INDEED, that was cold!

Probably just shows how old I am, but I would have thought that Carol on the Bob Newhart show (very possibly the best sitcom, or at least the funniest, ever imho) would be the role she'd be *most* associated with and remembered for and that Miss Krabopple would have been #2. Either way, she was a huge part of two of…

That clip is hilarious, loves me some David Cross.

Didn't know that at all. Like many of my fellow Americans old enough to remember her at all, I thought she was primarily an actress and comedian and only dabbled in music for that one song (helpfully identified above for me by Hooded).

If by "musical style is the same" you mean "both write songs and play piano" you are certainly right.

I thought that was just a rumor, that he isn't dead - started in order to boost album and ticket sales.

I hope they don't, I sure as hell didn't tell 'em….I mean, oh yes, that was it, thanks for the assist!

Long overdue payback for when Macca appeared in the video for Tracey Ullman's lone hit song back in the 80's, I can't even think of the name of the tune.

I thought the idea was that she was going through withdrawal - an attempt to get clean - rather than an accidental overdose.

A perfectly good song, I like it as much as the next McCartney fan (and way more than someone who isn't one!), but I have always been a little perplexed by its unrelenting perpetual inclusion in Paul's live set list over all these decades - I almost get the impression that Paul thinks the song is more popular and…

I can do it successfully but only with a "double width" pape, and on a flat rolling surface, not with one hand in mid air like those crazy rastas!

There is a great live version on I've Had Enough on a bootleg from his pre-pot-bust European tour in 1980, that I imagine sounds even more like what Paul heard in his mind when he wrote the song.

Great choices there, Martha my dear! I'm a huge McCartney fan and "Every Night," "Junk," "My Brave Face" and "Little Willow" are all way up on my list of underappreciated gems of songwriting in his catalog.

I may be the only one in the WORLD (read: AV Club readership), but I have always loved this song and really admired the craftsmanship that went into the writing, arrangement and production, and just will defend it to the end. Actually I don't see anything to legitimately not like about it. The horn charts are super…

One of my favorite movies.

Mine too except maybe for the "one of" part.

One of his many little-known gems, really funky but then the odd meter in the main horn section riff is almost prog-like.

My opinions on McCartney's albums are often so out of whack with most of the commentariat and critics. Tug of War is one of my least-favorites and I've always found it just syrupy, overproduced and annoying, but Dress Me Up as a Robber is one of my favorites on it, great melody and one of the funkiest, or closest to…

I'm not as into McCartney II as every other single poster here on AV Club is; I'm a big fan and like Paul's real voice backed by real instruments doing real, earnest songs more than I do his experimental doodles. Coming Up is not one of his better songs in itself imo, but his vocal on the hit live version is…

I've always suspected that Paul actually read too much praise/validation, more than was intended, into John's very moderate compliment, "a good piece of work," he didn't say it was a masterpiece or anything. Paul clung to that quote for the rest of his life.
