Comments for McCartney, Paul, Pipes of Peace

Micheal Jackson - PUKE. What a sellout!!!!

Hey, John I think Say, say, say is a great tune !!!!

Pipes Of Peace is another great tune on this terrific album. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to discuss this with me.

It's not about whether "Say Say Say" is a good song or not (I personally don't like it). It's that JACKO is an 8 year old boy loving weirdo who screwed the Beatles with taking ownership of their songs. Paul should make wiser choices of who he collaborates with. Like Elvis Costello for instance. Stevie Wonder is great too, though I think the song they did together was a little too cornball top 40ish. (I love the mesage, not the song).

Well, I agree except that both songs are good. But I also hat Jackson

what made Paul want to work with michael jackson? what has that guy ever done for music except sell lots and lots of really bad music?

It was the biggest mistake he's ever done. Now he don't even own his own songs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how did michael come to own the Beatles records? there should be laws to protect great music from really odd, demented weirdos like mj!!!

The fun part is that it was Paul, who encouraged him into buying songs, but he could never dream that he was going to buy the Beatles songs. Jacko told him, but Paul laughed and said"What a kidder". Ironic isn't it ?????????????????

it's like rain on your wedding day...it's a free ride when you've already paid...it's a child-molester buying your beautiful songs and getting all the money for them...

An Alanis fan too, are you ????

just slightly: )

She's Ok. but it isn't fun liking her anymore. When I first heard her on the radio, none had heard about her. When I had grown rather tired of her, everybody loved her (My life's story)

me too, Spiderman! that's how it is with lots of bands that i like, such as the Wallflowers, for a current example. do you know them in Sweden?

No, I haven't heard of them. What kind of music is it ??? Perhaps they haven't come to Sweden yet.

the music is un-alternative, and it's nice. the lead singer is the son of Bob Dylan.

Un-alternative, do you mean like mainstream ???????

I like his father much better.

America is overrun by these bands that sing about how much their life sucks play these dumb-sounding, predictable songs. these bands call themselves "alternative". this band does not fit that description at all. and you could call them mainstream, i suppose. i don't really know. and Johnny, that was the exact comment i knew you'd make.

Well, none of todays music compares to older stuff. Sorry, I know you both like alot of the new groups, but as for me, I either don't like them, or never heard of them, and don't have any interest. For me, the last good innovative music that said anything was the punk music of the late 1970's - The Clash made some great albums. I love some of the new wave from that time too - the Talking Heads, Joe Jackson, Squeeze, the Buzzcocks etc.

.......and Elvis Costello.

and of course......reo speedwagon!(just somethin' i saw on another page)

;-{{{{{ BARF

you don't like them much, do you, Johnny?; )

clear out of the way ;-{{{{ BARF

aw, come on. you had to have liked something! even just a little bity bit???

Well, if you insist, they were better than the Wings.

you are sooo mean to poor Paul! where is Spiderman?

He's probably out fighting crime for truth, justice, freedom, and the ameri- er, sweedish way.

it's a full time job. i wonder if he ever checks his email! (wink, wink)

I guess not, there is too much evil out there.

perhaps he is afraid of bugs![groan]

No, I think spiders eat bugs. ;-{{{{{{{{{{{

then he's afraid he'll gain a lot of weight from all those bugs. poor guy'd have to get a new Spider-Suit. and you know, those things don't come cheap.

I wouldn't know. I don't own any suits at all.

no suits?? then what kind of getup does John-dot-com Man have?

A white suit similar to the Abbey Road cover. I'm a sophisticated superhero with class.

you're the only one. every superhero i know has a stupid cape with a stupid logo on it. i personally wear a dress similar to that of Marilyn Monroe's in her famous "diamonds are a girls best friend". i can't run very fast, but Damn! do i look good.

Do you fly? No, I guess not with a dress - if the wind blows the opposite direction.....you know.

this is the album that really started the trend of mccartney putting together really terrific half albums. accused as being leftovers from the "tug of war" sessions, this album should actually be viewed as a companion to "tug" rather than crumbs left behind. the title track is a very pretty ballad, almost too sweet, but very well arranged. "so bad" is probably his last great ballad, again almost too sweet, but a great song nonetheless. other good tunes include "the other me", "sweetest little show", and the very beatle-esque "average person" (i wish he would have used real horns instead of keyboards though, the effect sounds quite dated now). the collaborations with michael jackson produced the huge hit "say say say", which despite some people's feelings towards jackson, happens to be a clever song and was our last listen of the "decent" jackson era. shrug.

there's other ways of getting around, you know. i can teleport. sometimes it's slightly unreliable. i end up in a completely different place than where i intended. once i was going to rescue a kitten from a tree, and i ended up in a burning building instead. i got my ass out of there fast, dress or no.

I don't trust that teleport stuff. I'd rather stay whole.

yeah, well, it does have its advantages.

Now if you re-materialize with your arm sticking out of your a*s.

what the hell...? did you have a bad experience, John?

No, it's just if you dematerialize into particles a-la Star Trek transporters, what isn't to say that you don't rematerialize the exact same way?

well, in the land of superheroes, things like that are pretty much guarranteed not to happen. it would ruin the movie.

I can't believe everything I see in movies.

due to a childhood superhero movie trauma? perhaps you should see a good therapist. this problem must be corrected immediately.

No. Hollywood is fantasy.

i am having a crisis, and you bring up the fahrenheit/celsius conversion formula. how great of you.

What seems to be troubling you?

i was told Hollywood is fantasy. i can't bring myself to believe this. it would mean there isn't a batman. i cannot accept this.

