Book ,'Serenity'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I'd have to say George was my favorite Beatle.
t is alone in his Beatles love
ETA: I can't not love the Beatles. They had a profound effect on me growing up. I can understand indifference to their post-Beatles work, especially Paul's, but my Beatles love knows no bounds.
And I would say Paul's my least favorite Beatle, too. John, George and Ringo are hard to beat.
I love the Beatles, but as Fred notes their vast over exposure tends to dim the interest and excitement.
But it's still worthwhile poking through Paul's early solo albums for pop song genius. Even if his lyrics got increasingly pot-addled over the years.

That's what's really striking me about Dance Tonight. It comes pretty close to the best of Paul's solo stuff.

They've been playing one track on KFOG and the listener response has been mostly negative, dismissing it as too boppy and poppy and light.

They're aware that it's a song by Paul McCartney, right?
I could even forgive the overexposure if the same stations didn't limit, say, the Four Tops to "I Can't Help Myself" and "Reach Out, I'll Be There." Popular music may have peaked during the '60s, not least because there was so much going on in so many directions. And I get really steamed by the limits set by so much oldies radio.
And as much as I like XM's '60s channel, and as deeply as they dig into the vaults, it drives me crazy that they have to start off every hour with a Beatles song.

This is a fair point, Fred. And I've experienced it as well. I'm all for lots of different Beatles tunes, but to play those at the expense of the vast oceans of other great music being made at the time is downright criminal.
::clutches White Album to chest. and selects it on iPod::
Also, I think I've mentioned how much I love "Temporary Secretary"....
