1. Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-three ?

[Bucky]

2. Sadly, yes, you can already predict next year's headlines

No, we don't need you, McCartney. We need John Lennon.

[saracat]

4. Now that isn't nice. You can like both you know. And Macca has

spoken out against Bush and campaigned for Kerry.

[Zuni]

7. why do we need John and not Paul?

neither of them was much without the other. They were better in the Beatles than they were alone

[WillyT]

9. LOL !!! - I Always Love These Disputes...

McCartney or Lennon?

Gilmour or Waters?

Kath or Cetera (Chicago)?

The only reason these guys were any good at all was because they had each other to bounce ideas off of and learn from. Once they have honed their skills and become master musicians and song writers, they tend to naturally want to explore their own ideas in artistry. But... I don't believe they would have ever gotten as far as they did, without each other.

For melodies and sing alongs, generally it's Paul. Although John was quite good at that as well. For politics and avant-garde, John was the man (and my favorite too), but Paul wasn't a piker here either.

I love them both, I love them all, so... Let It Be.

That said... when it comes to Rogers and Hammerstein, give me Hammerstein any day of the week!!!

:hi::rofl::hi:

11. What about rogers and Hart?????

[Left Is Write]

13. I don't understand why it has to be one or the other.

It's not McCartney's fault that Lennon is no longer here.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

23. It doesn't have to be that way.

Some people just choose to be bitter over something that cannot be changed. And I feel sorry for those people. All four Beatles brought something to the mix, and I've never thought of one above the other. I have my favorite (George) but it isn't like I discredit the others for their contributions. People do it to Paul all the time. I wasn't alive at any point during the Beatles career, but even I know that the special thing they had was never due to one particular band member.

I think something that's interesting to note is that as the Beatles, Paul and John were more successful than apart from the group. Both had decent solo careers, but none of that matched anything they did with the Beatles.

3. Sigh. Paul was sooo gorgeous! It really upsets me to see how he aged.

I really wish he would get a facelift or something. It would make me feel so much better! My idols shouln't get old! LOL!:hippie: :rofl:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

5. Just you wait, my pretty

Just you wait ............ :)

[saracat]

8. Tee hee hee! I fear my wait is almost over!

But then, I don't have Paul's money! He should be considerate of my feelings and let me live vicariously! Snort! Only joking. I wouldn't want him to turn into Robert Stack!:7

[OldLeftieLawyer]

10. The hair dye is bad enough

What is it with old guys who think really dark hair with white roots showing is a good idea?

Christopher Walken has gone that route, too, and it makes me really sad.

[saracat]

12. But hey if your gonna do it, "do it" all the way! And NO roots! That is

just sloppy.And poorly dyed, flat looking hair on an old face is ridiculous.But a bad face lift is actually worse.Some of these people look embalmed!

[OldLeftieLawyer]

17. With all that money,

and access to all the best colorists, don't you get the feeling they're Grecian Fomulaing it up in their bathrooms by themselves?

Speaking of face lifts, I just caught up with the two opening episodes of "Six Feet Under" this new season, and Joanna Kerns, who was always such a great-looking woman, has gone the Botox route. It's actually hard to recognize her, and when I did, it was infinitely creepy.

She looks just like herself, only part dead. Not bad for that show, I guess.

6. Old age creeps up at a million miles a second

Paul's ok. I dig John, tho. But I always had a huge crush on Ringo.

[Left Is Write]

14. George was my favorite.

[graywarrior]

16. George transcends the Beatles. He was the spirit and soul of the group

[WillyT]

18. Agreed... And That's What's So Wonderful About Them As A Group !!!

George the Spiritual
Paul the Melodic
Ringo the Laughter
John the Tears

Something like that...

:shrug:

Together...AWESOME!!!

[benny05]

15. And his voice always warms my heart

and he still floats my boat! :kick:

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. Happy Birthday William Campbell!

If this is your actual birthday, that is.

(of course the REAL Paul died in 1966. Campbell replaced him)

20. LOL !!!

:tinfoilhat::rofl::tinfoilhat:

:hi:

[benny05]

21. The Birthday Song

"They say it's your birthday
Happy Birthday to you...happy birthday to you..."

and if you go further on the White Album
"yes, I'm lonely..."

[stlsaxman]

22. The countdown has begun- 364 days remaining until

EVERY television and radio station plays a soundbite of "When I'm 64" at least once, if not repeatedly....

get your earplugs out everyone! :banghead:

Imagine (sorry John!) the royalty check McCartney Publishing, Ltd. is gonna rake in on THAT day!

[dchill]

24. Doesn't Michael Jackson ...

get a piece of that?

[stlsaxman]

25. MJ did buy The Beatles catalog, but sold them to Sony...

and Sony may still own them but holding publishing rights is different from holding the copyright. In a perfect world the artist still gets paid. (yeah- right!)

Last I heard MPL was buying back the catalog from Sony.
