Music PING
wow.. 95,000 copies?? that is truly sad. Guess he needs to write music as musically significant as Snoop Dog and Lil Gangster or whatever stupid name that rapper has.
His best work by far was with the Beatles.
Paul’s been making a lot of really good music in recent years. That figure surprised me, too.
I’ve always wondered why he quit that group.
there’s a thousand stories, but I seriously believe that LINDA didn’t like YOKO, which caused the friction between Paul and John.
Or they could have just naturally gotten sick of each other.. which Does Happen in a band type situation.
I get the impression that Johnandyoko would have been a pain for anybody to work with.
His verbal support for ObamaCare lost me. McCartney can go fish!
John was on heroin. Yoko was certainly a wedge between John and all 3 of the other members.
Ringo quit the band during The White Album because Revolution #9 got nearly 8 minutes of space and Ringo couldn’t get his songs on the album.
And then there were financial dealings. The band didn’t believe they were seeing all of the money and the operations had become largely financial. It’s Only A Northern Song is supposed to be a reflection on that. Piggies too.
And he can take Elton John with him. I get really annoyed with leftist Europeans who lecture us about why the United States needs to be more like their ruined countries.
Yoko moved a bed INTO Abbey Road studio while she was ill and the Beatles were recording.
Last thing I saw on it was that what had started out being John’s band was becoming Paul’s band. John didn’t like that and brought Yoko in as a vote on band decisions.
I think George quit and came back at one point too.
He is a Obama supporter who smokes a lot of dope and married a gold digging gimp.
putting the lads aside ... I enjoy seeing a record label get ******!!
Record label still owes me $xx,xxx from the 70’s according to my books... they have their books rigged at $0.. so anytime any record label “GETS IT in the wallet”.. it kinda brings a smile to my face.
That’s the guy! Good work!

Watch the recording sessions toward the end. I think Let It Be. Yoko would sit next to John during the recording sessions. The others were stone faced and John was her puppet. This is probably what killed the group.
Yoko is an evil creep and John was a rather unpleasant person and a lousy father to Julian.
That’s the other nice thing out of this arrangement, it will be easier for him to put pressure on a smaller label to come clean with the books.
I suspect that John and Yoko wouldn’t have lasted 40 years. they barely got 12 and even then he’d left her in the middle for another woman.
