[Ky Fried Redleg]

Heresy indeed. I’m a huge McCartney fan but Wings had their moments but it’s like comparing Mozart to Wham!

I’m sure I’ve told this story before, but Mrs. Tucker #1 and I went to the Riverfront Coliseum in 1976(ish) to see McCartney and Wings. It was a pretty good show but heavy on Wings and light on Beatles.

But, because we knew we’d get loaded to the gills on cheap ass beer at the show, some bad mescaline, and firing up some fat doobies, we stayed at a downtown hotel (I forget which). But, at the hotel room, I went to get some ice and met a pretty good looker in the elevator. Between floors 1 and 10, we talked and she asked me if I wanted some company. I realized I wasn’t dazzling her with my charms and that she was a working girl looking for some $$$ for a fast bj. My midwestern manners kicked in ano I said no thank you.

Roy is about 10 or so years older than Ky Fried, so about the only Beatles song I remember really listening to as a 6 or 7 y.o. kid was "Hey Jude," which I really liked. I think we all kinda have special feelings for songs and music we grew up with. I was a 70's child. Seventies music is my passion fruit. It's when I was a teen, starting liking girls, played Little League, first starting following the Reds. That's why I love that music so much. The Beatles were before my time. "Wings" came along when I really started loving music. I listened to it everyday on my little radio(until the Reds game started).

Give me "Band on the Run" over any Beatles' song..
