I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
He’s been a HUGE (too small a word) fan since seeing them on Ed Sullivan. Just like most in his generation. He was always a Paul guy. Which is interesting to me because they seem so similar as people. Both left-handed. Both guitar players that got stuck with playing bass. Similar views on most sociopolitical topics. (Pa Wease is NOT vegetarian, tho). He has always seen them as the geniuses they are. Read a lot of the books and such, but just in the little bit I’ve seen, it’s presented in sort of a different way. Almost simplistic. Like Spike said, their little band would write a little ditty. And while he’s always known that’s how the band saw it, it’s this presentation that kind of SHOWS how the simple ideas they had formed the songs. And it shows some of what gave them the simple ideas.epilogue wrote:Love to hear that. What was his take prior?
