God that just seems so fucking STRANGE with mccartney instead of kurt

Why were Paul McCartney and Kanye West in the video portion of this?

I've been meaning to give this a go, but my allegiance to the Mighty Boosh and Julian Barratt has prevented me from taking the plunge.

This is the Mighty Boosh version of when Lennon and McCartney separated, except instead of Lennon writing sanctimonious, self-indulgent wank-pieces, it's Noel wearing gold spandex and a cup on his chin, riding side-saddle on a shiny unicorn in fantasy land.

Well, I expected it to be complete rubbish, and ofc following China was always going to be a tough ask. Still, I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the Industrial revolution bit, the music was great. Great Ormond/NHS dragged on a bit and fuck me I wish they'd put Paul Mccartney out to pasture already. Another tired rendition of Hey Jude? I'd rather they'd given the mic back to Dizzy Rascal tbh.

So yah, some good, some bad.

Oh, and NBC didn't air the class Abide With Me bit because they didn't realise it was about the bombings? herp-derp.

Beijing may have ruined it for all future Olympic host cities, but that was the most boring opening ceremony I've ever seen. I kept switching over to "Deadliest Catch" repeats. And Paul McCartney? "I wonder if he'll sing 'Hey J...' yep, there he goes". At least the audience participation limits the amount of seventy year-old sour notes they are subjected to. Tell me that wasn't hard to watch. It was entertaining the way "FOX and Friends" is entertaining, or the way running your tongue over a painful canker sore again and again is entertaining.
By the way, Elliot finally came through and found the crab, to the relief of his crew.


Yeah. Meh for that one after seeing Beijing, China, in 2008 (why did the I delete my high definition (HD)'s recording?). The industrial revolution's ring forge was cool and nice bassy music. James Bond (007) skit wasn't that great either. At least Mr. Bean's skit was funny, and he should have been in the whole opening ceremony! Not enough special effects and colors!

Will anyone be able to 2008's summer game's opening ceremony? Oh well. Thanks goodness for recording to avoid watching 4.5 hours of it and its commercials/advertisements (ads.)/spots! What happened to Dr. Who (excluding the audio)?

Ringo has put on a few pounds eh?


Yeah, and he's gotten some sun.

there's some interesting backstory around what was going on in the studio at the time Dark Side was being recorded and these "interviews" were being held... they apparently got Paul and Linda McCartney (among others) to participate (since the Beatles were down the hall at Abbey Road recording an album), but they were unable to use any of their responses because, by then, they were already celebrities and giving guarded answers -- not the kind of raw reactions they ended up using for the final version of "Great Gig in the Sky"

I briefly thought Paul McCartney had written a song about testicles.

People can be a bit thick around here. Sometimes you have to spell it out for them.

If he had murdered McCartney instead, I'd vote for him.

Lol!


Why the sarcasm tag? Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

Indeed long live the Clash. My #1 music muse will always be Joe Strummer, followed by Lennon and McCartney. I was playing Supertramp's 8 minute long dirges on the piano back in 1980 until I heard London Calling and it totally energized me.

I saw the Clash at the infamous Bonds shows in June 1981 in Times Square, with Topper on drums. Hard to believe that was 30 years ago.

I wish I could find the skit where he played Sinatra on the "Sinead O'connor Music Awards" bit. I remember it was hilarious, Dana Carvey played McCartney, Alec Baldwin was Bono.
