I agree that John was part of the genius of the Beatles so this is in no way a slight towards him ... Paul wrote Helter Skelter - I believe the Who had released something that some critic had remarked was the loudest song he had every heard, Helter Skelter was Paul's attempt to outdo the Who. It's about a roller coaster.

Agreed. As much as I love Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul and Revolver, The White Album has always been my fave. So many great, wild, diverse songs that a single album just couldn't contain 'em. (and us old folks remember the cool poster and mug shots that came with the vinyl) |

good on ya paul for appearing on letterman last night and reminding us and/or enlightening us to the real nature of jacko, who so nastily stabbed you and your mates in the back when it came to the ownership, copyrights and payment of royalties on your incredible catalogue of music. Maybe the "king of pop" produced some good music, dance moves and videos in his day, but when it came time to being loyal to his friends and having any kind of integrity whatsoever, his greed took over and it was all about the $$$. To quote Sir Paul, in one their last conversations, "its' just business, Paul." guess the karmic snake bites deeply after all.  |

Too bad Sir Paul didn't improve with age... Oh well, he did enough in his 20s.

While anyone that doesn't recognize the absolute genius of the Beatles has no sence of musical history or invention, but post-Beatles and Paul's "Nifty Fifty" drivel is a true tribute to Mr. John Lennon. Paul flew the coupe with Wings. .