Well, yes & no. Hollywood is a real place, located north of Los Angeles, and they do film movies there. However, the people in the movies are played by actors. There is no real Batman. He was played by a man named Adam West and then imitated (faked) by someone named Micheal Keaton. The fake batman didn't have a Robin (Burt Ward) or Batgirl (Y'Vonne Craig) with him. We will need more sessions. Take these 2 pills and call a duck in the morning. $100 please.

oh, gawd! there really isn't a batman? what the hell am i gonna do now?

no, that won't do. nothing will ease this terrible pain, nothing! it seems as though my life is over, oh! how i want to die!

But you ain't dead already, I think I know the reason why.

why is that?

i have nothing to live for. batman is not real, spiderman has left me, and i don't have mtv. my life is worth nothing to me. [sob, sob]

49ers season starts in 3 months

i really hope they don't suck this year. what the hell happened to my Yankees yesterday? oh gawd! [sob, sob!]

You should know better than to ask me that :->

The Yankess won tonight. @!#&*(%@":|+&%$#&! D#@$IT

[laughs, smiles, smirks. mets suck!]

[smirks at john's anger. ha ha! 2-1!]

was that meant to make me mad? it didn't.

No. It was just 3 games out of 162. The Skankies are going nowhere. Vladimir is Vladimir Konstantinov. 6 days after winning the Stanley Cup, him and a teammate were driving in a limo - the limo driver smashed into tree (he had a suspended license), and Vladimir has been in a coma ever since (it's been about a week).

skankees? oooh, John, you are skating on very thin ice.

I wish they were, so they could fall in & stop playing baseball.

ha-ha. that was verrry witty.

Thank you.

Tino Martinez is my favorite guy...

He's a very good player - I respect his ability, but I still hate the Stinkees.

Stinkees, huh? well, let's see. what rhymes with mets? hmm. oh, i know! the Jets! haha haha ha!

My favorite football team: lousy for the last 30 years, but on the way up!

Are you making fun of me behind my back ??? I'm shocked !!! Johnny boy, you spell Sweden wrong.

i'm shocked you think i'd make fun of you...you know i would never! jets?! on the way up?! ha ha ha!

By the way, I like your new groovy name....

I have this old antique browser. I can't see what I typed after typing it. I misspell lots of things. The Jets are on the way up - they're taking off.

xena and rainbow gave me the awesome new name. i like it. John, what? the jets are on their way up? just how well do you expect them to do? how much better than 1-11 will they do? c'mon.

I won't know until the start of the season, maybe 9-7. I'm following baseball right now.

you are thinking that the jets may pull off a winning record? ha ha ha! you're out of your mind, john. i think you're following baseball just a little too hard.

Well I will make 1 prediction right now - 6/28/97 - the 49ers will not be in the upcoming Superbowl.

that hurt, John. that really hurt. but allow me to make another prediction: the jets will not make it out of the bottom quarter of the nfl. they will not have a winning record. they will suck.

I have no BLOODY idea what you are talking about.

american football. as i recall, you don't like it very much. so then, let's talk about something else, but not hockey!

OK. New topic: What's you're favorite cheese? Mine is swiss. I love cheddar too.

Favourite cheese ??? Don't really eat any cheese at all, actually. You, Heather, I bet it's swiss.

LOL!! yeah, actually it is! john, cheese?! now we are officially desperate for conversation material.

Well, if one of you can think of a better one...........

Let's talk about movies !!! What are your favourite movies ?? I gues mine are the "Star Wars" trilogy and "Trainspotting"

I'm a Woody Allen fan - my favorite of his is "Bananas" - he has alot of great ones. Another favorite is "Mon Oncle" from Jacques Tati - a hysterical offbeat french film. Another two of my favorites are "Frank Zappa's 200 Motels" and "The Magic Christian." Both have Ringo Starr in them - the latter also with Peter Sellers.

i like Tom Hanks! i loooove Forrest Gump, i watch it very often. i also like the disney version of robin hood. even though it's a cartoon, it's still great! i also like Bonnie and Clyde, and of course! a hard days night!!! that one is great, regardless of the fact that i'm a huge Beatlemaniac! and i'm sure there's more...just can't think of them right now.

How could I forget "Hard Days Night"? "Yellow Submarine" too - an amazing cartoon film.

I love cartoons too, Heather. Mostly because I draw a lot myself. Tend to look at how they drew the people etc. I try to see Disney's movies, but i'm having a hard time getting people to go with me. they say i'm too childish. Ok, people want to go with me to the movies, but not that "childish" stuff. (Sniff) I can't even get someone with me to see "Batman And Robin" (sniff)

I wont go near "Batman & Robin" myself. I only like the funny Batman TV show from the sixties.

DO NOT waste your time on batman and robin. that movie was awful! i hated it!

Oh, i know that, Johnny. Ok, heather, i'll follow your advice and avoid it. (But I can't wait until the film about me (Spiderman) is released. And the 3 new Star Wars movies.)

3 new ones or the 3 reissued ones with the extra scenes? I heard it was a 9 part adventure and that the 3 existing ones were parts 4, 5 & 6.

3 new ones that is about before the current movies. Yes, the latest ones are part 4, 5, 6.

At the rate they're being produced, I don't think we're going to see all 9 on film in our lifetime.

There will probaly not be any parts 7-9 . Hard to find people that look like luke, etc.

He's probably an old fart by then. They could find a different actor. I think he's supposed to be a child in the 1st 3.

No, he gets born in part 3.

It shows how much I know - I never followed it too much.

It's ok. Kinda hard to know what the new films are about He is supposed to be born in part 3.

I guess parts 1 & 2 have to deal with Luke's father & Obi Won Konobi. They are the only 2 that would have been alive back then.

Yep, they are supposed to deal about Obi Wan's and Anakin's (later Darth Vader) friendship and about when Anakin turns into evil and joins the dark side.

I assumed they would have to explain all of that.

Actually, most of that stuff is explained in Part 3 (6).
