No one but me likes Starting Over, I think it's a totally ace tune.
No, I like it. I would have liked to see him do more in that soft fifties rock 'n' roll style. Was a good fit for him solo.

It's pleasant. Good enough to be a single, but in the scope of his work it's slight.

Maybe lyrically slight but a melody to die for imo.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I also like it. I really like Double Fantasy...even most of the Yoko tracks.

Very much like it. I would never and have never changed the station when it comes on.

Love his take of Be-Bop-A-Lula, the original is great and Lennon's version is a hell of a lot of fun.
