Split from: Sub-board
I have been lurking and really enjoying the associative thinking. Some great minds here, and to me that transcends the PID/PIA theme.
But, It's not like me to keep my mouth shut so here's what I have been thinking (and forgive me if you already have heard this).
1) RAM = WAR (which also goes back to the Imagine peace tower or is a war tower?)
2) There was some reference to the "Blue" something. To me Faul must be Blue and Paul Red because the Beatles "Blue" LP featured Faul and the Beatles "Red" featured Paul. In other words, Faul's Beatle ouevre can be associated with the color blue.
3) IMHO: Faul looks and sounds completely different from Paul. I have watched a lot of pre-1966 videos (not as much as you <grin>) but I am a musician, and I think Paul played bass differently.
4) I am a writer and I have taught writing, and again IMHO "Maybe I'm Amazed," while a great song (A GEAT SONG!) it is not the same guy who wrote "We Can Work It Out," and "Yesterday."
5) I never liked Heather Mills until I saw that video - she seems real to me
6) But the image and sound I can't get out of my head is Yoko with that sick laugh when she and John are in Bed in the Imagine video.
And here's my question: I am a friend of Bernard Purdie and I have recorded and played live with him many times (oops I should be put this in another area...oh well...too lazy :}})
In any case, to me Purdie sounds like the drummer on those records, and when I try to find video of Ringo actually playing drums with a second drummer, it's pretty rare. There are things Purdie can play that Ringo can't play. That's Purdie on Rock Steady by Aretha and on Home at Last by Steely Dan. It'd be scary to hear Ringo try that, but that's not the point of course. My point is that if you were going to hire a hotshot like Purdie was back then to play drums who would you get to create and produce the music? Beatle PHIL SPECTOR perhaps? Of course I am referring to the imagine video again...the scene with the 3 Beatles, Yoke and Phil.
Oh and Billy Preston and Purdie played together in the King Curtis band. Before he was murdered, King Curtis was working with John Lennon. Who knows what that would have turned into...
Anyway, thanks so much for the great reading material :}}
Love,
DrDan
btw, I didn't really bury Paul, that was "Pretty" Purdie <grin>
It's great to have you here, a musician is always especially welcome. You don't make your email address private, so I guess you don't mind my asking if you are indeed the Dr. Dan at that site? If so, I may have a vague recollection of that Cracker Jack commercial..
So... I'm curious, does the subject matter of this forum ever come up in conversation with the folks you hang with?
