I've been reflecting on whether my distaste for the guys' personality should get in the way of my appreciation of his music. With the exception of Band on The Run, & Wings Over America I've probably not paid attention to his output, and that doesn't seem right.
I think the extensive listening I gave to the Beatles Remasters box sets has brought a fresh appreciation of just how good a writer he was, & that it's time for a bit of a reappraisal.
You've motivated me to explore Macca again Crazyman, and I've spent the afternoon listening and reading reviews. Copies of Run Devil Run, & Memory Almost Full have gone from nowhere on the radar straight to ordered from Amazon, completely bypassing the Buy List.
Cheers, Dude...
