Identity McCartney
Dig the new William Merricle poem I posted in the Online Library today: Gather. Four more coming soon!
I found Paul McCartney's Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
around 2005. I've always gotten Paul's albums as soon as they came out — but this was the first time in many years that I was not only not somewhat disappointed, but actually had my high expectations exceeded. A fantastic album on many levels — I daresay one of my favorite five post prison records. Here's one song that shows why:
But that's not the song I started out wanting to share. Here's one I just discovered this morning — apparently it was a bonus track from Chaos and Creation, though it wasn't on the version I borrowed from the Westlake Porter Public Library and ripped to my computer in 2005. Anyway, though it's not as "perfect" a song as "Riding to Vanity Fair," I rather like it and find it fitting in the wake of the Identity Crisis video I posted on this blog yesterday.
Since 2005, Paul's created some of his best solo works ever (one of them under a pseudonym, The Fireman). I highly recommend all of these:

I'm not yet as enamored of the 2nd half of "I Want You to Fly" as I am of the 1st 3 minutes. Were it my song, I might have faded it much sooner. Then again, I'm not all that comfortable giving Paul McCartney advice on how to craft a song.

On Facebook, Christina wondered "why no haiku with this" -- so I just wrote a 17-syllable poem someone is sure to say is not a haiku:
McCartney
why no haiku here?
play the videos and hear
sir paul's high cooing.

You're a "Maverick", "Going Rogue" in the truest and best sense of those words!
(Can you tell I'm working hard at my new job? LOL)

I wonder if he was inspired by William Makepeace Thackeray's (hope spelled right) Vanity Fair. I think he employs the same play on words. An interesting choice for someone who is so talented in giving words double meanings.

Haha! Thank you so much, Tara!
And I'm glad your job isn't keeping you away entirely.

It's not keeping me away as much as it should. It's pretty damn boring.
