Paul McCartney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia McCartney performed during the pre-game ceremonies at the NFL's Super Bowl XXXVI on 3 February 2002, and was the halftime performer at Super Bowl XXXIX on 6 February 2005. McCartney was to use his concert backing band in the studio but later, at the suggestion of Godrich, decided to play almost all the instruments himself, including drums, guitar, bass, keyboards, block flute, harmonium, and flugelhorn. McCartney famously insisted that his wife should be involved with his music — and later tour in his bands so they did not have to be apart while he travelled — in spite of her protests that she was not talented enough. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Paul_McCartney   (5491 words)

John Lennon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lennon lived with his parents in Liverpool until his father Alfred (nicknamed Alf, and later "Freddy"), a merchant seaman, walked out on the family when John was five years old (Lennon later met with his father during his musical career). Lennon would steadily grow to hate the conformity of art school, which proved to be little different from his earlier school experience, and ultimately dropped out. Lennon had a profound influence on rock and roll and in expanding the genre's boundaries during the 1960s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/John_Lennon   (4788 words)

McCartney, suffering from a case of the stage jitters, flubs his guitar solo on the song "Guitar Boogie".

Guardian Lennon and McCartney? Let it be Lennon and McCartney is still the rock 'n' roll trademark I'm proud to be a part of - in the order it has always been," he said.

Lennon stills sings to us Lennon had reconciled with Yoko Ono after a separation and was only then beginning to publicly emerge from a period where he concentrated on home life more than music. McCartney has spent years seemingly saying, "Hey, I was cool, too." Light was struck by how McCartney opens his current concert tour with a video reminding fans of his Beatles exploits, when the music can speak for itself. Lennon mocked Bob Dylan with a song, "Serve Yourself," when he didn't like "Gotta Serve Somebody." Few others today have the stature or nature to speak up with a contrarian word, and know they'll be listened to. www.thejournalnews.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051128/LIFESTYLE01/511280322/1031   (1445 words)

Boston.com Latest News Region McCartney, after 40 years of second billing to his late partner John Lennon, has turned the tables on his Beatles collaborator by reversing the order of the famous Lennon-McCartney songwriting credit. The back-and-forth continues a nasty feud between McCartney and Lennon's widow, Ono, who in the past accused the Beatles bassist of "opening a Pandora's Box" by changing the credits. No one disputes that McCartney wrote "Yesterday" by himself or that he was the only Beatle in the studio for its recording. www.boston.com /news/daily/17/beatles.htm   (571 words)

Amazon.com: Imagine: Music: John Lennon Lennon was writing structured songs and producing something cohesive, a sign that he would not forever be a rugged, tripped-out specter. The enduring legacy of John Lennon's best album has overshadowed a glaring historical irony: the Beatles' original architect was also responsible for some of the Fab Four's most erratic solo albums. Lennon wrote the title track, an absolutely perfect mantra that summed-up his idealist values in a single morning and recorded it in only two takes demonstrated that, excluding "How Do You Sleep?," his absolutely scathing attack on Mr. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000457L2?v=glance   (1497 words)

CNN.com - Encounter sparks a musical revolution - Jul 2, 2004 McCartney, who was well versed in popular music, impressed Lennon by teaching the band to play the Eddie Cochran song "Twenty Flight Rock." He also taught them the song lyrics to "Come Go With Me," which McCartney had studied mercilessly. McCartney, left, and Lennon pose for a picture in the early 1960s, prior to their first U.S. tour.

The Chemistry of Lennon & McCartney McCartney is a fairly common name, as is Lennon, and if you look in any telephone book in most major cities in the world, you'll find a slew of 'em. On a dank, blustery evening in October 1940 at the Oxford Street Maternity hospital in Liverpool, Julia Stanley Lennon gave birth to a bouncing bundle of boy joy whom she named John Winston. Almost a year before the sudden passing of Julia Lennon, a coincidental collision of cosmic proportions took place at St. Peter's Parish Church in Woolton Village. www.mccartney.com /ruth/chemistry/beatles.html   (1581 words)

