This new McCartney CD is damn good. . .

[emulatorloo]

Something for every fan -- experimental stuff, parts that sound like White Album revisited (complete w a John song and a George Song. A song where Paul thinks he's Burt Bacharach, crazed Psychadelic instrumentals. Silly stuff and big themes. . .

My fifth time through and I am liking it.

1. It's excellent

Getting better all the time with repeated listens. The producer, Nigel Goodrich, kicked ass, which is what McC's needed for a long time (IMO).

4. I was glad Goodrich took away Paul's band and put him on his own.

He always seems to do better solo than w a band (well, except for the Beatles one).

A lot of these songs speak really personally to me. . .

2. I just ordered it,

much to my horror. But, I heard it was good.

Hey, we geezers need to stick together, and the new Rolling Stones album is also absolutely great.

heh heh heh............ watch your backs, kids...............

3. We've had a great year musically -- between the Stones, Brian Wilson's

2 CDs and now this McCartney "Chaos & Creation."

<Hey, we geezers need to stick together>

from the new CD:

"You and me
Side by Side
We know how to change the world. . ."

:toast:

5. Check out

the (not so new now) Van Morrison's "Magic Time." I'm listening to it right now, and he's better than ever.

We DID change the world, remember?

8. I missed that one somehow -- will check it out. . .

Thanks for the recommendation. . .

7. Perhaps one day U2 will be great again.

You "geezers" give me hope. ;)

11. I just read a biography of Bono

He's a very, very interesting guy. They all are, really. And, you know, I think their latest album was pretty terrific, but then, I'm a geezer.

Yeah, I think bands like U2 will survive and prevail like the Rolling Stones have. So will R.E.M., John Mellencamp, and I just forgot what we were talking about.

Hey. I'm a geezer.

6. Did you notice his logo?

Reads the same upside down.

9. I hadn't noticed -

thanks for pointing that out.

10. It's called an "ambigram".

Lots of other examples to be found on Google.

12. "Nixon"

His name read the same upside-down.

That's how I knew he was Satan.

My real name has a total of fourteen letters - there are seven sets of dupicate letters, each set comprised of different letters. It's a real trick that's won me more free drinks in bars than I can recall. Oddly enough, men spot it more readily than women.

13. Is he 64 yet?

:)

Guess we'll still need him then....
