Don't know if I ever heard this before - nice tune - had to look in I was guessing Pete Townsend.

That's a clever line, you gotta give it that. Love that line. Clever indeed. |

Paul McCartney is Paul McCartney and always has been. I think there is a certain back lash that comes with fame and success. After a while it becomes uncool to like someone that has been around so long. This is a good song and if McCartney was an unkown that was just getting discovered people would be touting an incredible new talent. I think there is a sliding scale when it comes to appreciating talent and it has to do with the exciting feeling of discovering someone or something new and feeling you are part of something new and exciting. You don't get that with older artists.

I thought "1979" was the Best. Song. Ever. but since RP played this I don't want to hear any other song. Perfect distillation of every Beatles/Badfinger impulse this genius Gemini produced.
God B and R thanks for keepin it lit. Bill since KLRB and KFAT days, thanks for being a vessel, a compendium of great Radio for the ages - and ressurrecturing Robin Trower - don't get no more classic radio than that ;) )

I actually love this song. Good job Paul, better than 99% of the current pop crap on the FM radio.

Let us not applaud mediocrity - that's what Top 40 stations are for. |

Sad truth is Paul hasn't written a great song in 40 years, those other guys have. Even the great ones run out of Juice. |

I told everyone Paul died in 1968 and was replaced by an bass double.

The pieces of this song do not fit well together.
And it is sorely lacking in verve.

I was positive this was "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" by Junk when it first started. And George was found guilty of plagurism?!?

We as listeners were expected to inject alot of nostalgia into the CD before hitting play... Darn near embarrassing |

Just further reinforcement that Paul is my least favorite Beatle.

Linear notes says Jeff Lynne played on and produced the CD. So there is your Wilbury's influence. |
