I really have grown to despise the song "Nowhere Man"

I really have grown to despise the song "Nowhere Man"

Why?

[russycarps]

Why?

it's the first song I'm learning to play on the piano, I've played the first 4 bars 100 times and I still cant get the hang of it...

LOVE Macca taking the handbrake off vocally at the end.

Did anyone see this story about some dentist wanting to make a clone of John Lennon

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/just-imagine-dentist-plans-to-clone-former-beatle-john-lennon-using-dna-extracted-from-rotten-tooth-8780361.html

Which got me thinking... apart from what he looked like, would the child grow up to be anything like John Lennon at all? Imagine being told that a former version of you had written all these amazing songs years ago. How could you cope with that growing up?

Excellent Lennon podcast from BBC Radio 4 available. Recorded in 1970.

Cool will be checking that out.

Happy 73rd Birthday John.

A very "Lennon" letter written by John to Phil Spector. Sold for $88k.

Around the time he was knocking about with Moon, Nilsen, doing smack with John Bonham et al.

Studio sounded fun. Moon and Harry pissing on the console! Spector firing guns off into the ceiling etc.

One of his great interview here in which he touches on it.

Really really 'orrible

They always are really.

[MrZigster]

Sounds like my school report that.

Brilliant! I'm out of likes already.

Already?

It's only half midnight!?

Edit: To stay on thread. McCartney is undoubtedly an uber songmeister extraodinaire imvho.

More Wings remasters en route for September. Including an unreleased track John Bonham played on.

Looking forward to a new album from Macca. His last album was a belter.

[russycarps]

I've been listening to Flaming Pie today. There are a couple of crackers on that album I reckon.

[Wooderson]

A lot of Flaming Pie is poor in fairness.

Calico Skies and Great Day are ace however.

Yep, it's largely cack. The songs you mention are the best, though I dont mind Somedays either.

Calico Skies was brill at glastonbury.

Probably already been discussed, but Lennon or McCartney?

(The video's 30 minutes of artists/actors giving their opinion)

[The Nal]

The correct answer of course is "both". Or "neither".

[russycarps]

Or Harrison.

[windy_miller]

Its a ridiculous, meaningless question.

[russycarps]

JUST ANSWER IT.

[The Nal]

WM has a point in fairness

[Wooderson]

Which bollock do you prefer? Left or right?
