Haha. Yeah. We should all take our queues from a couple of high school drop outs, because drop out millionaires are totally the rule, and not the one in a billion exception.
It isn't the new song that annoys me (although it does come across as pretty stupid). It's the entire body of ridiculous woman hating, gay bashing, ignorance celebrating work.
I never said McCartney was a lazy man in general. I made a crack that he got lazy when he was writing Band on the Run and threw three incomplete songs together.
Hehehe... I still don't know whether to giggle or sigh that no one gets that distinction.
I do like George's songs. And I was talking particularly about his solo stuff (and John and Paul's post Beatle solo stuff in these postings). As a group, they all bounced ideas off one another and worked well together. I mean, honestly, I think that is the one thing that is lacking in Paul's solo work, for my taste, is the tempering influence of John. You really see the change in both their work after they went solo. Paul's stuff is totally poppy, and a lot of John's stuff gets really melancholy. I just happen to prefer the direction John went (Beautiful Boy, Watching the Wheels). I don't have anything against Paul. I just feel like John's and George's work had more "meat" to it content wise. But it wasn't nearly as catchy as anything Paul did. The man can most definitely write a hook. I've never denied that.

(again, because, yes, as you pointed out, I'm the new kind of the reply fail... all hail me)
Band on the Run is three good songs that were never finished. Even the transitions seem tacked on (the weird woosh sounds?)
I just have higher expectations of Sir Paul. And he has written some good pop tunes. And Band on the Run has good hooks. I won't deny it. But it feels like three different songs to me. Day in the Life feels like one complete song with a big change.
It doesn't mean I hate the guy (although I admit I like John's songwriting better, and George's)
