"You're either a Beatles man or an Elvis man"
"You can like both but you have to like one more than the other"

"I'm an Elvis man"

(paraphrased from a scene cut from Pulp Fiction between Mrs. Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega )

and I'm an Elvis man myself


Ah ha ha about the Mars bar story
I knew the Mars bar story was credited to a Jagger thing but liked to work it in here

There is no denying the Beatles were very talented but I don't care for them musically at all (even though Back in the USSR was the first song I ever heard use guitar distortion on purpose). Comes to guitar players I prefer Harrison to Lennon

Ennnn ... if you mean McCarthy was (one of the) the most successful songwriters of the last century commercially, maybe so (How commercially successful was Micheal Jackson?) but for me it leaves me limp - except for some of the early Wings stuff (Medicine Jar, Soily, Jet and so on). I mean think about "Silly Love Songs" - need I say more, let's not even consider "Ebony and Ivory"


As for concerts, I've seen a lot of great shows
Saw Guns-n-Butter in a club that held 2,000 before they were famous and you could walk right up to the stage,
Saw Zeppelin (even though I'm not a fan), The Stones, Zappa. More shows that I can recall. Somewhere I have a ridiculous stack of concert stubs dating back to 1976 - Couldn't have paid me to see a Dead show
About the only person I haven't seen that I would like to see is David Bowie
