And here I was thinking that's the very definition of life. Heh! And about the time you get it all figured out, and then resolve all the contradictions you.....die?

| While not a fan of McCartney and Wings, I've always liked this and the Band on the Run albums. |

| Wonderful song. Amongst my favorite McCartney tune. As a young'in when it came out I said, great Beatle tune, and assumed it was John with the "funny radio announcer" "kettles on the boil" voice. I soon learned the truth and was quite dismayed at the breakup of the greatest band ever. |
| Interesting concept to me that any artist especially one as popular as PM is able to assemble lyrics which really seem to mean absolutely nothing in the context of a song...put some jangly disjointed musical arrangements around it and call it a song and even better...have an average score of 7. Wow! Just wow! As a sentimental memory...I like it. As a song...don't. |

| Definite earworm material.... fun, though, singing the gypsy part while running down the halls at school. Butter-pie? |

| Oh man — what a flashback! And I learned something new today — always thought this was a Beatles song. To me it sounds like something off of Yellow Submarine, or at least a B-side. I enjoy their goofy side — and as a kid liked watching the animated feature. |
| Outstanding Love the sonic qualities — they sure knew how to make recordings back-in-the-day... |
| Barry : Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s. Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away? Jack Black in "High Fidelity" most of mccartney's solo stuff is as john lennon said "granny shit" |
