Blue Girl, you've done a terrific job. Nothing to work with here. I think we'll all look back at 2007 as the year we finally realized what a load of crap the Oscars really are.

Re: The Definition of Friendship

steverino — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 22:33:32 -0000

One of my earliest tv memories - right up there along with the JFK funeral - was seeing the Beatles' first appearance on Sullivan. Years later, a friend said that any kid who saw that was changed forever.

I've spent most of my life since then thinking about the Beatles, and I've come to the conclusion that Lennon and McCartney's post Beatle-work ha had exactly the INVERSE ratio of good to bad songs that their Beatles work did...i.e., Beatles = 99 good songs per clinker...solo = 99 clinkers per good song. Nothing to be ashamed of, however - their Beatle-era canon remains unmatched by any group or single performer in terms of musicality, lyrics, innovation, and breadth. At the end of the day, I'm not sure it really matters WHO wrote what piece of each of their songs...the many bios attest to two minds essentially acting as one, especially in the early days.

P.S. - for fun, see last year's "The People vs. John Lennon" - a real delight and a reminder that lying, underhanded governments are not a new phenomenon.
