It's odd that you would take him to task for championing the song "Freedom" when he so clearly was doing the exact opposite (in fact, when I originally read the article, I was somewhat taken aback by the snark of that question).

And I thought the interview was fine. It didn't reveal a new layer of Macca but at this point considering Paul has reached the twenty billionth interview mark, I don't expect revelations at every turn. I expect a somewhat interesting conversation, which is what I got.

By all means hate on PFork, but not for this.

A lot of passion, sure, but completely misdirected, plus timidity disguised as professionalism.

Besides, everyone knows Idolator's around to cull the herd.

Have to clarify one thing. "Freedom" is one of Macca's most reviled songs, which is the reason for the question - he pulled it from the setlist, and now he's decided he can bring it back, and I got him to explain why. The politics around the song are more important than its musical failings. Next time I'll spell it out more clearly.

But I'm surprised by the apocalyptic tone of this post. I know you're building a case here that the major print mags are failing, and the online sites aren't filling the gap. One question: how does Idolator help? You've got bucks and contacts, I hear you can write - why not file more stories? Is filling your Gawker blog quota on snarky posts and links to other mp3 blogs really going to turn the industry around? Say what you will about my work. But you're the one linking to me.

And by the way, you missed my column last Friday - how about we get the link up this week? This Macca thing's already a month old, so let's see if we can tighten things up.

Those "Love" ticket sales must be really tanking to get Paul and Yoko in the same room...

The PF interview was dull but I thought their bringing up "Freedom" was meant to be kind of backhanded or an attempt to bait him into admitting how awful it was.
