(page 3/ 6) ------ performed by John Lennon The anger wasn't permanent... | Reviewer: Kalamity | 1/7/08 Just so you know (and some archivist among you can look it up), Lennon later told a Rolling Stone reporter that he regretted this song, and that it was unfortunate that he couldn't just take it back. He was angry and he expressed it and was done. But the angry words kept going. He and Paul did make some sort of peace by 1980. I don't think any of us would want to be judged for a nasty hissy fit we threw years ago and then regretted. (As hissy fits go, this song is quite good, isn't it?) Wonderful. And they say Imagine was sugar-coated. | Reviewer: Thilian | 1/4/08 I really think Ari has it right. You can call John Lennon Godless, and he even stated the band's popular opinion as being greater than Jesus's. I think a God that can't keep his creations satisfied doesn't deserve to be defended whenever someone makes a sparse joke at His deprivation. Lennon's a pessimist and McCartney's an optimist, you can't expect them to get along always and forever. Lennon vs McCartney?hmmm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/2/08 I personally don't think that you can compare music and minds like Lennon and McCartney, as they are both so different. And to the person who said (as aimed at John) "how do YOU sleep at night now" I think that's a karma-less thing to say. John was a great influence, and I think even today we could use his genius. I honestly think that John's death is a HUGE global loss (even if he wrote angry spirited songs such as 'how do you sleep?'. Besides, only un-enlightened people can't understand his anger at the time.) About John's jealous | Reviewer: Pamela | 1/4/08 Some guy wrote down that Johnny was jealous about Macca´s pretty face ("John might have been jealous of that and the fact that Paul was so cute"), but that's a big bullshit, we all know that Johnny never cared about face's beauty, just remember Yoko's. Paul McCartney was common | Reviewer: SwingingOnAStar | 12/31/07 John Lennon was cute enough for sure. I’m not sure what the heck that has to do with talent. If you think about the volume of music that came from The Beatles in just 7 years of recording together it’s just an amazing gift to mankind that some of us were privileged to have lived at a time when we could witness this. To watch them all grow and evolve into maybe the greatest art of our time. Once they broke up Paul showed little or no talent at all. The man was a sell out. I’ll have to agree with the person who said “John was the genius of the two...Paul totally collapsed artistically after the break-up. just being close to a semi-god as John could inspire everybody, even a monkey to write a good song.” I’ve always thought that had John met Paul Simon instead of McCartney no one would have ever even know who Paul was, Just another pretty face. If Paul was really talented his career would have proven itself after the break up , but all he came up with was silly love songs. I venture to guess wouldn’t have even gotten any air time had he not been a Beatle. In my opinion Paul was a disloyal friend. Of course he later wanted to be the peace maker, as it should be. He should have been ashamed of himself. And very likely he couldn’t sleep. The last bit of trash he came out with (Dance Tonight) was so worthless it’s hard to even listen too. Paul McCartney was common, John Lennon was a genius Pure anger | Reviewer: Abraham | 12/25/07 this song was obviously done with anger and resentment towards Paul, I don´t see any merit in this song or the silly message on it, as we all know Paul never lowered himself making such a cheap and bad tasted song just to counter this attack from John. in fact years later it was Paul who tried to make peaces with John, because he really was his friend, unlike the Godless and hypocrite John Lennon. The Meaning | Reviewer: Ari | 12/22/07 It's a very interesting take on a relationship. I think that since Imagine came so soon after the break up of the Beatles that John was simply disappointed in Paul as a person and an artist. He never fully respected him for playing it safe with his music. I hate to know they didn't get along, but I get John. ok wow | Reviewer: DANA | 12/22/07 Paul and john were both GENIUSES!!! paul did write the song "yesterday" infact john even quoted, " Yesterday was Paul's baby..." and sgt pepper was also Pauls idea. Which beatle is better??? that really can't be answered factually, only by opinion. Paul is cute and john is witty and they are both ahhh-mazing artists. no arguments there bitches. A defence of McCartney | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/24/07 Previous posters have made ludicrous claims. Yesterday was written entirely by Paul, Sgt Pepper was conceived [as a response to Pet Sounds], driven and dominated by Paul. 8 and 1/2 of the 13 songs on it are McCartney's. McCartney dominated the A sides from 1965 onwards, and McCartney shaped the Beatles' creative direction from about Revolver onwards, when Lennon became less and less involved. At the height of the Beatles' experimentation, it was Paul who brought avant-garde influences into rock, and through his diverse compositions pushed the boundaries of rock. 'How Do You Sleep' did not reflect Lennon's attitude towards McCartney on the whole - it was written in a lot of anger. On the whole, they both had immense respect for each other, as reflected by their long and successful partnership in the Beatles [would John have stayed as long as he did if he thought so badly of Paul?] and his positive comments afterwards regarding McCartney albums like Band on the Run. wtf | Reviewer: beatles rock | 12/5/07 why is everyone fighting over which Beatle was better? you people don't have famous albums, you aren't famous, you're just putting them down because you can't do what they did in a few decades if you had all of eternity.
