Absolutely!" so yes I wish I had made note of the pop sensibility of Paul McCartney to go along with my Lennon comparison. Any way you are right on. <br /><br />Mcaloon indeed has the idealism of Lennon and pop crooning abilities of one Paul McCartney. GreAt point.

I can <b>sort of</b> see the Lennon similarity lyrically (the idealism). However, musically he sounds like <b>Paul McCartney</b> all the way. The Broadway musical and Tin Pan Alley influences are there in spades.Audentityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571815335225025632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-68053998790558477812010-12-09T09:50:36.615-05:002010-12-09T09:50:36.615-05:00My pleasure and honestly most fans of Paddy McAloo...My pleasure and honestly most fans of Paddy McAloon understand where I'm coming from on this.

This CD by PRefab Sprout seems so positively fitting in spirit as a kind of contemporary kindred spirit to all of the wonderful words ever written and pronounced by the late Beatle through Music. <br /><br />Honest, unintentional, but really, so perfectly fitting if you ever heard this CD. Thanks again for reminding me of the fact it was this day John Lennon left our world, when he was so definitively changing the world with music himself.<br /><br />I think Paddy McAloon respects the spirit of that world view through his own song, just take a look at Protest Songs as another example and you'll see. Cheers for helping make this connection.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-27085021609636516602010-12-08T15:50:39.775-05:002010-12-08T15:50:39.775-05:00The post made for fun reading on this sad day.
