He admits that they sucked in the beginning, but hints that they pulled it together and did something good. For what it was --arena rock-- you could do worse than Band on the Run.

I'm glad he's so frank about the drug use. It really demystifies things.

I swear, Paul's such an attention whore that he'll do anything to get people to pay attention to him. I wonder if he'll do another album of Beatles songs too.

Agreed. I was just being a dick.

Jesus...Paul's really starting to look his age. I'm a big fan of his work, but have always thought that his recent attempts to stay young (hair coloring, hip clothes wearing, young model marrying) have been bugging me out. I guess I'll get to enjoy this first-hand thirty years from now.

Also, "A Hard Day's Night" --> aspirin.
