Whitefang Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 14 hours ago, sparquelito said: This is everyone's chance to sing the praises of Yoko Ono I will say this... From what I understand, there was a period in John's life where he was extremely self destructive. And Yoko was instrumental in pulling him out of that route. Essentially saving his life. Plus she is a savvy enough businesswoman to have kept his and their finances in good order. Sure, she can't sing. But neither could Linda McCartney. And John and Paul loved both of them dearly. And I never believed she "broke up" the band. The rampant egos of both John and Paul would have managed that with or without Yoko. Now back to the "come to your mind" portion of this thread... ...If sex is such a beautiful thing why do we insist on doing it behind closed doors and in the dark? ...Why is what's called the "Golden Years" covered with so much tarnish? ....What would sonatas, concertos, and other piano pieces sound like if it were possible to "bend" notes on a piano to begin with?

There should be a 'Piano Tuners Concerto'. Charles Ives missed a trick there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 And by the way(continuing the Beatles thing) PBS had the "Concert For George" on last night. I didn't notice it was going to be on until a half hour before it started. Great show. And proves what I've believed all along. That George was John and Paul's equal in the songwriting department. Only drawbacks were... 1. Dhani Harrison, an amazing look and sound alike of his Father, didn't do any solo performances of any of his Dad's songs. 2. I could have done without Paul's short ukulele driven version of "Something". And what an ending! Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have done without Paul's short ukulele driven version of "Something". And what an ending! Whitefang I haven't seen it. The Beatles solo albums to me proved one thing. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Together they made recorded music that stands 50+ years since it came out. The lads solo stuff for me is hit and miss. Mostly a miss. Paul's being the solo stuff I go to mostly. George all I can listen to is All Things, and a few songs off his other albums. Extra Texture, 33 & 1/3, Living In The Material, and Dark Horse all have moment or two. Ringo is a drummer and not a singer, well not one I enjoy hearing sing. He gets a pass on Octopus, and Yellow Sub, and did an okay job on A Little Help. I have Ringo and Vienna and there just not that great, and those are supposed to be his best ones? After John's first two solo albums I never really cared about his solo career. Live Peace is awful and Sometime in NYC is just almost unlistenable. Once again Phil Sector and his wall of mush had to put sappy strings on the song Imagine, instead of just letting John do it on piano. Edited June 16, 2022 by Sgt.

mihcmac Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Paul needed Johns lyrics, John needed Pauls arrangements. George did very well at both.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 And speaking of chords, why is "Major" the only rank among them? Why aren't there any private, corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain, colonel or general chords? And if there are "minor" chords, where are all the "adult" chords?

Whitefang Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 So, how many bottles of water does it take to fill a bathtub in order to take a bath? And how long to heat all that water until it's bath hot enough? Or is it you don't mind "cleaning" yourself with polluted water? 🤢 Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
