I'd love to be as talented as some of the people I consider REALLY talented (Thelonius Monk, Joni Mitchell, Mark Eitzel), but I'm not. I still know the greatest marketing act of all time when I see it. The Beatles were a decent band who pretended to be something special. Great manipulators of the zeitgiest? Yes. Great musicians? No. Great songwriters? Maybe Harrison........

On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.

Paul has always been a bike nut, well known for it. Travels with a bike which he rides every day and I understand insists on riding before every concert performance.
He and his first wife sponsored a pro Bike Team for a while as well. Seeing him on a bike doesn't surprise me at all and given he takes one on tour - the fixie makes sense as there is less to get buggered up with all the handling.

Yes, WAS a musical genius. He is not anymore. Not by a long shot.
That freedom song is HORRID. I've heard Britney Spears song lyrics that are better than those. And yes, I realize she doesn't write any of them...
