MCCARTNEY MESSES WITH HISTORY
Paul McCartney has sparked another Beatles feud with the release of his live album, Back in the U.S.. Against the wishes of John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, the nineteen Beatles songs included on the two-disc set are credited to "Paul McCartney and John Lennon" rather than the traditional "Lennon/McCartney."Hey Paul, look I know it's your tour and all, but stop messing with history. "Lennon/McCartney" is how it has always been, it's accepted history, and doesn't need to be politicized all over again. He's dead and you're still feuding with him. Jeez.
"What he did was absolutely inappropriate," says Ono's lawyer, Peter Shukat. "John and Paul had an agreement. This is very petty." Adds Ono, "John and Paul often disagreed on which songs were written by whom. If John was here now, they could fight it out, or maybe they could never agree. But the important point is that John has to be here. He is not."(Full story)
