McCartney

Post by Pervert »

Is it possible that the relatively lacklustre solo career (by the standards of the stuff he was writing, producing and performing while in The Beatles) is the result of not having to compete with Lennon?

Almost certainly. As was some of Lennon's poorer solo material. They both needed each other as McCartney was sometimes too light weight & schmaltzy & needed Lennon to reign him in. Similarly Lennon could be to aggressive and also to into self worth and self pain & needed McCartneys Lighter touch!

Also though after the break up they both would seldom admit it, they greatly admired each others songwriting & genuinly loved competing & seeing who could be the first to do something new!

When Warren says "Yes", he really means "No".

And does Warren agree with me?

It was because of that bloody wife of his (the Yank, not the Geordie ho). You can't write decent music on a diet of tofu and soyabean sausages. If he'd stayed with Jane Asher he'd have had all those yummy cakes. No two ways about it, the man's a twat.
