Still, I resolve to give it more chances. It's only been a few rehearsals, so the piece still has time to grow on me. At least we're not doing anything by Paul McCartney. posted by Trevor Murphy at 3:16 PM Silly. The classical things by McCartney that I've heard are quite better than "Il Sogno...

Had you said those identical words previously in print somewhere? Otherwise, you don't really need the quotation marks.

Cobain listened to the Beatles since his childhood.

So they came before the Smithereens influence.

I think Elvis is quite right.

Keith Moon congratulated with McCartney for his drumming on the whole Band On The Run album. As ReadyToHearTheWorst wrote McCartney played drums on his homonymous debut album also (as well as all the other instruments) - where the final track is an almost totally percussive and rhytmic track (usuall...

I think that All This Useless Beauty was about an experience he had in Italy.

I remember he even sang it like that in Rome, in front of an audience of half million people, during the yearly Labour Day gig.

He mentions that gig in the Extreme Honey liner notes, or one of those greatest hits.
