You could seriously be possibly talking about 13 or 14 different people in this clip.

Well, three.  There is the main guy from the beginning, which is the one I meant, or the second guy that came in frame later, who's also pretty awesome.  Then another lazy but endearing dude in the background, I guess.  Not sure where the other 10 are.

Keep watching.  

 
Seriously, each time you watch pick a different person and think, "that guy probably thinks he's the ####".  

We all know skinny Santa is the real deal though.

the crazy thing is that mustard-shirted fella that crashed in from the side "Chris Collingsworth style" wasn't even invited.  

ETA:  also a great example of (L to R)

I just received the sweetest note from a friend, a dear friend from Chicago I haven't seen in 10+ years now.  He spent years trying to put together a version of Radiohead's song below on the piano and had been excited when he finally got it.  And this again seemed like the place to share such a note.

I mean, that's it for us, isn't it?  Our ability to feel that way is why we all share these threads together, no?

now that i've let a glib response dangle for a while, i can say "Yes, Virginia, there is a Music Claus" in response to your friend's excellent passion project. we're, most of us, bad at love and getting worse. It's why so many folks have become so invested in their pets - people largely wont let us love them the way we want to. lovely & loving as i am, i'm almost impossible to love. the litany would be pathetic, so we'll just have to stipulate on that point.

but truth and beauty i love with a hero's ardor. victory - the thing for which we are designed - is an abstraction any longer, cheapened by gamesmanship as an avenue for talent & courage to play out. so we are left with triumph - so rare, so real, so often a matter of mere endurance.

except when we argue with the gods. and that is why i spend more time arguing with the gods than i do pleasing man, woman & child. music, poetry and textural art are the things we can lay before the gods and ask to have considered among oceans and orchids as eternal, for however long their time. 

and i feel triumph every time i ask the gods for consideration under those terms. i feel seething resentment when i ask Murray the Agent for similar consideration. so screw Murray. and some of it i share with those of you i know know how to love, if not be loved. and the trust we build by doing so weaves a fabric of community which protects us from the elements for however long our time.

sure. matter of fact, should you want to extend your curating to identifying pure-Paul Beatles songs for me to consider for my playlist of essential McCartney, i would be happy expand A Pat on the Head (or leave it solo, but also have A Pat on the Head & a Chuck of the Cheek) into wikkid's one-stop Paul Showcase

I took my first load of crap over to my new house this evening, and after a stressful work day, I wasn't in the mood to cook dinner but did anyway.  Decided to put "A Pat on the Head" on to give me inspiration, and it worked!  First up was Dominoes, which is so cooking-while-dancing-able, then Another Day, then Mull of Kintyre, meaning I was singing at the top of my lungs along the way.  Found out that the best song for cooking - artichoke and sun-dried tomato ravioli with a cacciatore sauce, if it matters - is Mumbo.  Perfect timing and energy.

I'll put together the Paul list when I can soon.  Thanks for A Pat on the Head to give me energy tonight.

Oh!  On a totally unrelated note, I found a "Ringo guy" today.  Heard Al Roker on the Beatles channel on my way home, and he declared his allegiance.

Hmmm, I did do a jambalaya a month or so ago, but I might need to put on "My Carnival" for that.

Cooking for myself has been a nice surprise about getting split up-ted.  I used to cook many years ago but then ceded all of that, happily I should say, to the professional.  Knowing I could do it myself is refreshing.  I'm even, gah, asking for cooking thingies for Christmas from my stepmother (the only person I let buy me stuff because it delights her so).

 
i was gonna let the boss observe the 40th anniv of the world getting too stoopit to care about, but she must have packed her calendar with the crystal. then i forgot late meself under the bewitching spell of teamsweat over frikkin Tuesday Night Football. Miss you still, y'ol' scouser........................................

Ah, I observed it in the Genrepalooza draft, and most everyone there suitably honored him that day as well at my suggestion.  Since there's so much overlap of posters, I didn't separately address in this thread.  I should have known better (see what I did there), since this is Beatles Central now.

Today I read an interesting NYT article revisiting one of his 1980 interviews.

