Billy Idol

I think it's a psychedelic.

John Lennon always said it's Day Tripper again or something, or Ticket to Ride.

He said, you know, he's always, he said, Paul's just ripped me off again, you know.

He said what?

Well, because the riff in Paperback Writer, it's very similar to something like Ticket to Ride.

He said, it's Bull's just taken my ticket to ride.

I got to listen.

He doesn't mean it like he's, he just means he's replying to my song with a similar thing.

Because they're always replying to each other's songs.

You think?

John Lennon does Money on one album and then next minute Paul McCartney does Can't Buy Me Love.

So he's kind of answering, they're always answering each other.

Yeah.

But still, you know, he's saying money's what I want, and then Paul McCartney does, but it can't buy me love.

But now I'm going to re-look at, re-listen to all... It kind of goes on into even John Lennon's solo stuff, where in one of those songs on the last album, that Double Fantasy, he sings about things are getting better and better.

And you can't tell us that he's not thinking about getting better, you know, on Sgt.

Pepper's and stuff like that, you know.

Beautiful Boy.

It's one of those songs where he says, and it's getting better and better, and you kind of go, there has to be a retort.

Yeah, that's what brought everybody's faith in Paul McCartney back again when he did Band on the Run.