BBC NEWS Talking Point Lennon-McCartney: Who do you give credit to? Their worst work appeared after the partnership foundered, and as McCartney produced marginally more rubbish during this period than Lennon, I'd have to say that Lennon, as a stand-alone talent, was the better of the two. I also think Harrison wrote the best of the Beatles songs, Lennon and McCartney were of equal talent in my opinion. McCartney is just another one among the burgeoning group of ludicrous, self possessed, wealthy folk of this world. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/talking_point/2588861.stm   (2216 words)

Paul McCartney Eventually McCartney brought Harrison on board as well (despite some initial reluctance from Lennon), bringing the Quarrymen three-quarters of the way toward becoming The Beatles. McCartney was the first of the four to be given somewhat of a 'solo' spotlight, the single Yesterday featuring a backing orchestra and none of the other members of the band; this song would eventually become one of the most covered compositions in popular music. In his early teens, shortly after the premature death of his mother from breast cancer, McCartney's interest in music became more prominent and he began making his first attempts at songwriting; it was during this time that he became friends with George Harrison, a schoolmate and fellow aspiring musician who shared the same bus route. www.nndb.com /people/070/000023001   (1887 words)

Joe Cocker covers Lennon and McCartney McCartney's original version was on his first solo album 'McCartney' from 1970 and Lennon's 'Jealous Guy' was from 'Imagine' 12 months later. Joe Cocker has covered many a Lennon and McCartney song over the years but for the first time is about to release an album with both a song by John Lennon and another by Paul McCartney. That same year, he also released his second self titled album and recorded another Lennon - McCartney song 'She Came In Through The Bathroom Window' as well as George Harrison's 'Something'. www.undercover.com.au /news/2004/oct04/20041010_joecocker.html   (248 words)

Rolling Stone : Buried Treasure The first thing McCartney played on the morning of January 3rd, while waiting for Harrison and Lennon to show up for work, was a solo piano stab at "Adagio for Strings," a 1938 piece by the American composer Samuel Barber. But they are a revelation: the sound of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr as ambitious, arguing, fatally human musicians, the four behind the myth. The project was McCartney's brainstorm, a back-to-roots campaign -- a return to touring and live, honest rock and roll -- that he hoped would reignite the brotherly fire of the Beatles' Liverpool days, of their electrifying shows at the Cavern Club. www.rollingstone.com /news/story/5939964/buried_treasure   (2911 words)

Being There Through the 1970s, one can say Lennon and McCartney were in constant competition with one another and went on to make music that was quite different than what they had done during the Beatles era. Whether Lennon’s Walls and Bridges is better than McCartney’s Venus and Mars is a matter of taste – both have their fans, and both are considered let-downs by others. After The Beatles ultimately broke up, we had to accept the fact that Lennon and McCartney would start releasing their own albums. www.beingtheremag.com /content/0503/adamm.html   (1138 words)

McCartney and peers still rockin' for the ages Lennon's dramatic martyrdom accelerated the too-easy conventional wisdom that Lennon was the brilliant, iconoclastic revolutionary, and McCartney the cute one who wrote pretty melodies and had a better head for business. Not long after that, Lennon and McCartney formed a quartet that enjoyed a fair measure of popularity in the '60s: "We thought the Beatles might last 10 years," he recalls. McCartney, after all, is the one who's served jail time for pot possession; who wrote the Charles Manson-inspiring "Helter Skelter"; who was the subject of one of the all-time Hall of Fame urban legends, the "Paul Is Dead" myth of the late '60s. www.rockymounttelegram.com /featr/content/shared/entertainment/stories/PAUL_MCCARTNEY_0920_COX.html   (1039 words)

Lennon & McCartney - Mersey Beat The Lennon and McCartney partnership is one of the most popular song writing teams in the history of popular music, although, for the most part, the great majority of songs they wrote individually. The two agreed that all income generated by any of the songs under the Lennon and McCartney banner would be shared equally between them. Generally, John's songs were lyric led while Paul's were noted for melody, although John was to disagree with this generally held opinion later on. www.triumphpc.com /mersey-beat/beatles/lennon-mccartney.shtml   (1090 words)
