If John Lennon was still alive...

[sysyphus]

Precisely the reason I consider it dead. It's over-commericalized, overtly popular, sugar coated, controlled by rich old white people, parodies itself, boring, dead.

Ah, I see your point.

Early Stranglers was very punk, how they got into easy listening I have no clue.

Too much "Golden Brown" (not the song) I think.

..He would be currently be 6ft underground, screaming at the top of his lungs.


Very very wealthy, with sprogs falling out of clubs with no nickers on.

This is stupid - but are any other beetles still alive?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

There are millions of beetles around, insects are very common. I don't recall Sean or Julian Lennon falling out of clubs sans-underpants either.

But, to answer your question once I had worked out what you were trying to say, Paul and Ringo are still with us.

if john lennon was alive today he would be dead.

If he was alive today, I would like his music less then.

Yeah, the best musicians tend to check out early.

I was going to say something very crass and harsh, but I don't really believe in what I was going to say and therefor withdraw the comment.

Paul is a very good musician. Just listen to Eleanor Rigby. He's just a bit of an arse that's all. Don't listen to The Frog Chorus though. I'm sure John's musical releases would have slipped a bit had he still been alive. Paul has written some symphonies though, which is probably quite clever. He also has perfect pitch!

However, I can never quite understand why Linda McCartney's veggieburger adverts had such a poor quality advertising jingle. (It was just " Lin-da Mc-Cart-ney").

Richard Starkey is still alive. PAUL IS NOT DEAD! (still...)

Paul's concerts are still good though. He plays all the old Beatles hits and some of his later stuff, some of which is OK. "Medicine Jar" by Wings is my personal fave for post-Beatles Paul songs. He does act like everyones embarrassing Dad on stage though with his peace signs and "cheeky" scouser banter.

Actually, I have a friend (actually a few, but I'm talking about one) who's been to 2 of them.

Another friend of mine says she was at one, and when the explosions went off in Live and Let Die, it scared the "heebee jeebees" out of her.

Is it just me or should it be: "If John Lennon were still alive..."?

C'mon guys if the English language is going to keep its subjunctive mood, let's use it the right way...

sorry just thinking out loud....

I've only been to 1 Wings concert (Liverpool 1980). I saw the Glastonbury footage and an American concert on the telly though. His act hasn't changed that much!

It was funny the concert I went to. He had a song "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" out at the time, it was December, but the fake snow started falling down during the wrong song.

He played lots of Beatles stuff, I remember (even though I was only 9 at the time) "I saw her standing there", "Hey Jude", I'm sure he played more.
