"It made me realize that Game Of Thrones—more than ever and in a way that is slowly but surely influencing lots of other shows on television—has become a show about “the moment” or “the scene” more than it is about “the episode.”

Totally agree with you on that last point. Never ceases to amaze me how people see "poetry" in John's nonsense lyrics and the only thing they ever see in Paul's nonsense lyrics is … nonsense.

What a lovely story about What It Is. I didn't know that.

But a lot of the tracks are not really nonsense at all. Too Many People is a pretty biting critique of John Lennon, and includes this great defiant statement of independence from John: "Too many people, preaching practices, don't let 'em tell you what you wanna be!" 3 Legs is a slam at his fellow Beatles for…

Maybe after Ringo and Paul pass away, the estates of the four Beatles will finally be able to cooperate and put out a series of albums like this. They could call the series: The Dead Beatles. I'm mostly kidding here, but kinda not. I would actually purchase a well curated collection of tracks like you've done here —…

Gees, they're all Geminis? Interesting, especially given they all have that common quality of "when they were good, they were very very good, and when they were bad they were awful."

Sometimes he records these brutal rockers and then doesn't put them on the album. There's a demo from the Ram era called Rode All Night. It's this crazy 9 minute track where Paul plays this absolutely thrashing guitar and Denny Seiwell plays drums. It's all ad-libbed and it sounds like the musical version of Lennon's…

And For No One, one of the most depressing love songs ever written. And there's a track on Memory Almost Full called Mr. Bellamy, where Paul sings in the voice of a guy sitting on the edge of a building, contemplating jumping to his death. Not exactly a pick me up.

Let Em In is a great loping, eerie track. I read this description once of the song that I thought was right on the mark. It said something like, "The party's on at Paul McCartney's house but you better get there quick because he's already started without you — at lunchtime." I can just smell the pot every time I hear…

Maybe Meg White "almost never" talks to Jack White.

Yep. Spy Magazine made this same joke 30 years ago in its Separated at Birth feature.

Yikes. A virus at Paul's age can be seriously bad news. Hope he's OK. … I still can't get over just how much weed he was carrying when he was arrested in Japan back in 80. It was like half a pound. No wonder they thought he was a dealer. But it was all for him and Linda! I love pot-smoking Paul.

All of the shows were sold-out. And he just played there last November and sold out another 5 or 6 shows. So money is not the issue.

Love the vibe of this track. And I'm glad he's still making videos. Putting artistic people to work is a good thing.

Not necessarily. She hadn't slept with Logan until Piz ended things on the phone. She may never have slept with Logan if Piz hadn't gotten upset that Veronica chose to stay and help an old friend in trouble rather than meet his parents who he hadn't bothered to introduce her to in 9 years.

As a long-time Piz hater, I have to admit this movie did a good job of making me empathize with him for the first time. I did feel sorry for him by the end because he realized that he was not enough for Veronica, even though Veronica was enough for him, that she meant more to him than he meant to her. She didn't cheat…

I think this movie DID establish that Veronica is a grown-up woman. Back when she was in high school, events and life conspired against her to force her into this girl P.I. role. But now she had a choice: She could choose the route that she knew would lead to safety, stability (law firm, Piz) or she could choose the…

That a group with Mick Jagger can be referred to as "obscure" tells you how bad they were.

Not that many of you will ever venture there, but Detroit is filled with great little restaurants. Last time I was there I went to the most amazing sliders restaurant called Green Dot Stables. There was like a dozen different types of sliders — a Catfish slider, an amazing Cuban one with pork loin and another one with…

I adore Hounds of Love but I can't say I know much of anything about her personally. She doesn't have a public persona so I can't see myself crying over her passing. Sad? Yes. But crying? No.
