In reply to the discussion: Natalie Maines: 'I Was Right From The Beginning' [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)7. I know. no spec.
BTW-Paul was the great Penny Lane. John Was Strawberry Fields. John was free as a bird.
Both their names were contractually on their songs, but unlike say Bernie & Elton, it was not a joint collaberation. Each gave their songs and the final was picked.

Paul was silly love songs, what's wrong with that
John was smarter All you need is love and Give Peace a Chance and practiced what he sung and was the People(and because he was regular people he died walking when he could have driven in and had the gate shut).
George was the piece of the puzzle that kept it together and their spiritual leader
Ringo was just Ringo.
But this is not about the Beatles. Only an analogy.

This is what "needs" to be done. Maine's timing is perfect. I see where some are dissing her
