Quote from: "Gazoo"
Mark, I love your essay, although I have to point out one thing you didn't bring up: lyrical content.  Part of Lennon's crit-cred was his love of wordplay (which sometimes devolved into word salad, as on "I Am the Walrus," but oh well); Paul's lyrics were often seen, fairly or no, as trite.


Sure, I'll give you that, but at the same time his repeated misogyny ("Run For Your Life", "Getting Better All The Time", et al) is just as big a strike against his lyrical ability.  Anyway, it was EXACTLY the compare/contrast of Lennon/McCartney as songwriters that made their whole oevre what it was.  I think each of their solo careers shows compellingly that they truly missed each other's contributions.

BOS3 Stones, one of my top 10 RS tunes. Used effectively in the film Coming Home some 11 years later.

BOS2 to the Strawberry Alarm Clock, which I somehow never got tired of over the years.

"It's the Strawberry Alarmclock!"

Unrelated aside to MShray, since I'm too lazy to post in a different forum: a NY Times piece on the revitalization of St. Louis:

funny, a couple weeks ago The Economist has a real gloom & doom piece on St. Louis, and when I mentioned it to my dad he just said, "Yeah, Things are not good."

And The Producers in its original Brooksified form! Dave put in some time editing this together, methinks.

Anyone who says this clip is going on too long gets slapped.
