Ready Aim, John Lennon! MACCA on the ATTACK yet again

Ack ack ack ack ack...

That's not the sound of Billy Joel talking about a heart attack-ack-ack-ack.

It's the heartless, brainless Mr. McCartney who doth protest YET AGAIN about the lack of McCartney/Lennon credits.

ACK ACK ACK!

MACCA is shooting at the sitting ducks again, like how it's a damn shame John got shot, because now people think his songs are better than Paul's. Arg! Arg! Arg!

I have no idea why this fool on the hill is prattling on via ESQUIRE (and it's been picked up by Rolling Stone and everyone else). He's trying to sell some re-tred re-issue boxed set or something?

Not have anything better to do in the Hamptons with his wifey?

The timing of yet another ill-advised slam at John Lennon makes no fuckin' sense.

I hadn't heard the story of Brian Epstein PROMISING that half the songs would be flipped McCartney/Lennon, but other than that...heard it all before, bore, bore.

I get Paulie's frustration, I really do. He wrote, BY HIS OWN SELF, the immortal "Yes, Turd Day." He also wrote the long, long, long, long "Oy Jew'd" and that gushing anthem "Let it Pee." It doesn't matter that the latter two have been done to death and don't hold up all that well. "Yes, Turd Day" has simply been done to death and is as worn out as Pachelbel's Canned Ham.

What he should do is just publish a fucking book (ala the Lennon Playboy Interviews tome) where he goes right through every Beatles track and points out exactly what's his, JUST IN CASE ANYONE STILL CARES.

I think the old "whoever sang it wrote most of it" is as good a way to judge as any, but go ahead, Paul, list all the fucking Beatles songs and what you want to say about 'em, and make it a leather-bound collectors edition, at $5,000 per signed copy.

Jesus, it makes you feel glad that Ringo is such an inarticulate grump and just mutters "Peace and Love." Macca goes on and on.

Paul, you can NOT win when you start bitching that John's death has been an inconvenience to YOUR songwriting creds!

John's a martyr, like James Dean??? That's who you want to compare John with??

Holy crap. James Dean was a fucking dumbass homo-punk self-absorbed brat and he killed HIMSELF. John was murdered. John the Martyr is not James the jerk who died in a car accident and who, if he had lived, would've had the same shitty career as Nick Adams or Sal Mineo.

Mother Mary!
