A bit over two months ago—October of 2018, to be precise—I was driving with the radio on, and I heard two songs played back to back. They sounded like they should be interspliced, as a conversation between the two singers. I created a post at that time, portraying the conversation, and describing it as “disturbing,” given the age disparity between the man and the woman. Imagine my surprise this week to find the two of them posing together on the cover of Rolling Stone. I will try to insert that picture [here]:

And here is a transcript of their songs, as they appeared on my blog two years ago:

WARNING! Some people will find this conversation offensive and disturbing.
Very disturbing.
Paul McCartney: I saw you flash a smile, that seemed to me to say
You wanted so much more than casual conversation
I swear I caught a look before you turned away
Now I don’t see the point resisting your temptation
Taylor Swift: This ain’t for the best
My reputation’s never been worse, so
You must like me for me
We can’t make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Paul: Did you come on to me, will I come on to you?
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
Taylor: Dive bar on the East Side, where you at?
Phone lights up my nightstand in the black
Come here, you can meet me in the back
Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you
Oh damn, never seen that color blue
Just think of the fun things we could do
‘Cause I like you
Paul: I don’t think I can wait like I’m supposed to do
How soon can we arrange a formal introduction?
We need to find a place where we can be alone
To spend some special time without an interruption
Taylor: This ain’t for the best
My reputation’s never been worse, so
You must like me for me
Yeah, I want you
We can’t make
Any promises now, can we, babe?
But you can make me a drink
Paul: If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
If you come on to me, will I come on to you?
Taylor: Is it cool that I said all that?
Is it chill that you’re in my head?
‘Cause I know that it’s delicate (delicate)
Is it cool that I said all that
Is it too soon to do this yet?
‘Cause…
Paul: Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do, do-do, do
Do, do-do-do, do

LOL! I think you’re a prophet, Salvageable! You sure saw this one coming. I used to like them both, but now they just creep me out. Maybe it’s the whole Hollywood thing that I just can’t stand anymore? Regardless, Paul was always my least favorite Beatle. A bit funny too, Taylor made her fortune singing about all her bad choices in men…and then went out an endorsed Joe Biden! All politics aside, just as a matter of principle we should probably just assume if Taylor endorses a guy, he’s probably all sniffy and skeevy. 🙂

I can’t say that I have a “least favorite Beatle’; but, in spite of their musical talent and attractive personalities, they all have made pretty bad choices in their personal lives. J.
