I think Paul looks good with the new facelift. He hasn’t written a decent song since he and John parted company. Lennon was the major talent. McCartney needs to STFU about politics that he doesn’t and cannot understand in his liberal brain.

Actually, several songs in the article were Lennon's. I actually think Paul was as major a talent as Lennon. Paul's solo career is much better, IMO, while Lennon's solo career is just so much Oedipal angst.

That said, Sir Paul is definitely a wanker. At least we can smile about the fact that his second wife raked him over the coals.

McCartney had a "solo career"? OK, I'll give you "Live and Let Die" (anyone could have written that) and "Drink to me" (a little ditty that Wings did). The truth is that McCartney was LOST without Lennon. Lennon was the driving force of talent. I feel sorry for Paul, and I hope he feels regret for the jab at GW. GW has 10xtimes more education and Laura was a Librarian.

Lennon and Harrison were the true talents. McCartney could never stand on his own. Heck, even Ringo wrote "Yellow Submarine" which was more fun and has played more than anything I've heard from McCartney. Bummer for Paul. Yes, he is a Wanker.

Sir Paul’s stupid and inappropriate remark aside, who do people think was the better songwriter, Paul McCartney or John Lennon ?

I have often wondered how many MORE memorable songs Lennon would have written had he not died early...

How creative could you be with Yoko Ono hanging around 24/7?
