So are the "Ticket To Ride" and "Eleanor Rigby" covers by Vanilla Fudge  8)

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Vanilla Fudge... uh oh, I FEEL A FLASHBACK COMING ON. (whoops) I like the unknown Iron Butterfly too. Those two bands- Sunset Strip- ahh, the late '60s...

Abstaining, because for me, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts (as was probably demonstrated by the subsequent solo careers).

Tempted to vote for the Rutles, though, as a dogged (slight joke, there) Neil Innes fan.

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

True dat. The Bonzo's were fun.

Anybody interested in buying Ringo Starr's artwork? He makes it all in Microsoft Paint.

Not me. All my spare change goes to Saul's computer art. Genuine graphic genius there.

That would be the "White Horse Galloping in Front of a Castle with a Snow Capped Mountain in the Background" genre?

Paul McCartney has since tried his hand at 'heavier' more higher minded musical things lets say (as a writer, not a player)

I understand that he still can't read or write music and has someone put together his ideas for him.  Well, you can do that when you're a multimillionaire.

I remember my piano teacher insisting that the Beatles do too read music.   What else was she going to say?

Karl Henning

What could be higher-minded than "Hi, Hi, Hi"?

No.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

If the money is going to a good cause, I won't sneer.

Don Van Vliet was a much more interesting musician-turned-artist.

Well, that is a point.

Was a time when people found artists with talent, and bought their canvases because they believed it was fine art.  I suppose we just live in a different day.

Maybe he should invest in a Macintosh.

The guy is a multimillionaire who never needs to work again.  He could afford a lot of art lessons.

He could even afford to buy his own productions and not give a damn about the economics.
