Yeah- and thank god they didn't listen to the geniuses on this forum who
wanted to hear "relay," and "naked eye" and "pure and easy"- despite my own
affection for these songs. Problem w/this defense of Macca is that he was
the only one to "misread" the audience. Every other premier act got it
right- all other criticisms aside. they played stuff the audience wanted to
hear. paul was only one to screw it up.
