'At the time, some observers such as Roy Carr and Tony Tyler of New Musical Express presumed the song was recorded by McCartney in response to the BBCban of his previous single, the political "Give Ireland Back to the Irish",[1] but McCartney has denied this, saying that it was a sincere effort...

I never understand people using these types of songs as a criticism of Pauls writing abilities. Most of them he wrote for a purpose, for example the Frog Song and Mary had a Little Lamb were written for Children not for music critics! The Beatles often wrote tracks like Yellow Submarine which...

And Brian Wilson has said that Rubber Soul inspired him to write God Only Knows and Pet Sounds. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/brian-wilsons-favourite-album-of-all-time-and-how-it-inspired-him/ So by default it has to be the Beatles!

Phil Spector's production didn't do the album justice and I much preferred the naked version that came out a while back.

Was last chance saloon slated? I loved the album when it came out and had some decent singles on it as well. Just reminded me to give it listen! I also liked Soft Parade and Touch me is one of my favourite doors tracks.

I went for lunch at Palmito a couple of weeks back, I went expecting something amazing based on some of the comments on here and I thought it was a bit of a let down to be honest. Seating was too cramped for my liking and felt almost like we were sharing a table with the couple next to us. The...

Yes absolutely, I think it would be great for democracy if sections of society that feel that their voices are not currently being heard had more representation in parliament, regardless of their views. Imagine some of the low calibre reform candidates that were thrown together to stand at the...

Where did I mention PR?

You are a dying breed though aren't you, as someone who is a member of one of the main two political parties. I think FPTP was better suited for the days when people had a strong lifelong allegiance to a single party, which was often passed down through family generations. Now there is much more...

I have to say I find your verment defence of FPTP at little bit odd. Surely everyone can see that the political system we have at the current time serves nobody's interests particularly well, it returns government after government that nobody particularly likes, and very few prime ministers that...

Someone democratically elected

I bought a Fjallraven Greenland Jacket a few years ago and its very durable, if it starts to lose its Waterproofing you can iron some wax in to it and its as good as new. https://www.fjallraven.com/uk/en-gb/men/jackets/winter-jackets/greenland-winter-jacket-m/ I re-waxed it and used it as my...

Price of food has gone up everywhere but exchange rate always has a big effect on how cheap things like food appear for us Brits when we go abroad. We would have got 1.70 euro for each pound exchanged in the early 2000's, 1.45 euro in 2015, in more recent years it's been more like 1.10 - 1.20.

If you get anytime to do something touristy take a wander around the lanes: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186273-d214950-Reviews-The_Lanes-Brighton_East_Sussex_England.html Wont be much of a football atmosphere around there, but plenty of pubs and places to eat both before...

I had one today, a couple of years ago it came up in conversation with a very good mate that we both have an umbilical hernia, at the time I thought that this in itself was quite coincidence! Anyway I eventually got around to getting looked at through my private health policy and today went to...

You know the bloke do you? Or are you just going on what the sycophantic boxing promoters have said about him on youtube?! Its not his money, he's just the face of the Saudi government who have given him a shed load of cash to push their agenda. Boxing has sold it soul again to the highest...

This looked like a great event but did anyone get the same uneasy feeling about it that I did? All this sucking up to an associate of Saudi Royal family and calling him ‘His excellency’, all the boxers and promoters with their heads up his arse. Topped off with turning Wembley green and singing...

Best legends gigs I've been to were: Macca at the Camden Roundhouse in 2007, I was down the front and will never forget the experience of being a few feet away from him when he played let it be on the piano. A magical experience for a huge Beatles fan! Cream at the Royal Albert Hall in 2005...

I have seen Dylan 3 times and it was exactly the same experience for me. The first two gigs I couldn't work out what he was playing apart from like a rolling stone which he did as an encore at one of the gigs and was brilliant. I just thought if I could watch him play a whole gig of songs like...
