Re: Yoko's talent...I guess we'll just have to disagree there. I've listened to a lot of her music, and I never found it anything other than a painful and discouraging experience. That does not make me a misogynist or a racist. What a bunch of crap.
Of course it's silly to switch the order...AND petty. Neither of which make it worth Yoko taking it to the press.
And as far as Paul making money from songs that were 95% John, so what? We're talking about a song that was 100% Paul. Two totally different situations. "Yesterday" is unique in the Beatles' catalog, so trying to compare it to any of their other songs doesn't make sense. There was colossal ego involved in Paul asking Yoko if he could switch the order for Anthology--but also colossal ego involved in her saying no.
This is just two millionaires trying to stick it to each other via publicists. Such a non-issue it isn't even worth talking about. If saying so makes me a misogynist or a racist or a Mennonite, feh. So be it.
