My first music download ever...and the reasons are twofold: McCartney and U2!

This is especially interesting, given that none of the Beatles catalogs are available for (legal) download.

Paul: I think it's very low on the list of favorite Beatles songs.

My personal favorite, by the way, has always been "Happiness Is a Warm Gun."

I love "For No One."

I think McCartney now makes more of his money from non-Beatle stuff ( land holdings, artworks, etc.) than he does from Beatle stuff...sobering...

I think I read somewhere that Zak Starkey's daughter is a drummer, thus making three generations of Starr drummers...

But the question remains: is the U2/McCartney Sgt. Pepper's any good?

Lindsey: I know the Breeders version. I like them a lot.

Miklos: I'm glad you survived to tell the tale of "Yer Blues" being your favorite.

Scipio: It sounded very close to the original to me.
