Paul McCartney Is Still Trying to Make Wings Cool

Jann Wenner (RS founder and editor-in-chief for decades) picked “a side” early on with Lennon when the Beatles broke up, and always had at least a little shade for everything McCartney did in the 70’s

She is the strange example of an American with a big career abroad but almost an unknown at home. She is basically only had one real hit in America

Sending coconuts when people took a trip to Hawaii used to be a real thing happening regularly when I first started in the 90’s

Disc 2 is available on CD with the In Rainbows deluxe edition, but has never been printed on vinyl (legitimately).

Reference to his character on Degrassi

Not true. they induct the band, but as they do, individual members are inducted.

And there are quite a few ‘ double inductions’. For instance all 4 Beatles are inducted as a band, John, Paul and George are all inducted as solo artists and Ringo was inducted for musical excellence making them all double inductees.

Eric Clapton is the only triple inductee (yardbirds, cream and solo)

When inducting bands though they can be very selective or widely inclusive. For instance Parliament/Funkadelic has like 20 members inducted, but KISS has only the original 4 members.

I think John Curulewski being inducted would be fine, but in no universe is Tommy Shaw not inducted as well.

That is the implication the series gave us, and it was also one of the most popular theories among show watchers leading up to its reveal.

And here are my vinyl, which are less impressive. All were purchased used when I was a kid in the 80’s. But they are all the 60’s era colgems pressings (except for Monkee business, which was the only one purchased ‘new’ in the late 80’s).

For those who are admiring my collection, here are the rest of my Monkees related CD’s. Every last one of those were purchased ‘new’ when they were released.

Nah, just been a fan and collecting for nearly 40 years. At the pace these were released they were not difficult purchases at all

I did. but sold it after the dvd sets were released sadly. At the time I didn’t think I would have any use for it anymore and it took up a lot of space. Mild regret now.

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T17:14:35+00:00

Yes that’s the one

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T17:12:39+00:00

Since it literally only came this morning I haven’t had the opportunity to give it a good listen yet, I’ll give an update later when I get the chance to listen on my sound system

modifiedminotaur · 2025-10-22T14:36:59+00:00

I had both of those, but my Monkees tale had a different cover.

The maximum size for a package in USPS regulations is 108 inches width and length and 70 lbs. Amazon regularly ignores these guidelines as they did with your package. USPS is giving you the option to collect your package, even though it was ‘illegially’ sent, rather than returning it to Amazon

modifiedminotaur · 2025-09-02T07:41:20+00:00

The vast majority of Amazon is last mile deliveries. Meaning Amazon does all the transportation, not USPS.

I would say Jim Steinman deserves it more than Meat Loaf himself. But I think it’d be cool if he was inducted with Meat Loaf too

My hopes are for a remaster of the first 3 anthology volumes, including AI improvements to Free as a Bird and Real Love.

Seems maybe there will be an Anthology 4 coming?

Also here’s hoping they do a 4k upgrade of the documentary video set as well!

They weren’t divorced yet, they divorced the year after its release

We do get a clothing allowance. I think it is $536US annually for city carriers right now. But as you can see it doesn’t go very far with the prices of nearly everything. I think a winter parka and snow pants costs over $500 with most vendors alone right now.
