Paul McCartney - Freedom

This is my right
A right given by God
To live a free life
To live in freedom

Talkin' about freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Anyone tries to take it away
They'll have to answer
'Cause this is my right

I'm talkin' about freedom
Talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Everybody talkin' 'bout freedom
We're talkin' 'bout freedom
We will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
We will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Hey,
Do you know Scott Burns?

The Beatles were nothing special. Great PR guys, bandwagon jumpers, with a few pretty decent songs, quite a lot of very average material, and some crap. The same can be said of their solo careers.

If the Beatles were nothing special, then what does that make you??

Come on guys, concentrate on the thread's title (and purpose of this forum and others-bike issues not music). Look closely at the bike Sir Paul is riding. I seems to be a single speed rather than a fixie (note the coaster brake which is barely seen in photos). This is the second time he had publicly rode a bike for business. The first time was probably before most of you were born way back in 1965 for the film Help! The 2 bikes spanning 40 years apart even resemble each other. Catch it on the DVD version.

um, no.

john's 'plastic ono band' is as good a record as any the beatles ever did (and i'm a HUGE beatles fan). paul's first, and george's 'all things must pass' are also masterpieces. so poop to you, my friend!

did you know that there were two applicants for the position at the art school? egon schiele and adolf hitler. they took schiele and rejected hitler. if he could have raised the funds then the two would have been roommates.

Finally! Someone else sees it!

highpants 10-18-05 06:48 PM

oh, but no shifter.
