| Post subject: | The 97.1 the Drive voiceover guy |
As I'm just leaving the store, I hear a Paul McCartney retrospective 30 second piece before a typically tepid Wings song, and the other big voice guy says in reference to Paul McCartney and Wings, "he made a generation of fans in the 1970s say...the Beatles? Oh yeah, Paul McCartney's old band". I'm taking some creative license here as I'm only 31 and didnt live the 70s, but I have to fucking bet that noone this side of Dah Mahneehhl has ever said anything remotely resembling that statement. Im calling shenanigans. |

And yet McCartney's songs were the best ones. But ooh, John Lennon was subversive. |

Yesterday Eleanor Rigby Blackbird Hey Jude Here, There, and Everywhere Abbey Road, Side 2 Let It Be The Long and Winding Road Helter Skelter For No One The Fool on the Hill worst Beatle, lol. Yeah, Paul wrote some cloying garbage, sure, but if we're going to hold bad songs against them, hoo boy, look at some of the crap Lennon wrote. |

1. George Harrison (quality over quanity. RPB, keep that 80's pop bullshit to yourself, all of these guys were garbage post 1980). 2. John Lennon 3. Paul McCartney 4. Ring Starr (He shouldn't even count, so I guess he's the worst Beatle by default). |

Drive Announcer: "Ten great songs from 1987." |

The ironic thing is that Lennon was at his best when he just played it straight. Most of his crap songs were the "subversive" ones. People like to hate on McCartney because Wings sucked. |

Paul McCartney sounds like he's doing a fucking Catskills routine every time he's getting an award or engaging in onstage patter or whatever. It's annoying. Therefore, he is the Nintieth coolest Beatle, after Esther Rolle, but before Dwight Eisenhower. |

Yeah, he hated "And Your Bird Can Sing," but that's one of my favorite Beatles songs. "Tomorrow Never Knows" is worthless, on the other hand. |

I had the chance to feel really old in a record store (first for being in a record store) a few years ago. I had a 20-something couple ask me if I knew what band Paul McCartney used to be in. Figuring even these two brain donors knew who the Beatles were, I replied sarcastically, "You mean Wings?" The girl replies, "No, that old group before Wings." I told them to go ask the guy in the sharp FYE shirt.

One where he's sitting in a big ol' chair all the time, and one with a hottie. It seemed like they never played the one with the hottie. I never saw that video. MTV & VH1 always played the George Harrison one in the chair back in the day. |
