If "No More Lonely Nights" is the example of syrupy stupid lame cheesy pop, I've got my finger on SB ready to go.

All The Best should have replaced "My Love" with "Press."

Yeah but this is while i was a kid. In this post-Ariel Pink world where 80s cheese is fine, I find it much easier to appreciate.

Ariel Pink. In a McCartney thread.

OK, so I brought back Then Play Long 36 hours after saying I wouldn't; let's just say "popular demand" is responsible, but anyway: http://nobilliards.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/paul-mccartney-mccartney-ii.html

Don't take away your blog, Marcello, I've only just started with it and it's so great.

I was surprised how many people said that to me (but like you I myself am anxious to see how the "story" turns out)!

Those hit counts? I'm responsible for a lot of those.

I like a lot of this record, but I don't listen to it as often as I do other McCartney albums these days.

Ha, no way! Seems a bit weird to see 2015 McCartney (and his touring band) performing this song. It'd be great if he did a whole set of some of his more interesting post-Beatles numbers.

Actually really like that. His voice not being able to hit the high notes so much makes the chorus less annoying.

hey my parents were at that show. my mom hates that song, which is probably why it's taken so long for him to play it live.

IMHO, his last decent record, Chaos & creation... was made almost entirely by himself, so bodes well for me, perhaps.

agreed

I love that Get Back has sent all us ILMers to revive every solo McCartney thread en masse.

Picked up a vinyl Beach Boys Love You today, and upon revisiting I feel it is the Pet Sounds to McCartney II's Sgt. Pepper.

I wish paul would play “temporary secretary” live again. it’s great that he did it in 2015 but he may not know just how big it still is now. the people have spoken!

I’m told Paul bought copies of Love You to give to all his friends and his favorite song of all time is “Honkin’ Down the Highway.”

Naive Teen Idol, Friday, 13 October 2023 18:06 (six months ago) link

xp It looks like he played it one time in 2022, but that was during a VIP soundcheck set. Other than that he hasn't played it since 2017. I'm still futilely hoping he'll whip out "Secret Friend" one of these days...

J. Sam, Friday, 13 October 2023 19:14 (six months ago) link

secret friend is mr bellamy to temporary secretary's fuh you

weird spacey mccartney is so much more fun than creepy horny mccartney and I don't know why that song has caught on so much lately other than the wtf is this the silly love songs guy factor (which you can get with other better songs)
