Thank you.

Enjoyed the discussion : my list #1 Band on the Run, #2 Ram ( which I loved the moment I heard it & never understood the criticism) and then either Venus & Mars or McCartney - with all the great solo/ Wings songs he has written, I am not sure any song is as greater than Maybe I’m Amazed especially the live version- and if we want to name one album in the last 15 years that stands out, my clear choice is New - a lot of really good songs that he still plays today including the single with honorable mention to Egypt Station.

As for the feminist side of Paul and his mates - many thanks for bringing it up here, guys, and have any of you read A Women's History of the Beatles by Christine Feldman-Barrett (2021)? A one great introspection, imho. (BTW, Rob's book is one of the many quoted there, and it makes it a great companion to the study.)

I'm really thankful for the justice for One of These Days - this is one of the most important of Paul's songs for me. I was so glad to hear a praise to it in Elliot's ranking and this is really satisfying to hear it again here!

Press to play that’s creative Paul

But Paul was the one who wrote Too Many People before John came back with How do You Sleep, is that not so?

At last someone has the courage to go counter culture and argue that Maybe I'm Amazed is a better song than Imagine. Musically in terms of melody, compositonal skills including arrangement, verse and chorus and construction are all superior to Imagine which quite frankly remains one of the most nebulous yet self-righteous songs of all time. Melodcially Imagine feels like a dirge to me, with lyrics that mangae to be preachy, condscending and self-righteous all at the same time. Now we learn the lyrics came froma Yoko poem. Maybe I'm Amazed is pop/rock genius with it's use of chromtic scales and the power of Paul's vocals is stunning. The triuble with pop culture is just that - popularity whuch has never been a great indication of what is superior in artistic quality and integral. I accept it all boils down to personal opinion in the end but if that opinon is based on fact, knoweldge and good arguement then that should be far more convincing then mass hysteria reaction. And no I am not anti-John. Strawberry Fields Forever, Norwegian Wood, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds are works of inate genius. It is simply imo that the horrid murder of John elevated a very ordinary piece of middle of the road ballary to some kind of anthem. It simply is a very average song.

Why is the pub scene infamous? I just watched it on KZbin and didn’t find anything really objectionable.

Jack seems to get the beauty ofPaul’s music, the other two, not so much.thx.

I like Driving Rain much more than you guys. Rinse the Raindrops is top tier, but too short. A bunch of skippers though, but I still put it number 12 of 25.

I was im my teens when Ram was released. Am I the only one who really liked it the very first time I heard it? Still my go to McCartney album in my late 60s.

Wow, what a gift! Thank you, guys!

He doesn't sound like much of a Beatles fan.

George Martin not George Leonard

Thank You, for brilliant round table, best company....best podkast ever! Xxx

now and then hasnt even been released when did this podcast even happen?

It’s all George for Elliot. Good bc he doesn’t get Paul, stereotypical showman to describe Paul, good grief.

This so cool to listen to you, guys! I'm so glad to discover this channel! Many thanks to Jack for inviting Rob and Elliot - so far, they are my favourite authors on the Beatles. (Even though or More so that) being a millennial from Eastern Europe myself, I truly enjoy your reflections on the impact of the Beatles' music on culture and on your personal lives. It helps me to process my own feelings too and to discover the new layers of meaning. Speaking of George, it's just a few recent years since I've rediscovered his music - specifically, All Things Must Pass, and this gem saved my life oh so many times since then (including Beautiful Girl and Dehra Dun!). And there is a continuous process of discovering deep (or not so deep) cuts - like Be Here Now, Try Some Buy Some, Tired of Midnight Blue, Just For Today, Circles, The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Thanks again for guiding us through his music!

33 1/3 have so many great songs! I also loved Brainwashed. I'd put that maybe 4 for me. 1) All Things Must Pass 2) 33 1/3 3) Living In the Material World and then probably Brainwashed and George Harrison.

Excuse gentle man, I talked to Eliot..❤

Where were You,..maaan! Missed You soooo

Great interview, enjoyable! Thank you!

True story: I just actually googled “The Hollow Notes” to find out who this band I’d never heard of was. I assumed John Oates must have been a member of this band before he formed Hall and…. Oh. Lesson: don’t read the subtitles.

