Hey Jude - worst song ever recorded!
Yeah, well, Paul was the dorkiest of the bunch.
Then again, all artists are dorky.
Hey Jude - worst song ever recorded!
It wasn't great. But there was the James Corden Carpool Karaoke that I only ever saw on YouTube. And Paul McCartney surprised the afternoon pubgoers....as the curtain went back in the Philharmonic there was Paul and a band singing. The finale was when he invited James up to sing and everyone was singing Hey Jude. Very memorable and brought a tear to this scouser's eyes.Hey Jude - worst song ever recorded!
Wow, he does sound pretty rad maybe I'll give him another chance, because I'm good like that!I would’ve thought Bob Dylan rated non-dorky with you. He is, after all, 1. a Jew, 2. a supporter of the state of Israel, and 3. a convert to evangelical Christianity. That seems like a trifecta in your book. His singing, I realize, does seem to grate on some people, but Bowie (not a dork) appreciated his “voice like sand and glue.”
TotallyThank you for the second chance. I forgive you for calling me an edge-lord (if you were referring to me in the Drivel Thread). But maybe it wasn’t so malicious. I mean, if a person who crushes on serial killers and gets giddy thinking of the genocide in Gaza calls you an edge-lord, that’s almost a compliment.
Don't talk about my man that way!! He was ALWAYS cool!Just my opinion on the Dylan thing, but Bob Dylan as a middle-aged man in bare-armed sleeveless denim jackets in the 80s was almost the very height of dorkiness, and the music was awful too, so I don’t disagree with sea salt altogether. But mid-1960s I think he was impossibly cool.
Nice touch from OMD.
Asceticism is just another form of excess

I would say it's both - appreciation of peak 60s cultural figurehead Dylan and veiled criticism of the fact that, by the early 70s, he was no longer that person.It's actually not known if Bowie appreciated Dylan. It's not clear if the motivation behind Bowie's "Song for Bob Dylan" was appreciation or veiled criticism.

I’m going to see the Manics this summer, I’ll be taking a basket of rotten eggs to throw at the big lanky streak of piss.
I’m only going as Suede are playing too.
Not at the moment as it's sold out but hoping someone local can get me sorted.Yes I am 12th July. Are you at this one as well ?
Well if you do, let me know and hopefully we can have a couple pints
