As some of you Beatle posters might know I petty much use this news
group to support John & Yoko and to have fun putting down McCartney and
his wife Heather Mills. Truth be told I know Paul is gifted and its his
business who he sleeps with. One of my favorite beatle songs is "let it
be" with "fixing a hole" right up there. So you should not be suprised
that last night when watching "The Late Show with Craig Ferguson" my
mouth dropped when Ferguson suggested Paul McCartney was "mentally
ill." He was interviewing Bob Spritz about his new Beatle Biography.
Not only was I angered but I will not watch his program again. You see
its one thing to mess around with Paul on a news group to which less
than 500 people are registered-its quite another to mess with a gifted
man's reputation on a broadcast reaching millions. John Lennon once
argued that it was one thing for him to be critical of the Beatles but
he would not stand idlely by as Mick Jagger made glib pot shots at
them. And this Paul basher feels the same. I hope David Letterman calls
him into his office soon..

Mr. Galloway, I think your judgment of Ferguson based on his interview with Bob Spitz is very shortsighted.

Craig was asking about the rumors of mental illness, attempting to clarify what he's heard. That doesn't mean he hates Paul. That doesn't mean he was maligning Paul. He was looking for answers.

Mr. Galloway,I've sorry you feel that McCartney was attacked. I took it not so much as he was mentally sick, but that he'd had problems in his life, as everyone does. Events leave scars, and it's these scars that cause artists to rise to their greatest talent. Truthfully, I don't think anyone could or would harm the reputation of such a brilliant artist.

Gosh..I feel like the veil has been lifted and I've been exposed for the pathetic old geezer I am who lives vicariously through others while eating my stale crackers..I think I'll log-off and cry now..

erm, conan o'brien is god.

Um, I thought that was in reference to John Lennon, not Paul McCartney, and I recall Spitz referring to Lennon as a tortured soul.

Yes, I watched the program and the mental illness reference was with regard to John Lennon. Something about manic-depressive or bi-polar disorder. Basically, the author's point was that Yoko Ono worked very hard to protect John during these dark hours which greatly strained John's relationship with Paul...Yoko even turned Paul away at the Dakota door when he came to visit once...Imagine! (pun intended.)

Pay attention folks! If you're watching Craig you need to be on the ball to capture all his brilliance! :)

Conan is god? C'mon...don't be such a cheeky monkey!