---INTERLUDE – John Winston Ono Lennon (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980)---

Along with his return to the music industry, in late 1980 John had been eyeing another return – his first trip to the UK since 1975.  He told his Aunt Mimi would watch the ships leaving NY and longingly wonder if any were heading to Liverpool.  John fantasized about boarding the QE2 and sailing home, and during the Double Fantasy recording sessions he even enlisted a friend to see about chartering the boat and see if it were able to fit up the Mersey.  A trip, whether or not on the QE2, was scheduled for early 1981, with a very happy John having called Aunt Mimi both the day before and the day of his murder to confirm it. 

His mellowing had led not only to nostalgia for his homeland, but also for the Beatles, and John was actively re-connecting with his old bandmates.  In late November 1980, he met with Ringo, who already had songs from both George and Paul on the album he was recording, and John agreed likewise to help Ringo by giving him a song or two.  John gave Ringo the demos for “Nobody Told Me” and another song, and the two booked a studio to record them together on January 14, 1981.  John also expected to connect with all of his old bandmates, at least socially if not professionally, at Ringo’s wedding to Barbara that was planned for the spring.

On December 3, 1980, John was interviewed for Rolling Stone magazine, with an accompanying photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz.  He expressed his continuing belief in the power of love and peace:  “You know…give peace a chance, not shoot people people for peace.  All we need is love.  I believe it.  It’s damned hard but I absolutely believe it.”  He also showed a new maturity is his perspective:  “I used to think the world was doing it to me and that the world owed me something…when you’re a teeny-bopper, that’s what you think.  I’m 40 now.  I don’t think that any more…”  A second photo shoot for the article was scheduled for December 8.

John spent the weekend of December 6-7 in recording sessions that were by all accounts happy and positive, with a sense of hope for the future.  John was described as having “discovered he could be grounded with his family and sober, and still put out a message people could relate to,” and to have gained an understanding of what it was to be a leader.  John shared his vision of going back out on the road and touring after the new year.  He even planned to being revisiting the Beatles songs in his performances, specifically mentioning “I Want To Hold Your Hand” as one he wanted to perform.

On December 6, John gave an interview to BBC Radio and was asked about the dangers of living in NYC; he responded by describing how great the city was, including that people came up for autographs but didn’t bug them and were just friendly.  John had taken to calling the people who hung out by the Dakota the “Dakota groupies,” but not in a negative way.  John often stopped to talk and sign autographs with the folks gathered there, and that weekend (December 6-7), a new face had joined the Dakota groupies, Mark David Chapman.

Chapman (whose background I’m not going to detail because #### him) had flown from Honolulu to NY on December 5, carrying 14 hours’ worth of Beatles music on cassette.  It was his third trip to NY to try to meet John, having not lucked into seeing him the first two times.  Chapman had loved the Beatles since his childhood, when he took solace in their music to hide from the mocking and bullying he was subjected to as a fat kid.  But he’d recently turned on John, whom he believed had betrayed the ideals of the Beatles (and Chapman personally) by acquiring wealth and becoming a hypocrite, one of the “phonies” described by Holden Caulfield’s character in The Catcher In The Rye.  Long saddled with psychiatric problems, he’d also begun to think of himself as being able to step into the shoes of and become Caulfield, but only gaining this reward if he were to kill John.

Upon arrival in NY, Chapman checked into first a YMCA and then a hotel, and bought a copy of Double Fantasy as well as the Playboy magazine containing a recent interview with John.  He hung out at the Dakota all weekend and finally saw John on Sunday, December 7.  Unlike the usually polite Dakota groupies, Chapman came aggressively close to John and starting taking pictures.  John became angry and tried to take Chapman’s camera, only retreating when Yoko shouted to him not to do it.

On Monday, December 8, after breakfast and a haircut, John gave another interview to promote Double Fantasy, followed by the follow-up photo shoot with Leibovitz.  Getting into the car on his way to the recording studio to work on a Yoko song for Milk And Honey, he noticed a Dakota groupie clutching a copy of Double Fantasy and offered to autograph it for him, a meeting that was captured in a photo by Paul Goresh.  Chapman had intended to shoot John then, but was taken aback by how nice John had been to him.  Chapman had also met Sean earlier in the afternoon outside the Dakota, reaching to shake his hand and tell him he was a “beautiful boy.”  After six hours of recording, John and Yoko left the studio around 10:30 pm, with Yoko suggesting they go out to dinner, but John eager to get home and see Sean before the boy went into dreamland.

