I was walking downtown today coming back from the fish market. I was looking in the windows of stores and this caught my eye:  Denny Laine? "Oh my," I thought. Whatever is Denny Laine doing in the incredibly small town of Maynard, Massachussets? So bizarre. The venue is a 5 minute walk from my house. 10 minutes if it rains. I'm wondering if I should be creepy and ask the creepy questions... Probably not, but maybe I should ask to do an interview minus the creepy stuff. That being said, can I get help with potential questions? This is BEYOND weird. EDIT: www.eventbrite.com/e/summer-concert-with-denny-laine-tickets-17816506651 Just additional "proof" |

Hi seasaltcaramel, try these on him. Maybe you can read his reaction to them more so than his words. He'll probably not tell the truth either way.
"Mr. Laine, how were your years spent with Paul and Linda McCartney and if you would, please tell us what were the contributing factors that led up to two of the members of the band leaving the group right before heading off to Africa to record the album ?".
"Mr. Laine, in all the years you spent performing and recording with Paul did it ever occur to you that the man that you were playing with may not be the original Beatlemania era Paul McCartney ?".
I can think of many other questions but I think by the time you asked him the second one he'd end the interview and walk away.

Or you could just reassure him by saying: "Don't worry nobody cares about that "Paul is Dead" bullshit anymore because the earth is flat!" |

I intend to record it, assuming I can make it happen. |

Clare Kuehn and I saw him in Allentown last year. He still kicks arse! By all means, GO now! I'm very interested in asking questions, but unfortunately the only things that comes to mind are, 1) "So, Manson would only allow the Family to listen to The Moody Blues & the Beatles. What did you think when you first heard that? What was it about the Moody Blues? Is it weird being associated with both groups?"Far too creepy. 2) "So what IS the lost chord and don't tell me you don't know. I mean, I know already and I know you know, too. Just tell me so I know you know... No, you won't tell me? ... Okay, I'll say a note, then you say a note, and we'll go back and forth that way. That way we aren't breaking the oath. Sound good? Yes? B flat... Come on, Man, this only works if you go along with it... No?!? I only have 4 questions and you're going to like the next two even less. Fuck I'm rambling, Man. What? I know this is the worst interview ever but... You what? Okay, I'm going home, bastard. Wings sucked anyway."Far too silly and progressively aggressive. |

Denny Laine - Talk To The Head (Released on Wizard Records) " I've got a scar
From when I crashed my car." The "Chinon Parchment suggests that the Templars did indeed spit on the cross," says Sean Martin, and that these acts were intended to simulate the kind of humiliation and torture that a Crusader might be subjected to if captured by the Saracens, where they were taught how to commit apostasy " with the mind only and not with the heart".Similarly Michael Haag suggests that the simulated worship of Baphomet did indeed form part of a Templar initiation ritual: The indictment (acte d'accusation) published by the court of Rome set forth ... " that in all the provinces they had idols, that is to say, heads, some of which had three faces, others but one; sometimes, it was a human skull ... That in their assemblies, and especially in their grand chapters, they worshipped the idol as a god, as their saviour, saying that this head could save them, that it bestowed on the order all its wealth, made the trees flower, and the plants of the earth to sprout forth." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet |

Wings (Denny Laine) - Again And Again And Again
"Winter time is coming now
Gimme a sign if you can somehow.
Make it clear where you're heading for
Will I see you someday at my door?
Taking it all into consideration
Love's a game I never win."

Denny Laine - Ghost of the Scrimshaw Carver.*
"Landlubbers have awoken me
releasing of 'me spirit from the bottom of the sea
where 'me bones have laid since 1883
I'm the Ghost of the Scrimshaw Carver.
"As a cabin boy aboard the "Ocean Spray"
out of Liverpool we sailed to Baffin Bay
'cross the Greenland Sea for to hunt the mighty whale
"Hold steady there the beauty blows,
bring her 'round to starboard and steady as she goes"
and me old "Sea Daddy" taught' me all he knows.
I'm the Ghost of the Scrimshaw Carver
"Over there she blows" I heard the look-out say
"Off the starboard bow not a half a mile away"
and the sea turned red as we took his life that day
With whale blubber a needle and a stone
I carved a pretty picture on a piece of whalebone
for to make some pennies for 'me family back at home
I'm the Ghost of the Scrimshaw Carver
The harpoon missed it's mark
a great whale stood his ground
making his escape he dived and pulled us down
all hands on board were lost and never found."
Denny Laine
* During the introduction Denny mentions this was written with a friend that worked for Peter Asher of Indica Books.

Below the Waterline
a tribute to PM
"True or false right or wrong
A beating heart still going strong
The memory is all we have
Sometimes we cry and then we laugh
And far below the waterline
Out of sight of prying eyes
We see the world is doing fine
Without the need of a disguise
On the surface it may seem
Like a twisted mixed up dream
And words can't say the things we mean
So look below the waterline
Who would know and who can say
We can't go back to yesterday
We had to turn our lives around
Bury the past beneath the ground
And just below the waterline
Our reflections go floating by
Waiting there for the sun to shine
Through the clouds in the sky
Did we make it to the shore
Or sink down to the ocean floor
Were we lost for evermore
Far below the waterline*
We only see the mountain top
But just like time it doesn't stop
Beneath the waves it goes for miles
Beyond our tears hiding our smiles
Down below the waterline
Depending on how deep we dive
Although it may be hard to find
What we had is still alive
Some might say it makes no sense
Revisiting our innocence
I put it down to experience
To stay below the waterline
Win or lose sink or swim
That changing tide keeps rolling in
Where does it end or begin
Down below the waterline"
Denny Laine
* Does anyone understand Green Language anymore?

Wings - Deliver Your Children
Well, i was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So i took it to a dealer
I said make it run
Well, i ain't got no money
But i got me a gun
I said you robbed me before
So i'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track
Well, i ain't no devil and i ain't no saint
But i can tell a dealer by the colour of his paint
