@essjayjay @Black_Flag I agree re Billy Paul version of Let 'Em in. Much more powerful when repurposed in that way. He' s very stop start in the 70s. 80s much more a dead loss bar McCartney II.

Ebony and ivory go together in perfect harmony....

@HannahHowe @essjayjay I guess a lot of creativity emerges out of pain. Not essential but it does often seem, at least in the music world than originality rarely emerges out of increased comfort and wellbeing. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule.

@essjayjay @Black_Flag Yep. Great album. Wish they'd de-Phil Spector it.

@emsquared @essjayjay I think many creative people have a high degree of sensitivity, which helps them to channel their creativity. I’m not sure that it’s essential to produce works of art in any field, but for some that sensitivity is evident.

@Black_Flag Certainly justice is kind of served as Here comes the sun is often the most streamed or oft cited fave Beatles track. He really had to fight hard to be taken seriously within The Beatles for solo work as submission (hence all things must pass having such a glut of unused material).

@essjayjay @HannahHowe Ah thanks. Sadly very true. Beefheart held his band prisoner and treated them appalingly and yes their behaviour isn't called out in any way the same. Dusty suffered a truncated career just for standing up for what she wanted I feel.

@HannahHowe @essjayjay A good observation. In Bowie's case his best work declined the moment he got his teeth fixed (joking but it does line up). To be serious his best work, by his own admission happened during his darkest personal period though he did produce great work after a lot of those demons were resolved and he was in a much happier place (mid 80s aside).