Instead of driving into the interior courtyard, the driver dropped John and Yoko at the curb, since it was too late for the usual gatherings of Dakota groupies that they might wish to avoid.  As John emerged from the car, Chapman – still holding his autographed album – called to him, “Mr. Lennon…” and then shot John four times (a fifth shot having missed).  A doorman at the Dakota immediately called police and tried to apply first aid.  Police were on the scene quickly, finding a discarded gun on the sidewalk and Chapman leaning against the building reading The Catcher In The Rye.  Realizing there was no time for an ambulance, police loaded John into one of their cars and rushed him to the emergency room, but it was too late; he was dead upon arrival at the hospital.  As unsuccessful attempts were made to revive him and John was declared dead, “All My Loving” was playing on the hospital’s Muzak system.

I had to be in the car a bit today and heard "Dark Horse Radio" program on Beatles Channel.  This week she seemed to be focused only on the song, "All Things Must Pass," as every track she played was a different version of that.  A few from George, the Beatles's attempt, one from Paul, but the one I found most interesting was from Klaus Voormann.  I thought, "Damn, I can't believe I didn't know Voormann could sing that well (and with perfectly unaccented English)," but then when it was over she said it was sung by Yusuf Islam.  :lol:   That makes more sense!  Turns out it was released by Voormann on his first solo album (in 2009!), A Sideman's Journey.  

 
My favorite in the triple digits:

120 (52PM)  My Brave Face (Flowers In The Dirt, 1989)  

My favorite outside the top 25:

40 (17PM)  Wings - Getting Closer (Back To The Egg, 1979)

First impressions of Abbey Road by a 9-year-old:

Come Together -- "I've heard most of this song. From Amazon and other things that play this song. I see why you like this song, though. It's really good." Starts humming to the melody with the "He rollercoaster" verse. 

Maxwell's Silver Hammer -- "What kind of music did the Beatles make anyway?" After I mentioned that they were a rock band but Abbey Road was one of their quieter albums, he said "Thank you. I'm still waking up." (He has sensory issues that make loud music uncomfortable for him to listen to.)

Octopus's Garden -- "An OCTOPUS'S GARDEN??????? That just sounds ridiculous, but I've learned that the words to all Beatles songs are ridiculous. Not just this, but Yellow Submarine which I knew before." (He's in school choir and they were supposed to sing that one at their spring concert before it was canceled by the pandemic.) 

I Want You (She's So Heavy) -- "What happened?" (After the abrupt cut at the end.) After I explained the scissors story: "Did they not know how to end it?"

Because -- "When it's a blue sky, it's good. It means there's no annoying rain." 

You Never Give Me Your Money -- "Beatles songs are ridiculous. It's true. Half of the lyrics don't make sense." 

Sun King -- "WHAT? Obviously a different language." 

Mean Mr. Mustard -- "Such a what?"

Polythene Pam -- "I see what you mean about the songs running together. Why did they do that?" This then led into a revisiting of the tape-cut issue from I Want You, in which I had to explain the concept of analog tape after he asked "couldn't they just hit an off switch?" 

Golden Slumbers -- "That is not a lullaby. Lullabies are soft and soothing. This is loud and chaotic. Well, compared to a lullaby. Compared to normal music, not that much." Upon further inquiry, he doesn't think lullabies should have drums in them. 

Her Majesty -- "What happened? Did they use scissors again?" 

No comments on the other songs. 

Overall -- "It was good." Then more talk about his experience with Yellow Submarine; the choir was shown the cartoon. He said he would listen to The Beatles again. 

 
@wikkidpissah, this is my suggested list of Paul-centric songs for A Pat on the Head or its sequel.  I assumed since A Pat on the Head included covers that I could also include those here.  As you'd expect, it's harder to distinguish here what you might consider "Paul" enough for the list, so feel free to reject not only on merits but on that basis.

I've Just Seen A Face 

For No One

Hey Jude

Yesterday

Helter Skelter - I don't know, maybe iffy to make the list, but the vocal is so alllllll Paul

Eleanor Rigby

Let It Be

Blackbird

Mother Nature's Son

Here, There and Everywhere - pretty much acknowledged by John to be all Paul (despite the harmonies)

I'll Follow the Sun - see above

Things We Said Today - honestly I don't know if this qualifies.  just so good, though, and certainly an almost-all Paul composition

Got To Get You Into My Life - see above

Lovely Rita

Oh! Darling

Penny Lane (gah)

Good Day Sunshine - unless it makes you gag

The Long and Winding Road - the naked version only

Michelle

She's A Woman - John contributed a little more to this like the middle eight, so maybe not

I Will

Lady Madonna

Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey -cover with killer Paul shredding vocal, though!

