Sam... rest easy... As big of a Beatles fan as I am, I think you hit the
nail right on the head... After "Driving Rain" I kinda shudder to think what
Macca might be recording in LA for release next year... I always harbor
hope, however for the LAST GREAT "Beatles" album coming from a solo
McCartney album one day... Dang, he should such energy in "Run, Devil, Run"
a couple of years ago; I'm sure he still has "it" cooped up somewhere... Oh
well, I went off track there... just to say I agree with your thoughts...
