Mike Scott

WE WILL NOT BE LOVERS by #TheWaterboys from the Netflix series #SomethingVeryBadIsGoingToHappen, killer new 2026 mix hot off my mixing desk and streaming here: open.spotify.com/album/0zwry26A…

@Bell_O_The_Brae @SIRJOHNREITH He was known to sing Hey Jude and Get Back.

@MickPuck @SIRJOHNREITH The only Beatles (McCartney) tune I could ever picture Elvis covering 🤔

From the high hill of hindsight, Macca's Let It Be is a far superior song, musically, lyrically, emotionally, to John's Imagine. Come to think of it, it was better back then too.

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #105 Richard "DNV" Sohl, pianist with the Patti Smith Group. He was their musical soul.

Morning spring chickens. Welcome to Liverpool!

@Jeffreyhbaird I think his singing on Jealous Guy is beautiful!

@MickPuck Good point. It was much better than Lennon. I also wish he hadn't sung it. His great ballad voice (Hide Yer Love Away, Norwegian Wood) was gone, damged after years of rock shouting. But thanks. I've heard jazz musicians make interesting chord substitutions.

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #104 There were 4 big bangs of rock: 1955 with Chuck, Little Richard + Elvis; The Beatles 62-3; the self-referential era starting in 69; and 76-77 the bang that tore it all down and built from the wreckage. This bloke was its harbinger #SexPistols #SteveJones

@rjportsmouth42 He will not. Hi to L.

hi @MickPuck … Lottie sends love. Wondering, will Barny be with you during the Fisherman’s Blues Shows? Best to you man .

@Jeffreyhbaird The piano was played by the magnificent and incomparable Nicky Hopkins. Lennon couldn't play like that.

@MickPuck I really did not like Lennon's voice or piano playing on that song. Cover versions are much better, often jazz performers. Imagine is inferior to Revolution.

@ElMystico That's a very fine song

@MickPuck I think My Valentine will live on.

@Marc_Fagel @SMTaylorauthor 😀👍

@SMTaylorauthor @MickPuck I spun up Dennis Hopper at the gym just last week!

@SMTaylorauthor @Marc_Fagel Ha ha! Yes I have plenty other stuff to do.

@MickPuck @Marc_Fagel Maybe you could do a covers album Mike - potentially great McCartney songs edited and re-structured, to realise their potential. But I guess you're rightly too busy harnessing your own creativity!

@SMTaylorauthor @Marc_Fagel I agree. All strong melodically.

@Marc_Fagel @MickPuck Side two has good songs - 'Some People Never Know" 'Tomorrow' and 'Dear friend.' I think they could have made it on to a Beatles album - and sounded even better with the help of GM and the other Beatles.

@wordscryer Indeed

@MickPuck I like Imagine for what it is...but then John undercuts its message by including How Do You Sleep? on the same album. No 'brotherhood of man' there

@Marc_Fagel @SMTaylorauthor Yes. Dear Friend could have been a fabulous 4-minute song.

@MickPuck @SMTaylorauthor It was so frustratingly inconsistent. I adore Ram, and think London Town & Back to the Egg are underrated; but can barely listen to Wild Life or Red Rose. A brilliant songwriter in need of someone willing to say "maybe work on this a bit more, Paul."

@SMTaylorauthor @Marc_Fagel Especially in the song structures. Paul missed the editing the others and Grg Mrtn would provide.

@Marc_Fagel @MickPuck I do love Ram - it's fanastic. But there are already some signs of the lack of quality control that would blemish all Wings albums - probably the result of too much marijuana and not enough critical judgement (which the other Beatles provided.)

@IBHough It's the truth for you and your taste.

@MickPuck I said John was brilliant. He was always my "favourite". But one day I grew up and realised the truth. "Band on the Run" is a stand-out masterpiece, as good as anything the Beatles ever did. Not sure John managed such a solo effort.
