Ouch.  That song was painfully hokey.  It's like when you try one of those new Starbucks drinks on the off chance it contains caffeine, but it turns out it's an an inducment to ingest five kinds of sugar.

I have never heard of or seen this record. For this reason I am impressed with RP once again!

As my car builder buddy said: the last year of old technology is better than the first year of new technology. Comprende' ?

Wonderful bass lines in this song.

Holy crap this is awful.

Very interesting.  The RP-listener average rating for this song is less than flattering but McCartney fans are very supportive and very defensive of any criticism of their guy, as evidenced by the plethora of such comments here. I don't begrudge anyone his / her opinion.  I've got to agree that this song is "bloody horrible" but to say that Paul was lost without Lennon is simply not true.

I sincerely doubt that. They were fated to meet and collaborate together.  One was just as creative as the other together.  FYI, I wasn't crazy about Lennon's or McCarntney's solo trips.  The complimentary factor was missing.  One seems an airhead, the other a tortured soul.  How much could you take of either?  I was neither.  I didn't relate.They both went their separate ways, one "back to the land", the other became a NYC denizen. Both individual trips were very valid.  IMO, best solo, memorable effort by Lennon was "Imagine".  Best solo effort by McCartney was "Maybe I'm Amazed."  Paul, I'm told, gives a helluva concert, to this day.  This is my humble opinion.

comparing this pos to what Lennon was doing with Plastic Ono and his other solo stuff at the time...............a chasm.

I always liked this album.  Not sure what the critics hated about it.  Or you.

Yes, let's hear more from RAM! For example - Uncle Albert-Admiral Halsey is in the RP library but it has never been played.

Okay, that's just bloody horrible. If this man hadn't met John Lennon, none of us would have ever heard of him.

RAM was a fun album. I've recently pulled it out from the dark confines to play again.

It seems to me that Paul and John were like nitro and glycerin creatively.  On his own, Paul was just glycerin - kind of sticky sweet.  I actually preferred Ringo after the break up.

Interestingly, my wife and I are expecting our first child (a girl) in a few months, and this was the first Beatles/solo-Beatle song I chose to sing to her.  I love its gentle, whimsical quality, and as we are leaving a Colorado location for Massachusetts, and I hope to return one day, I thought this would impart my wishes.  Ram is my favorite solo Paul album as well...
