What Has Happened To The McCartney Songs?

[RhayaOnTheHill]

I personally like his recent albums theres a couple songs on them I don't like very much but most of them are as good as alot of songs and in Quebec he played Only Mama Knows,Mrs.Vanderbilt and Let Me Roll It which was cool also he probably thinks a bit differently and he can't keep writing the same kind of stuff all the time and he wrote alot of "nusery rhyme" as you call it type stuff back in The Beatles too and no one complains about that I think some really good songs off his recent ones it shows that he can still do different stuff I don't really get what your saying

Just so that you know - Ihave been a fan since I was 5, I'm now 45 and have most recorded material from Macca that I know of. My issue is that I do not have the last 4 albums. Why? - Because they are full of nursery-rhyme-style lyrics and have no real edge to them. The tunes are lame, the lryics are more like un-linked one-line statements and nothing seems to be memorable. When did you last hear a decent easy-to-remember tune of Macca's on the radio?

I am a huge fan and this may sound a bit negative and dis-respectful but, we all know what he is capable of. It's like he has been made aware that the stuff written post-Linda is not all that good and his touring schedule now consists mainly of Beatles and the odd Wings number. He is too good for that. Is'nt he?

I thought Flaming Pie was a wicked album but I have recently discovered that most of the material on that were old songs, recorded for that album at the time. Is it any wonder that he's now giving away his albums in national newspapers!

Come on Macca - get ya pencil sharpened and show em all what you can still do. You can't retire on the strength of the last 5 albums. We need another masterpiece. Not over-produced, not too slushey and certainly not too far away from what we have come to expect from you.

Deepest res pect and love.

Ian - I'll assume you're either - pissed, on drugs, going through a midlife crisis or had a family bereavement otherwise I cannot understand what the hell you're talking about.

If you've taken a rational decision on ignoring Paul's most productive period then you're missing out - leave the pre-convienced opinions at the back door.
