians are much better at killing themselves.
