Thomas said:
“He isnt even my favourite member of Wings.”
LOL a lot, and me too though, I’ve got a much warmer feeling about Denny Laine (the only other member I can identify .. oh no hold on, Sir Pauls late wife, rest in peace, with all due respect).

“paul 2007 is an obnoxious, MOR adult contemporary artist. like phil collins or something”

I agree completely. And (though I know I don’t know what the man is really like of course) he has always come across me as a shallow, even dishonest person. And a weak, nay boring personality (though not quite as bad as sir Cliffy (God bop his baloney).

If Paul asked for a ‘duet’ (which is what he says he asked for in the T4 interview) then it’s no surprise that Thom didn’t fancy it. The very notion of ‘duets’ conjures up Tony Bennett (who did one with Macca recently) and Macca’s case for one wouldn’t be helped by ‘Ebony and Ivory’ or ‘Say Say Say’ would it?

Paul should have asked him to collaborate on something funkier like one of his ‘off-broadway’ projects such as The Fireman.

Actually, if he’s asked the whole of Radiohead to collab on instrumental stuff that could have been ultra-cool although, let’s face it, they’re ultra-cool by themselves.

They did already work together on the Band Aid single, Thom on piano, Macca on bass – not sure if they were in the studio at the same time though…

I can’t believe that everyone is taking a ‘news’ story from The Sun seriously…

…but all I can think of is ‘Ebony & Ivory’…God help us all!

I bet Thom was being sincere.
I think it is an honor to be asked by him.
What would you do?
Thom was prolly shittin’ bricks
that Macca even asked.
Too unbeleivable I would guess!
Where would they even start?

In 66 Lennon languishes at home in a
haze and Mccartney seeks out Stockhausen,
Berio, William Burroughs etc, all much
older than him and working in a different genre,
but food and drink for a young man’s creative needs.
McCartney is a musician first and foremost and
with far wider horizons than Yorke (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Paul-McCartney-Avant-garde/dp/1903111366 if you dont mind challenging your preconceptions?) and a
major figure in British musical history. Cheesy? Yes. But a genius also.
Yorke, of course has an image he has to
to maintain – you can infer that
from some of the comments here. But Bjork and PJ Harvey, over
McCartney? No… I don’t think so.

Nice one Thom. Anyone of us here would’ve done the same thing. I still maintain my logic that the wrong two Beatles died.
