"our versions have done alot less damage to the world than real snobbery and class warfare"

So what?
We were talking about a couple of musicians.
I suggest you get over whatever it may be that was in your background that you are still carrying around.
Working class credentials?
You sound like some of the university socialists I used to meet who thought solidarity was moving to Hackney.
Keep it about the music, mate.
Pretentious? It's Macca who has written the "oratorios".
If that is the sort of thing that might qualify him.
It's Macca who wrote Give Ireland Back To The Irish.
Whereas Lennon wrote songs like Imagine... while buying up a building facing Central Park.
You can pick holes in any musician's politics, but so what?
They are not the ones wiping unions from our societies or dropping bombs.
Stop the 60s' fascination with songwriters as leaders and philosophers.
It's old hat and it didn't work.
