My Favorite Beatle (Part 3): Turn Me on Dead Man

So, the decision come down to John and Paul. To be honest neither is that appealing as a person. Lennon comes off as mean and sort of conceited while McCartney is just pretty stuck up. I mean I guess it is a good thing that one of the most powerful songwriting team was human. Bob Dylan still doesn't seem human to me and I have seen him live. Dylan was also mean in the 60's as evidenced by Don't Look Back, but it was cutie somehow when Dylan did it. Maybe Paul could have gotten away with it. John was also the bigger druggie. I am not sure how to feel about the whole Yoko thing. I mean it is kind of cool I don't dislike Yoko Ono, but there is this uneasy feeling that she used John Lennon to become famous. I am fine with people using other people. I mean it is not like she had mind control powers, Lennon had as much free will as anyone else does. I don't know I always though I liked Lennon better. He was he was a bit artier than McCartney, more abstract. But there is something that make me think that Paul's poppiness is still very worth wild. It was not that many Christmas ago that I realized that that one synthy X-mas song was in fact being sung by the same guy who sings "Live and Let Die". "Wonderful Christmastime" is a worse song than "So This is Christmas", so Lennon wins that one. I don't know the more I think about it I don't really have a favorite Beatle. But Lennon are much more the Beatles to me than the other two. They are different sides of the same coin. A beautiful love affair that involved two other men who certainly did there part. An Anti-Climax of blog posts, but such is life.
