>>>BUT! we get that stooopid frog song, Ebony & Ivory (for which Stevie Wonder totally lost my respect, esp. after "I just called ..."), and other crass nonsenese like them. Then when he runs out of material, or appears on a multi-pop star extravaganza, he thinks he can wow us all with his R&R, and reverts back to the days when he thoughht he was Little Richard.

>>Well, I think Paul has EARNED the write to do children's songs, if that's what he wants. After all, he is a pretty good R&R musician and any other. Oh yeah, and I like Ebony and Ivory. Two great singers on that one. I'm just glad Michelle Jackson wasn't the "ebony" in the song. SW is a class act, the other not so much.

>But Makka did "Say, say" with Wacko Jacko

I can't listen to that. Jacko makes me ill, and always has. I guess it's the cop thing in me that told me he wasn't quite "right".
