The Beatles: The most overrated anything in the history of history. George’s “My Sweet Lord” is a pretty good tune, but other than that it’s all very average.

What an ass.I’d bet that George W. Bush has read more in one month than McCartney and Obama have in their miserabke lifetimes.

Well then pretty Paul's mop has slipped a bit. He really can't afford at this point in his life to insult a huge part of his fan base.

Fans excused a lot of what the Beatles said and did due to the love of their music. Most were not happy with John's foray into political speak and I don't think that Paul will win any kudos from a large percentage of the American public at this stage in his career by bashing former presidents.

Did not one of the Beatles make the statement , that they were more popular then Jesus? Could have been anyone of them ,all losers, and yes I am from that era.

Paul was shocked at the Left’s reaction to his patriotic post 9-11 tour, and he learned quickly to step back in line. The Music Biz does NOT treat apostates kindly. Paul, a coward, went quickly back to ridiculing Bush, in order to please his ditzy wife and virtually ALL of the rock press. These dancing clowns need acceptance, even while they write songs about shunning the herd.

To quote a 60s UK TV show, what do you expect from a “scouse git” ?

That's my take on it.

It disgusts me that he said that about Obama. Uck. Kind of a Dixie Chicks moment, if you ask me.

I kind of respected Paul for his “Back in the U.S” album following 9/11, but comments like this make me think he’s a big dick. A BILLIONAIRE dick.

Oh. My. Word. You know I've heard people make that accusation before, but until this moment, I never believed it.

When I read your post, I was finally able to run the recall of those two songs in my mind, side by side, and darn it, you're right!

0bama:....”part of what gets us through tough times is music”....

I’m sure the people actually doing something about the oil spill in the gulf will appreciate hearing that comment. Yeah, let’s turn on “Yellow Submarine” and all of our problems will go away.

Another thing: Hopefully in a couple years W. will be able to say to that jerk “Sir” Paul that I had something 0 never had-—a second term.

“Sir” Paul: Who goes around calling himself “sir”? Even if I had that honor given to me I wouldn’t use it. What a classless snob.

And another thing: At least W. doesn’t dye his hair with dimestore color.

I’m Down... McCartney had A Hard Days Night, because Here, There and Everywhere... The Walrus is now, Eight Days A Week, officially (All Together Now)Yesterday... I guess I Feel Fine but maybe Paul should be working Back In The U.S.S.R. ... Hey Paul, Don’t Let Me Down! Why can’t you just Let It Be? You know All You Need Is Love!

Instead of trying to Get Back on Bush (that is so Nowhere Man!), You ought to HELP! Obama... because I hear he is Fixing A Hole down in some Octopuses Garden under the sea... He’s using Maxwell’s Silver Hammer on a plug made of Norwegian Wood... I said You Can’t Do That! The oil is spewing out like Helter Skelter! Barack said “It Won’t Be Long”... Yeah? ... I asked Why Don’t We Do It In The Road? We could do it right With A Little Help From My Friends! But Barack mumbled Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (life goes on) Then he screams “it’s my Revolution”! Well, Roll Over Beethoven! Why don’t you use that Yellow Submarine? They might plug that leak When I’m Sixty-Four!

I Should Have Known Better... Obama is on some Magical Mystery Tour with Michelle ... He asked “Do You Want to Know A Secret?” She’s A Woman who thinks she is Lady Madonna, but She Came In Through The Bathroom Window! Then he called her an Old Brown Shoe! I said She Loves You! He just said yeah, yeah yeah... then sighed “Girl” Obama is such a Taxman. I asked him to Tell Me Why, but all I got was No Reply! Well I did hear Barack say The Night Before: “I’m A Loser” because she cried, “You Never Give Me Your Money” ... I told him You’re Gonna Lose That Girl! He said We Can Work It Out! This Boy... I think he’s just The Fool On The Hill ... but he’s got a Ticket To Ride.

Hey Paul, maybe you should just Follow The Sun down The Long and Winding Road to join Sergent Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band... or maybe you could be a Paperback Writer with Eleanor Rigby down on Penny Lane!
