Oh, well said, SJSAMPLE. Witty and trenchant, and of course utterly convincing.

George Harrison also wrote “Something”, which Frank Sinatra called the most beautiful love song ever written. Paul McCartney wrote some beautiful music, and some was just cute. Cole Porter had his style, and the Beatles had theirs.

Cole Porter’s Night and Day is great. So was Sinatra and U2’s version.

Now let me get back to listening to Ice Tea singing Cop Killer.

Dude, I’m 30. Cole Porter had wit and sublime lyrics. The Beatles were for kids with no taste. And not one of them could sing worth a darn. My wife cannot stand them.

If any distractors to the Beatles haven’t seen the Beatles “ Love “ Circe de Soliel in Vegas , they should STFU!

I don't understand the reasoning in comparing the Beatles to Cole Porter. I love them both...also Bob Seeger, Paul Simon, Rob Thomas, Gwen Stephani, Bizet and Brian Wilson.

If I was going to write an article like this, my title would be:

Porter vs mccarney:

Sometimes I like to drive my highway cruizer and sometimes I like to drive my two seat sports car. Different music has different purposes.
