Some of the comments for my last post about The Beatles songs that Paul McCartney wrote have lead me to the idea of doing an album by album series on who contributed more to each Beatles album; John Lennon or Paul McCartney. I’ll start off at the beginning with The Beatles debut album, Please Please [...]

One of my biggest “pet peeves” is when people assume that John Lennon wrote and sung all of The Beatles songs. Of course people who really know The Beatles music don’t think this but it’s a very common assumption among many casual fans. I’ve often heard people refer to Beatles songs that Paul wrote & [...]

Paul McCartney will be returning to the Ed Sullivan Theater (where The Beatles made their American TV debut in 1964) next Wednesday (July 15th) when he appears on the Late Show with David Letterman. He will be sitting down for an interview with Letterman as well as performing. This will be McCartney’s first time on [...]

According to this story, Michael Jackson left Paul McCartney the rights to The Beatles songs in his will. The back story is that after Jackson & McCartney had collaborated on “The Girl is Mine” & “Say Say Say” Jackson had “stabbed McCartney in the back” (at least that’s how Paul saw it) by outbidding McCartney [...]

According to this story, Bob Dylan & Paul McCartney are planning on getting together this summer to write and record some music together. It would be the first time they have ever worked together even though they first met 45 years ago. Being that I love their work from the ’60s (as most people do) [...]

Paul McCartney wrote and sang lead vocals on about half of The Beatles songs (“Hey Jude,” “Let It Be,” “Helter Skelter,” “Yesterday,” & “Eleanor Rigby” to name just five of the many classics he wrote & sang lead on.) McCartney was also the bassist for the band and in my opinion he wrote (and played) [...]

Instead of calling this series “top” three albums I’m going to just call it three albums. These are just three albums I dig from 2005. It’s not that I even necessarily think they are the best three albums, whatever best means when it comes to music. Just three cool albums. Alphabetical order by artist name. [...]

*** The category ain’t quite right. That’s all I can say, as you know, they are watching. What I mean to say is, it’s not even close really. Well maybe it can be kind of close.*** One half of The Fireman is a producer known as Youth (who has worked with bands such as The [...]

According to this news story I just read on CNN Paul McCartney says it’s time to release “Carnival of Light.” If you’re a Beatles geek like me then you know that “Carnival of Light” is just about the only song The Beatles have recorded that hasn’t ever been released in some form or another (it’s [...]

43 years ago today, August 14th of 1965, The Beatles 5th album Help! hit #1 on the UK album charts. The album stayed at #1 for 9 weeks. It hit #1 on the US album charts on September 11, 1965 knocking Out of Our Heads by The Rolling Stones off the top spot. The album [...]
