Who wants to hear more aural wallpaper, churned out again and again? Once was enough, you're right.

Him saying 'we're against it' to a random reporter at a press conference in '66 when it had barely started is hardly the same as releasing a single saying 'count me out' to all his fans in need of support against the Nixon onslaught. C'mon, John, invent peace in '69, let's go…

Even Nina Simone wrote a reply 'Revolution" song telling him to clean his brain (who's she? Never had an avatar on the AV? What does she know?!)

I know the order of albums and songs perfectly well; it's the people who defend such baby pap that are the ones in real trouble.

How the hell did you nail them down so perfectly? Magnifico!

Isn't it amazing, David, how worked up they get by someone who dares not toe the party line? You're an 'asshole' and 'contrarian shit' because you dare not kiss the Beatles feet for their shrugging political stance in a time when people their own age were standing up for their beliefs. A foaming beast of conformism,

Right, I'm on my own because I'm not a sycophant. Way to contradict yourself, genius.

As long as you find a new way to say same thing as everyone else on the board, you're fine (like the Kerry v. Bush debates, stretched into infinity); have a thought of your own, it's the crime of the century. A really, really sad, unfulfilled lot at the AV. Truly.

How many variations on Paul Weller and the Sex Pistols can you do as a late-night bandleader? Should have stuck with Portlandia.

Wasn't that the Paul outtake between Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Rocky Raccoon?

Uh, are you new to the AV? This is the home of condemning opinions.

At least It never pretended to be the best at everything for everybody, which Beatles sycophants like to constantly claim.

How many kids had to get clubbed before ol' John might get a little less ambivalent about the anti-war cause? Glad he woke up a few years later to become a working-class hero and scream power to the people, but shit was going down before then too.

Many McCartney compositions are kindergarten naptime anthems, and "Revolution" is a cop-out. The AV gang likes to call facts stupid or trolling, but facts they remain.

At least they're potentially dangerous and raise the pulse a bit, unlike those reliable moptops.

Yeah, yeah, 'trolling' is your only response when someone counters with the plain facts.

If you don't hear something pointed at Paul in "What makes you think you're something special when you smile," you're in denial.

Jay Leno was family-friendly, but at least he touched on politics with jokes about surveillance and drone strikes and the like. He never sang songs designed for lobotomized infants, or wrote a song called "Revolution" with such cop-out, 'we're rich/who cares' lyrics as Lennon did during such a politically-tense era.

But there's a lot of 'I secretly hate Paul' lyrics in Bulldog, so he's probably right.
Madonna is also a pretty shameless lift of Badpenny Blues
(go to youtube and compare).

I guess we have to thank the Beatles for opening the door for the Stones to come over and bring some non-fairy tale, adult music to America, but otherwise, glad I missed this
(did they have a montage of Hey Jude and Lennon singing 'it's gonna be alright/count me out' while Vietnam is burning, King and RFK lie shot down
