Pickman's advice is probably sound, but I think we need to set up a committee to analyse your joke...WTF
Now the "Dead...shit" joke doesn't work. Change it back and put some dots after the word dead (Pickman's advises 3 dots).

Always sound advice.
3 dots is a very effective pregnant pause indeed.
Far better than 4.
And more breath taking than 2

See?

Never met Macca, but often do some work for one of his daughters and those who engage me to do so all say that he's a really nice guy, very humble and holds a decent conversation.
Plus his music's better than Lennon's. tbf my diarrhoea pebbledashing the bog sounds better than most of Lennon's dirges.

My mate used to run the gym at Lord's, where Macca was a member. Says the same thing.
Not sure that excuses Wings, though.

One on one? You're crazy.
I listened to With A little Luck last night, awful song, massive in the states when it came out 40 years ago, and I remember liking it as a teenager - proper dirge now .
I quite liked the car karaoke thing tbf

Yeah. Given the size of his 'mega-tar' status - especially in Liverpool - he seems refreshingly down to earth. Not sure why some people decide to hate him, really.

True. And Frog Chorus would warrant a firing squad for most mortals, but in my world Let It Be atones for all that shit and more.

Though as a choice of song, when he played LiveAid, I'd struggle to find a more inappropriate title.

I don't mind Corden, or even McCartney, but the carpool kareoke thing is getting really old. And some of the artists have been visibly bored by the mandatory sing along to their own tunes thing.

It's a clever idea and I can see he's good at this entertainment thing, but I haven't been able to bear anything from Corden since Gavin & Stacey.

Even then he was the least funny in that, by quite some way.

Fuck off with the thread title
Nearly had a heart attack.
Pity he didn't, talent-less bastard. What a great pity it wasn't him instead of the immensely talented John Lennon.

I'm listening to the White album at the moment, I'd forgotten how good it is.

They were both good songwriters. Not to say they both didn't write the occasional dodgy number or two. But I think they can get a pass in the context of history, no?

I really enjoyed the video, especially seeing Paul going to his old stomping grounds. I went to uni in the pool and had mates who lived near Penny Lane and drank regularly in the Phil.
Could have done with less James Corden though. Less, in this case, meaning no James Corden.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
His people are very good at ensuring alcohol is not around him when he is working, and that people working around him are not allowed to drink.
I learned this in my years working for EMI/Parlophone
It's good to have a nice clear head when you work, and I'm sure this his people's diligence had nothing to do with shielding the world from the awful things Heather spuriously claimed about Sir Macca and his relationship with alcohol...

If I had 1% of the life he's had, I'd probably be long gone with drink and drugs.

There are good Lennon songs but one suspects messrs McCartney and Harrison contributed the lion's share of the good bits. No way in hell John wrote the lick to And Your Bird Can Sing, nor its wonderful but oft-overlooked bassline. Don't Let Me Down is all about the counterpoint between Harrison and Billy Preston, the lyric and vocal are just stupid.

And that whole show was one long contest to see who could be the least funny. Matthew Horne actually sucks mirth out of the world, like a fucking dementor.

I used to know his former manager Geoff Baker who was definitely wasn't also his dealer. Heather Mills made sure to put a stop to all that fun.

The same could be said about Bono though couldn't it.
There is a lot of evidence out there that suggests that he is already dead. Apparently there was no rubber soul on his shoes beyond 1968 and he does look a lot more like Billy Shears now than Paul McCartney. I'm not one for conspiracy therapies but some of those you-tube videos are just about, vaguely, almost believable with enough alcohol.
Anyway on a serious note the changed thread title didn't work with the opening line so thanks for changing it. I hereby withdraw my Gestapo accusations and shall return you to 'Mine Fuhrer' status

Wings has aged a lot better than Lennon's solo stuff - which isn't bad in its own way, but is just not as good as Lennon clearly thought it was.
