It’s probably the album that most clearly highlights the problem with his lyrics - musically Morse Moose is outstanding but the subject matter… I wonder how Maxwell with Lennon aided lyrics might have turned out
Just finished You Never Give Me Your Money - impressive to see how McCartney reclaimed the narrative, even as late as the video you’ve posted (post divorce?) So … what book next?!
One question I would have - he says Blackbird was written as a social protest song. That always strikes me as a revisionist view, there’s no evidence at the time of that is there? That’s not how Paul’s writing works
Well…Dreaming the Beatles continues to be extraordinary - thank you for the recommendation. The chapter on Paul’s My Love is superb. Brilliant reading someone who has thought quite so deeply
Wow! What a book! The “I call your name” chapter makes links all over the place, rearranging known facts into a beautiful new kaleidoscope 👏👏👏 top recommendation
