I have trouble with Woman is the Nigxxer of the World, it's a fantastic song, up there with John's best post Beatles but I can't get with the N word, it totally disgusts me.

I'm going to vote for McCartney's "Freedom." Not a defence of "WitNotW," just that "Freedom" is fucking insipid.Flex wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 4:28pmEasily the most misguided song in the Beatles-affiliated catalog, right?coffeepotman wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 4:24pmI have trouble with Woman is the Nigxxer of the World, it's a fantastic song, up there with John's best post Beatles but I can't get with the N word, it totally disgusts me.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
It's weird, because I see this sentence citing a Macca song, but my brain short-circuits whenever my eyes look at the name. The only way that could happen is if McCartney released something so mind-bendingly stupid that I reject it from my own sense of reality. And what Beatle would do that?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 5:14pmI'm going to vote for McCartney's "Freedom." Not a defence of "WitNotW," just that "Freedom" is fucking insipid.

For my money the actual Beatles song that is he hardest to listen to is "Run For Your Life," since it's a perfectly catchy song about threatening domestic abuse sung by an accused domestic abuser.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
I can't for the life of me understand how anyone, even at the time, in the Beatles camp thought that that was appropriate for a pop song. Worse, as far as I know, it didn't cause a ripple of criticism. Say that kids find you more appealing than Christ and people go apeshit; record a wifebeater jingle and it's business as usual.

That song is somewhere beyond "misguided". Yeah, that one went into the bin of unlistenable misogyny some years ago for me.

Dirks went on to say, however, that there still hasn’t been anything made that is nearly as pioneering or essential as 1996’s Turn the Radio Off by ska band Reel Big Fish.

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
Kind of a free-for-all final class today, in which the opinion was proffered that the Beatles weren't very good technically and that we love them only because it's heretical to say otherwise. More so, it was said that Ringo wasn't a good drummer. Which made me think of Wolter's great line years ago about how if you hadn't drummed for the Beatles, just shut the fuck up. I thought about throwing that out as a counter, but figured it was over the line and just arched my eyebrow.