I'm with John on the early Beatles. I just couldn't understand why they were such a big deal when they started. But by the time they got to Rubber Soul and Revolver, they got much more interesting. Interesting fact about Faster. George's self-titled album is my favorite Harrison album. Great stuff! It's so great that older musicians like John are so open to doing these interviews online. I've seen John talk in various online videos.

So true about Got my mind set on you not seeming like a George Harrison song. I heard that song as a kid and never realized it until I became the George fan I am now. Anytime I play it around people they say “I didn’t know he played this song”

Hi You did a great George podcast. My top 3 George Albums: 3. 33 1/3 2. Dark Horse 1. Brainwashed. In my opinion, "ATMP" would be hist best if it was just a single vinyl album. I never got into "LITMW" and "Extra Texture". The "George Harrison" album and "Cloud 9" are albums I really enjoy. All other albums are just mediocre. Honestly ... I listen quite often to "Electronic Sound". But that's just my opinion about George Harrisons albums. Take care.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think "Cloud 9" is his worst album ever (and I thought so when it was released, too). Slick, overproduced, bland playing, very bland songwriting, it is a perfect example of style over substance, except the style wasn't much more than typical late 80's product. It is his least idiosyncratic album and most anonymous album. Fewer than one in 20 fans agree with me, but some do get it...

Love it ❤it's a great job and fascinating discussion.

interesting episode. Much of the guest's information concerning Manson was erroneous and out-of-date. The recent and riveting book Chaos explains everything. Bugliosi made up much of that story and very successfully sold it to the American public.

1:02:43 1:46:50

this is awesome, bill wurtz is so genuine

Great show. Elliot can't half talk, but he does it so well. On the issue of the remixes, imagine if the purists won, and we could only be allowed to hear Caruso, as his distorted voice appears on an old scratchy, hissing 78 wax record?

Apparently, despite having been released on CD, this is so rare that Wikipedia doesn't seem to have any knowledge of its existence.

A year and a half is a legitmate relationship, not a "lost weekend". She has a life time of memories.

All I can say is that it all comes out in the wash and the truth is the only way to go

Very nice discussion on the early Paul solo career first formation of his new band called Wings. I loved the songs you chose for a few of your standout favorites from Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway and, also RAM. I call your choices well thought out and over the years playing those albums, I would agree with you whole heartedly. As fragile as the relationship between Paul and Linda, could not have been such a contrast of talent and fame, and yet, they molded which was definitely painful at times, but now, fans from a few generations since the 70's have seen a shift of great praise and adoration to the point of Paul and Linda equally share Stardom and Fame is a positive light as a couple "Together" and ""Terrific" from a leading edge of Paul and Linda advancement of new members after a three year span for the decade, the musicianship and song-writing giving Wings a cutting edge in pop music with awards and platinum albums in a wide range of themes and promotional records which brought success. new fame and much admiration with musicians who performed many of Wings songs as much as Beatles songs in some cases.

I lived in Adelaide when The Beatles visited and was hooked from that time on. Brought RAM grossly underated at the timewhen it first came out and Eat at Home is one of my favourite PM songs and I Will from The White Album, and it's brilliant Bass line 😊

Wow what a great interview , I'll never forget around '71 at 4 yo , yes 4 ! . I heard " I want to hold your hand " . everyhing my Dad was showing me about Johnny Cash went out the window ... don't be upset I regained my love for the man in black .. but the Beatles will always be #1

Enjoyed listening to this podcast. I’ve listen to quite a bit of May Pang interviews… She is very believable, and so is Julian Lennon. She does have a place in history. It’s good she’s telling her story to quell any of myths.

❤Absolutely amazing interview thank you my dear friend #LaurieJacobson

No George 😮!

Oh adorable Paul!!!❤✨

"I Will".... beautiful tune to get caught up in. This is a terrific interview in many ways.

McCartney❤

I like bill. But he needs to work on his public speaking abilities. 90% filler words

I am 20 years old, autistic, and a huge Beatles fan. They've been a very VERY special interest of mine for so long. ☺️🎶

I love Eliot he's so cool

He definitely would’ve been Pissed at what has been going on in the last decade or so.

...Dear George 😊❤😅...thanks...
