I think I could live with the idea that McCartney's last album would have
been "Back To The Egg"....and that all the stuff he's been promising to put
into a boxed set would have finally seen the light of day as the bottom
scraping from handlers after one's death would be in full force (just look
at the toilet droppings still piling up from the Hendrix camp). Now that
he's spending all his time defending his empire from his ex-wife, it's
unlikely we'll see anything new, old or good from here on in.
And I've always thought that the most interesting person to have seen
evolve, had he lived, would have been Buddy Holly. I believe he would have
been one of the few people who could have gone toe-to-toe during the British
Invasion.....he was a studio innovator and the British sound would have been
a challenge to him. Few iconic American rock-n-roll pioneers survived the
trouncing post-1964.
