Forget everything you've ever thought about her.  The 'RSG' performance was good.  Cook and Moore were on and were embarrassing.

Embarrassingly, I can't remember.  It was more the musical backing that struck me.  It certainly wasn't 'Alfie'.  A bit earlier perhaps.  Sandie Shaw was also on with 'Girl, Don't Come' (another mildly erotic memory of mine).  I'm pretty sure Georgie was on, too.

No - forget I ever mentioned it.

I can't focus my feelings about The Beatles. I feel many contradictory things. I kind of agree about Lennon, a tedious, arrogant, rather unattractive man, certainly from '67 onwards. I have little time for them post-Revolver. McCartney though I think is much more interesting. He dabbled with art, was openly aspirational, always intellectually curious and open-minded and stuck to his principles. He sent his kids to the local state school for God's sake. One of the richest men on the planet. Who, in his position, would do that today? Shitty old Weller sends his kids to private school the fucking sell-out. And McCartney's commitment to vegetarianism is hugely admirable. Musically though forget it, and as for clothes - aach, let's not even go there....

g.g.

Paul and George, right!!

John Lennon's only bonus is the early but not so timely death... bah... rock mythology....
Ringo's bonus is what? the lack of intelligence, his tasteless rings... nah... but he kept a steady beat.... the Sgt. Peppers' reprise break is an early hip hop classic from the block parties...

Haven't heard Beatles stuff for ages... A Hard Day's Night, Help, Rubber Soul and Revolver and some obvious 45s such as Daytripper and Paperback Writer were often on my record player... growing up with the red and blue compilations...

Come together has a nice bass line, and there's some more good stuff on Abbey Road... The White Album is at least two times too long, Obladi must be Paul's worst song, at least it is not state of the art blue beat sound of the period... at that time.... generally, I agree about too much pretentious stuff starting with "Sgt. Peppers LHCB"....

Cilla Black was hugely overrated, usually by herself......
