I didn't get any of that out of that quote. I'm thinking a remake of Drive My Car would be a bit too much like repeating Little Red Corvette. Songs he could kick ass on: Come Together (he'd blow MJ's version outta the house!) I Love Her A Day in the Life Lady Madonna (I've always thought a remake of this woulda fit into the SotT album) Lovely Rita Something Got to Get You into My Life | |

But it's the first Beatles album to contain a song with a female lead vocal. The vocal is Yoko's and the song is The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill | |

I Want You from the Abbey Road Album. Imagine Prince singing this song playing guitar (Jimi Hendrix style)... That would defenetly be a nice (live) cover 
Listen listen... can you hear it? | |

The White Album has a few disposable songs (as do most double albums) but is, overall, an INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, JAW-DROPPING collection of memorable songs. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince | |

I didn't get any of that out of that quote. I came to that conclusion because he's so obviously lying about never having heard the song. Why else would he do that? "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

Well Yoko, that says plenty about taste.... I agree totally with wasitgood4u: I read (I think in RS) that P claimed he'd never heard "While My Guitar" till he was sent the tape to prepare for the Hall of Fame gig. What is that arrogant BS???? What, he called an album "The Black Album" but never heard "The White ALbum"?

It sounds like he was hinting he only listens to Black music, like the Beatles aren't worthy of him devoting time to listen to. What an a-hole!!! What, is he denying their undeniable influence on him, now??? Fuck, his label's called "Paisley Park" for fuck's sake! Totally fucking arrogant: he maybe one supremely talented mutha-fucka, but he sure can be a completely arrogant wanker when he wants to be: His finest musical period without a doubt (85-87) was HUGELY Beatle influenced - no questions asked (and if it was because of Wendy and Lisa then bring them back! Cos if listening to Sly, George, and Larry is responsibly for utter fucking crap like the dry-arsed, over-extended shite funk jams like New Power Soul then he needs to get back to the wider world of music that made him interesting and innovative in the first place). If he would only look beyond the played out black 70's R&B and teach himself some real Musicology (go wider in terms of influences as he once did back in the 80's) of the past he could become truely interesting again. A master and genius live he may well be, but boy its been awhile since he did something really exciting on record. What's that shit he says on musicology -"don't you miss the feeling music gave you back in the day". then he goes on to lists off some irrelivant 70's funk tracks (before complaining, think of the overall worldwide musical picture, people) - I mean the song itself is tired, played out funk. Unfortunately he's done a complete reversal from when he was the innovative forward mover in music (ie the minneapolis sound, using keys instead of tired-arse repetitive played out horns). What happened to the exciting, invigorating, refreshing musician he once was? Anything fresh and new now is scorned upon and mocked, anything pushing the boundaries (as he once so gleefully and brilliantly did) is looked down upon. On record he's become the sort of old-school, complacent, conceited veteran he once made irrelevant (effortlessly gliding by on a wave of refreshing enthusiasm); and now he jumps on that old patronising bandwagon of "i've been there, I've grown, I've learnt from my mistakes, they're wrong, i'm right". Funny, when I hear the line "don't you miss the feeling music gave you back in the day" - i dont think of the tired 70's funk shit he's refering to, i think of the '80's genius who totally reinvented the sound of music.... Ironic, huh? | |

Well Yoko, that says plenty about taste.... Yoko Ono's double album "Approximately Infinite Universe" contains much finer crafted, more memorable songs than the White Album. I stand by that. | |
