God, I love this. He's saved this song -- which on NR is, I think, one of EC's weakest ever. Sweet!

Great read! Young EC in "drunk tough guy" mode is always amusing.

Re: EC writes about Paul McCartney in Mojo
A Paul/EC long player will never happen due to Paul's baffling insecurity. He's still sore that John's universally considered the fab's resident "genius" -- why risk doing a fullblown project with another smartypants wordslinging "genius" this late in the game? Isn't that patheti...

Re: Beatlefan interview
Elvis' open letter to Macca recently seemed to be practically begging for Paul to make an album with him.
Huh? I'm obviously out of the loop. What's the story here?

This thread made me pull out WIWC and listen to it from start to finish for the first time in several years. Some observations: 1. "15 Petals" is unlistenable. 2. The "Dust 2..." "...Dust" nonsense is annoying. 3. "Episode of Blonde" is brilliant. 4. Great cov...
