Review about Too Many People Inspiration for the Lyrics | Reviewer: John Hood | 5/1/09 This song was on "Ram" as has been noted, one of the first records I ever had given to me by my parents-my late brother and I listened to it over and over again on a little "Viking" (Eaton's house brand) mono record player. Years later, just before he died, my brother showed me a collection of short stories by the classic author Roald Dahl-I asked him what was notable about it, and he directed me to the titles of the first two stories in the collection-they were called "Piece of Cake" and "Lucky Break"-I instantly saw the connection to the song lyrics. So it was my brother's contention, and mine as well, that McCartney had obviously been reading some Roald Dahl stories and liked the rythm of those two phrases together, and it must have triggered a thought process about how his ex-partner (Lennon) had broken his lucky break in two. If I ever met McCartney, the first thing I would want to ask him is if he ever liked to read any Roald Dahl stories. Inspiration can come from anywhere, but if you want to write sonfg lyrics, other authors are not a bad place to start... Simply put. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/08 Aside from all the theories of who this song is about and John this and Paul that, the song is simply awesome, great tune Paul's voice is awesome on this one (as his vocals usually are) powerful song man! This is one of my favorite tunes by McCartney / and yes.. it has some very interesting lyrics aimed at John. "She's waiting for me" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/28/08 This is one of the songs that really set Lennon off, provoking his over-the-top tirade of "How Do You Sleep." The final dig that made Lennon go nuts was the "she's waiting for me" line, and maybe for good reason, since McCartney has stated that Yoko first approached him, almost to the point of stalking him, hanging outside the front of his house, and he dismissed her, only then she went over to stalking John. He didn't just happen to meet her at an art show. That was a lie. This all ties up one of the reasons for the beatles breakup, as will as big reason why they never got back together for anything. If you think about it, we have two best friends, one of whom rejected the other's, as it turned out, wife. That can create tension in a friendship, especially with the little tagline at the end of this song. Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/18/08 the song was actually a dig at John Lennon, how his career was a lucky break and he broke the lucky break (the beatles) in two, it was one of the first songs that started the musical feud between lennon and mccartney, lennon responded with How Can You Sleep At Night (another great tune) Significant song; significant impact | Reviewer: Remy DeTata | 3/12/08 This song served as my central mantra as I transitioned into my teen years. Only 10 when it was released, I immediately related to the song's promotion of self-awareness and self-realization. This song's call to seek out one's own way in the world (quite Neitschian, I now know) and just follow the crowd still resonates strongly with me and, like so many of McCartney's other pennings, provides comfort and strength in "times of trouble." Perhaps if Too Many People hadn't taken gluttonous home loans, we wouldn't be in the housing/mortgage/economic crisis currently crippling the nation. Then again, when haven't Too Many People done one thing or another? McCartney at his best! | Reviewer: Kari McWest | 2/2/08 This song opens one of McCartney's most important albums (to me, anyway), "RAM" (1971), credited to "Paul and Linda McCartney". It opens the album with a strong beat, with fine lead guitar by Hugh McCracken and Paul's obviously-Rickenbacher bass work and acoustic drive at the intro. It is expertly honed yet has a raw edge to it. Listening to this track (and the entire album!) with headphones illustrates Paul's understanding of how stereo should be used. Just as "McCartney" was recorded at home and (almost) all alone, "RAM" has a similar feel in spots. Linda's background vocals are also great in this song, and even though she was often criticized, it fits well in Too Many People. The message of the song is direct and to the point: "There are simply too many people doing and saying too many things and to that end I really don't give crap." This is exemplified near the end with "This Is Crazy And Maybe It's Not Like Me". It was originally slated as a single but was later relegated to the B-side of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey (some copies are double a-sides), Macca's first big hit, even after both Harrison (My Sweet Lord; What is Life?) and Lennon (Instant Karma; Power to the People) had successful singles, as did Ringo Starr with "It Don't Come Easy".
