So a half hour snatched for some squib here or a leisurely day or weekend permitting some more ruminative piece there (either also depending on mood, the weather etc) - well, surely that's the nature of the game. It's free, it's fun and occasionally informative (sorry Pismo!) and it's in the nature of internet reading - you skim it, enjoy it (or not - though usually I do) and you move on to something else.<br /><br />What you *don't* do, or shouldn't, is misrepresent the contents of this blog in a way that will put future readers off and above all you do not threaten the blameless blogger - though quite how you intend to "delete" his three years of writing I don't know, unless you think that by putting your hands over your eyes it will just go away (I used to think I could do that too, but then I was only three years old at the time). <br /><br />And to say that Pismo isn't appreciative of music or the people who make it is - if I may borrow his device from the above post - WRONG! I'd say he was deeply appreciative, in fact. Look at the study of Stand By Me and that superb last line:<br /><br />"And as he finally sashays into the darkness with the ghost of those long-ago-learnt Atkins moves, I salute him and return his thanks."<br /><br />I mean, that is a kind of poetry, however you slice it. Okay, some posts are more light-hearted, and maybe, as "Mumbled Sour Speech" puts it (did you change your name to Leitch and have a busy day, Sir?), a few give the impression of being more or less dashed off, but for me I quite like not really knowing what's coming next. <br /><br />What I do know, however, is that I will usually get something out of it, be turned on to some music or artist I didn't know, or be forced to reassess something I thought I knew. And c'mon, with the McCartney thing he puts in a clip of the song at the end, and that's the point, isn't it? This Macca trifle can withstand anything. You ever read The Pooh Perplex, Ms. Rigby? Thought not. <br /><br />More power to ya, Pismo - may your witterings and insights continue to combine in these pages. I feel I'm on a long journey with you - even if the standard of the buffet varies alarmingly! (joking.)<br />B.D.

There is zero appreciation of music in any of the posts I have read here, about *any* artist, just excuses to make puns and jokes I can only assume the writer is deeply insecure and inadequate in some way but this is the kind of therapy which should not be made public. If I want to find out about Pauls songs I will go to his own website in future. Respectfully suggest you go suck an exhaust pipe and stop writing about things you have zero understanding of if you write one more word about Paul I will have this blog deleted and I can do it <br />E.L.N.R.

Too much ...Sorry, but it's just not very funny. Too much straining for effect and who breaks a butterfly on a wheel? (to coin a phrase) Paul knew exactly what kind of song he was making and he made it well. Just seems odd to turn your venom on such a blameless piece of work. Whenever I hear it I smile - maybe you should try listening to it with your heart for once.<br /><br />Sorry, I don't mean to be critical but it reads like something you've dashed off - those long posts about Jake Thackeray etc are much better because they read as tho you put some care into them. On the other hand I'm reading this for nowt, so continue to do what you want, but maybe posts should come with some kind of grading or warning: "may contain traces of student humor" etc. On reflection maybe not feasible but there is a definite variation in quality of post and perceived application on your part, if you'll forgive my saying so, squire.

I have seen McCartney play twelve times in the last two moths and each time he has always given hundred per cent - FACT. This lousy excuse for a blog picks at Beatles or Barry Manilow or whatever, but what is it puttin in their place? Absolutely d-mn all, as far as I can see. Other bloggers write about something but this joker spouts all this cr-p that wouldnt have been funny in a 1950s copy of Punch. And he says John Peel wasnt funny?? Peelie was a comedy GENIUS next to you, and he gave something to society. Away and crawl up your own metaphor. You make me sick and Paul will shrug you off because he knows he is doing something, still writing. Your schoolboy witterings are less than nothing, and that's compared to the lousiest album track or B side that Paul ever made. The day you write something as good as Wild Honey Pie then let the world know. Until then, keep it buttoned you LOSER.<br />Alan Clarke (no, not that one)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518649431129525958.post-56142083779394336592013-02-05T14:51:02.307-08:002013-02-05T14:51:02.307-08:00HA HA HA CLASSIC!

If you had one iota of his talent you wouldn't be spending all day blogging. By the age of thirty he was a multimillionaire; you, I suspect, are eking out a miserable existence avoiding doing anything worthwhile. The blog posts I have read suggest a life of utter bleakness.