I'm Down - Paul has said John contributed zero of this one

Martha My Dear

Anything I had ranked lower than this, I'm not going to include, except Long Tall Sally, which was ranked lower just due to cover-itude.

ETA:  I'd kinda like to include Maxwell's Silver Hammer, though.

ETA2:  Apologies to The Fool on the Hill fans.

thank you - didnt expect it so quickly amid the move & all (altho i probably should have expected it so quickly). i'm getting a little possessive of A Pat on the Head because it's so Paul but there's stuff that's kinda new to me, so i'm gonna start a new mix as A Pat on the Head & Chuck on the Cheek (or A Gobful 'o Paul if they don't allow titles that long) in case i dont want the so-DNA Beatles songs to dom the mix. thx again - will link result.

p.s. i co-wrote a really good tribute song (called Electric Eye) when Bowie died cuz i was in the studio when it happened, but the guy i was working with ended up ripping me off and still has the track, which i havent heard since that day. thing is, while i usually remember my tunes & lyrics quite well, this guy works super high all the time, so i was, and we had nine things going at once and i'm decrepit so i dont remember enough of it to reassemble. i really liked the tribute song concept though so, tho he'll probably outlive me, i started a Paul tribute song that you can probably guess the title of. i worked out a key change thingy which led me to a coupla lines which capture the jauntiness and happycholy of the Paul Effect. i also intend to use "wander" and "wonder" - one echoing while the other is sung in a bridgish "free to wonder as i wander, wander as i wonder" bit, in a way that says "heaven aint all that diff'rent................cuz i'm Paul"  - as a tribute to your misquote of one of my descriptive phrases, so you're in there. i usually write in a burst but, since i have no recording capacity at the moment and already have a backload, i'll pick & peck at it over a while instead. if it ever becomes a thing, you know who'll get the first copy...

I was hating this postscript and ready to fire off a stern letter to your former collaborator, but then I got to the second half (though a stern letter on some made-up legal letterhead is always an option anyway).  I'm in love with that second half, and I hope I'll get a chance to hear it.

 
In the car today I heard a snippet of the Sean Lennon interview of Paul that took place in October, so I decided to listen to it in full.  What a perfectly lovely experience.  OH had told me he had a friend who's worked a lot with Sean and thinks he's an angel, and you could feel that in this interview.  So positive and uplifting all around, despite being recorded for what would have been John's 80th.

i'd known him since he was 13. a tremendous bass player who insisted on being a middling guitar player and resentful that i never used him on that basis. when an ol gal hooked us up after i moved back east, i found that he'd been a garage musician most of his life because of his vanities AND the reason 99% of musicians stay in the garage - lack of song-formation ability. i will have to say that, unlike most guys who saw me still as a too-big-for-his-britches A&R type, he was genuinely excited that i'd "found my book" late in life and invited me to his home studio. well he had smoked tootootoo much, but had 50 yrs of riffs & such which needed concept, melody, lyric, structure, so we had to do him before we did me (tho Electric Eye, an end-of-the-world musical called Kill the Sun & the bones of a rock opera on the history of flight for ol' prog's sake we hashed together).

turns out, not all those instrumental tracks were his own, but those of others who had as little "book" as he. when i found out he had sold what i put on top of their demos, our li'l fun was done. and i aint been in a studio since *sniff*

turns out, not all those instrumental tracks were his own, but those of others who had as little "book" as he. when i found out he had sold what i put on top of their demos, our li'l fun was done. and i aint been in a studio since *sniff*

Holy ####, I don't even know what this is, but I'll investigate.  Other than Michelle, being a bit unreasonably high, that lineup looks fab.

A friend of mine told me that the album delay was because of Taylor Swift's new release. I found this shocking so I did a Google search and it looks like this actual is true.

When my BFF Paul announced the delay 3-4 weeks ago, he said it was due to production delays.  And the article you linked indicates Taylor Swift changed her release date twice for Pat on the Head Paul, not the other way around.  So who knows what did happen.

According to my friend Paul said it on a radio interview. He may have gotten it backwards - I have no idea because I didn't hear the interview and never asked him where he heard it.
