Lesson 33: Lennon or McCartney / VIDEO Script

Al:
John, I guess that you were a fan of the Beatles when they were in their heyday.

John:
Well, not really, Al. I must admit that I was a bit of a cultural snob in my youth, and mainly listened to classical music. I did grow to love their music later in life. What about you, Al.

Al:
Well John, I was pretty young back then, but I did love their music. Still do. Did you read about the Rolling Stone magazine special issue devoted to deciding which was the most influential member of the group, John Lennon or Paul McCartney? They listed the 100 top songs and credited them to the different members of the group.

John:
Yes, I read that blog. The conclusion seems to be that Paul was rather under-rated by most critics who seem to consider John as the great songwriter. Yet Paul was credited with almost as many hits as John. This seems to be influenced by John’s less “Pop” style, and also by his early, tragic death.

Al:
I agree, John. Paul has carried on with his musical career long after the demise of the Beatles, which John could obviously not do. So what’s your opinion? Who do you think was the greatest Beatle of them all?

John:
I’ve always loved John Lennon’s music, even the albums he made after his Beatles days. What about you Al?

Al:
I like them both but I think Paul was the best. ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Let it be’ and ‘Yesterday’ were huge Beatle hits written by Paul and John is best known for ‘Imagine’ which I think he wrote after his Beatle days. But it is just great that they could do what they did. They truly enriched our lives.
