The Beatles v2: King Ringo and the Time-Rape Dilemma

and Eric Clapton for that matter but I don't expect the album to exactly sell too well. It's Paul doing what [i]he[/i] wants to do and if I remember correctly the album is going to be vaudeville-esque and of music Paul listened to when he was a little boy. There really aren't that many people who would listen to that. I expect the album to boom within the first few days of sales and then decline really quickly. If people gave Ringo the time of day, his album would sky-rocket. It's really glorious. His All Starr Band line-up is pretty good this year too, if I remember correctly.

You'll be surprised. Memory Almost Full sold incredibly well.
it was a documentary
it fits the definition of a documentary
Well it wasn't a making of, it was just footage of them recording. That's all.
still a documentary
do you know what documentary means?

no. I create my own definitions :>
Oh shit, Paul is playing at this year's Grammy Awards!
I just looked over the tracklist of Paul's new album and I noticed something I never saw before.

asdfdgahdfg i enjoy these songs so these covers better be good
He's releasing two albums no?
Paul? Paul's already released that Orchestral album, and Kisses is going to be his upcoming album. Unless there's some secret project I haven't heard about.
it's some psychedelic rock thing he's meant to be doing for the end of this year.

Did Ringo auto-tune himself?
But... Ringo... you've got such great talent...
That doesn't sound auto-tuned to me.
If anything it sounds tweaked a bit but I'm sure there's reason for it.
it sounds like a slight phaser effect on it
who cares what it is? It's Ringo.
and everyone loves Ringo
Ringo just announced that he will have Wings promo video contest where people can submit their videos and he will choose the winner.
I personally think that making a video similar to free as a bird would be really cool.

I wish I could do things.
Am I the only one who feels that stores represent John Lennon as if he were the only important Beatle, I mean you only see shirts of him, there is none of George, Paul or Ringo. I was in the UK Pavilion at EPCOT the other day and they had a beatles store, it was filled with beatles merch but it was mostly filled with John Lennon branded things.
Because John Lennon really was the central face of the Beatles, whether their true fans like it or not.
After all, all the shirts start with "[B]John[/B], Paul, George, and Ringo".
John Lennon was the one who was famously murdered, who went on to be an icon of peace and protest, and had the most controversial life, I would imagine. Or at least, the one that was the most publicized.
John was the one who spat in the face of political decency.
His compositions outside of Beatles were probably the best of the group, that's not my own opinion.. but looking at it in a certain way, you can tell he wanted to speak to the world.
As much as I'm an atheist there's just something in me that gives me a feeling John was "made" to be that voice of peace. It's hard to describe I suppose.
John isn't overrated, he's just such a larger than life character. He went from being a ruffian scouse, to a perfect little suit and tie, to a pioneer in counter-culturism, to his peaceful stage and to his rebellious stage against the U.S. gov't. And then in the blink of an eye, he just settled down and didn't do anything but watch after his son for five years. And then on the brink of what would surely be one of the greatest comebacks in music history as well as decades more of great music, his life was taken. In the blink of an eye.
And I think that's what makes the story of John so...moving. His whole life just detailed this...Working Class Hero. Small town dreams gone big.
I could sit and talk about John all day long, but I feel guilty in doing so. Completely ignoring what Paul, and George, and Ringo did, have done, and (in Paul and Ringo's case) will continue to do isn't right.
Talk about John all you want you're all just acting like Ringo isn't the best one.

Yeah, it's good to be obsessed, but maybe you're going slightly overboard. :>

also it wasn't a comeback at all, Double Fantasy got terrible reviews up until he died, then ALL bad reviews got removed from the magazines.

liverpool is a fairly big city
I finally finished listening to all 4 solo careers and I've avoided listening to any actual beatles songs through that whole time
now I'm going to listen to the whole beatles discography all the way through

Thoughts on the solo stuff?
johns stuff got a little bland
george and paul both were excellent
ringo was nice
Paul's 90s is stone cold awesome.
Ringo's was the best ok.
