Paul McCartney (Official Thread)

I can't play piano for toffee (and I've tried)... I think songs composed and formulated on keyboards often fair better than.... say, guitar.

Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five.

I bought another copy a few years back (I'd cut out the light switch square when I had it on the wall in a dodgy student flat when at Art College!)

The loss of Linda was tragic.. Still when I see movie credits and see 'Eastman Colour'.... I remember her.
Lovely Linda and this are fitting :

Every Night.

.... Nice SG Denny is playing, different scratch plate too.
If I'm correct a day before Bloody Sunday, Paul and John had agreed to not have a go at each other via songs....

Give Ireland Back To The Irish.

As I have said a few times, I don’t listen to radio broadcast much at all but I’m sitting here lamenting that recently I can recall “classic rock” radio playing so few Paul McCartney songs. Songs like the live version of “Maybe I’m Amazed”, “Band On The Run”, maybe “Silly Love Songs” and of course from Halloween until Valentines Day you’ll here “Wonderful Christmastime”.
It seems the definitive version of “Live And Let Die” is now by Guns and Roses.

Well BeatleMatt... I often have "radio reflections" going on in my mind.... listening to Radio Trent 301 on MW!

I was double jobbing whilst on the 'Tom & Dick'..... was on full pay and this was a local station.

Goodnight Tonight.

Oddly enough I was 'coming down'.... when this was often aired-dashing around like a blue arsed fly for work...

Coming Up.

I meant to say, you don’t hear many of his songs playing on the radio today. Every five years or so a new “classic rock” song is created. A song that was once new and fresh and just rock, and suddenly, 30 years or so passes and the song become “classic rock”. So perhaps because radio programmers are so lazy, they sometimes reduce the songs they have in rotation and tend to only play those certain songs time and time again.
