[net.records] Paul McCartney

rao (12/31/82)

	I would like to hear peoples views on Paul's latest album
	"Tug of War", and on Paul in general.

ROLLING STONE gave McCartney's "Tug of War" five stars (almost unheard of)
and said it was destined to become a classic -- his atonement for selling out
music for pop fame, or something like that.  On the strength of their review
I went out and bought it, thinking it would hearken back to the best of the 
Beatles days.  Overall, I was pretty disappointed with it.  It's a nice little
album, occasionally musically interesting, but cursed with a lot of the same
mindless, commercial, pop-fluff that passes for music these days and that is so
characteristic of McCartney these past few years.
