Paul McCartney's Ego

[Purple Haze]

Poor Paul, he was flipping through some sheet music and found "Hey Jude", a song he wrote, credited to John Lennon. (Not the usual Lennon/McCartney) Well we can't have somebody finding this in a hundred years and not giving Paul his due credit, so at his next opportunity, Sir Paul switches it around so the liner notes say McCartney/Lennon. Yoko doesn't care much for this and threatens a law suit. In turn, Paul decides to flip around all of the credits on songs he wrote, and therefore setting the record straight for the masses.

"I was a bloody Beatle too, an important one!" I can hear him whine.

There's nobody around to stop his nonsense anymore, except Ringo.

Poor Paul, his ego has taken over again...

Setting the record straight

You're just mad about that Phil Spector thing on the Let It Be album coming to light now that they've got Phil in the pokey, aren't you?

See, this is why I don't follow celebrity news. I prefer my icons untainted by reality.

If there's gonna be a fight, just simmer a moment while I haul in some chocolate pudding and sell tickets, then you can get as angrily demonstrative as you want.

I don't know, Purp. I t doesn't come off as ego to me. The Beatles are 35 years gone. He has no interest in keeping the mythos alive for the liner note crowd, and why should he? Why not look back on a body of work and say, "John was great, but I did that one."?

And Purp ain't stupid. That was weird.

 

[sunstruck]

Well this just got incomprehensibley stupid. Gee I wonder why?

Back on track. Haze I'm using your ass av! lol

 

[fgarvb1]

Is Haze getting his panties wadded up?

This i want to see!

 

[Purple Haze]

Oh fucking puhleeze, that's the best you can do?

LMAO!

Give me something, big fucking loser with a cheap-ass guitar, stupid title and probably an equally stupid signature line.

How about an original thought, pea-brain?

This is your chance, right here on this thread.

We're all waiting...hurry though, I'm not gonna wait all night...

I'd have to agree with Dixon here. I don't see what's so egocentric about one wanting to have credit for authoring something he or she wrote.

 

[Killswitch]

Why would Paul want to do that. Change liner notes to list his name first?

I mean if thats what he's doing...(I didnt read the link) thats bullshit.


And waiting 30 years to do it?

Theres more to this than meets the eye.

Seems petty to me.

Especially when theres no one left except Ringo to refute who wrote what.

George is half dead.

Killswitch, you actually are a total idiot. Everyone is clear about which songs Paul wrote alone. No one's disputing what Paul's saying about the songs he wrote alone (like Yesterday and Hey Jude). I don't really have the energy to explain the whole history of the Lennon/McCartney credit thing, or explain the meaning of which name goes where in the tradition of songwriting credits, so how 'bout you just go rent "The Rugles" instead?
