It's still a few songs too long, but there are far worse examples of midlife crisis out there. "King Of Comedy" is great.

Anything's possible, but this one's probably not likely.

You see?

I guess they wouldn't have to give Ringo less now.

Well, sure, Double Fantasy is frustrating - I could have done with more "Beautiful Boy" and "Watching The Wheels" than "Woman" or "Dear Yoko." Not to mention, the best song of that whole period was one allegedly written for Ringo ("Nobody Told Me"). But McCartney didn't really start his artistic renaissance until the…

This, less than a year after getting all his limbs and facial features sliced off in "Looper." Is Paul Dano the new Jared Leto?

I'd agree with that. He's made stronger records (Ram, Tug Of War, Chaos & Creation), but this is the one most people think of when you talk about solo Paul McCartney.

Yeah, it's basically McCartney jerking off, but winking about it.

Ahem, "Put It There?"

That wouldn't surprise me, "Back Off Boogaloo" is basically a shaggy reworking of "Wah Wah." Both of which are awesome.

Hey, Phil Collins loves the drums in "A Day In The Life!" So, yeah!

Paul was obviously good at suggesting things, like various orchestral lines or drum/guitar parts, but it was up to George Martin to orchestrate them, or Ringo and George to make them distinctive. So they were all pretty damn talented.

He stole all of Ringo's best bass lines!

George also had a hand in "It Don't Come Easy."

Sadly, you're probably right. Maybe it was a good thing they split up.

George was basically on a downward slump from '74 to '82, the occasional amazing song notwithstanding ("Blow Away"). But he picked up with Cloud Nine, and Brainwashed is a wonderful sendoff. Likewise, McCartney's done his share of crap over the years, but he's been crazy consistent since Flaming Pie. So, I disagree…

Oh, it's a movie about a guy who falls in love with a Siri surrogate.

Honestly, I can't equate the two. I'd been a Polanski defender in the past, but my position is slowly eroding and he really should come back and stand trial. And it definitely makes it harder to watch any of his movies. But Woody Allen's only proven "crime" was falling in love with someone, who wasn't his adopted…

Worldcom turning?

It happens. I got a lot of shit a few months ago for saying I don't really like the sound of CD's, compared to vinyl or other formats. All of a sudden I was a huge tech nerd with a stick up my ass. (Which I am, but, you know.)
