today, june 4th, 2023, marks what would have been the 70th birthday of one of the most underrated musicians and guitarists of the 1970s. forced into show business at a young age, jimmy mcculloch blossomed into an incredible performer and guitarist, influencing many during and after his time. he was an actual child prodigy and probably one of those troubled genius types. he was a quiet soul who had a dark side, which i think he was absolutely entitled to given the nature of his start as a performer. it strikes me how we have never existed on the same planet at the same time, yet jimmy as a musician and as a person has touched me and so many others. his emotional playing and singing cut right through to my heart every time i hear a clip of him. happy birthday jimmy mac. i can't believe it would have been 70 years. i can't believe we still don't know what happened to you. i hope someone somewhere is smashing cake in your face. i love you.

wings being short for “on the wings of an angel” has the same energy as queen being short for “her majesty the queen”

sir paul.

i have loved you since i was about seven years old. i used to record your songs off of our stereo onto a tiny voice recorder, and i still think beatles songs sound better in stereo. i know you’d disapprove. as a child, i loved you the most out of the beatles, who were my favorite band (other than frente!). now, it’s still true.

i think it’s the heart in your songs. even though not all of your music is about love, it still comes from a place of love—of your love for avant-garde writing, for storytelling, for making people laugh. you’re an entertainer; it’s what you were meant to do. i think i can relate to that a little bit.

sometimes i feel like i have too much love in my heart. i think you feel that too—the constant urge to express it, even for a short-lived fling or casual friendship. your gratitude for life and for other people is not a press façade, it’s genuine. so genuine that it hurts and has led to hurt and in a world full of hate, it makes sense. but you’ve never let it falter, which i think is the most admirable part.

the first solo song i heard of yours was “uncle albert/admiral halsey,” from RAM with linda. ironically for today, it was played for me by my father. I was told that it was a wings song. i still strongly (perhaps too strongly) stand by the fact that RAM is not an early wings album, despite the fact that denny seiwell played the drums on it. other than “smile away,” RAM feels like pure mccartney (and i’ve written this before)—experimental yet simple, cheesy yet poignant, angry yet kind.

those juxtapositions are why i gravitate toward solo mccartney work these days. the beatles were a group, an intertwining of four brains. it’s hard to tell who added what and who got rid of what and who changed what and it’s endlessly impressive. i adore it. but with solo paul work, it’s a mystery on what you’ll get—and it all came from the same person. it’s enigmatic. and wings—i know you’ve forgotten them, but i sure haven’t. wings were fun because they were silly and unhinged and casual and unorthodox. and their music contains so many forgotten gems.

the commonality between all three, of course, is you. the way my life has changed while listening to your music has kept me tethered to you. i can listen to mccartney songs and be sad, mad, happy, silly, anxious, in awe, calm, tired, energetic, or all at once. i can listen to mccartney songs over and over and still be able to do my favorite thing in the world, deep analysis. and i know i’m not the only one; sometimes i wish i weren’t so deep into the macca bootlicker rabbit hole because it’s a constant echo chamber of “paul is the greatest,” but what can i do? to me, as much as i hate celebrity worship, it’s true.

happy birthday, polie mac. tell nancy i said hi.

[jaytalksmusic]

happy 50th birthday to the best wings album and one of the best albums of all time. red rose speedway i love you with my entire heart and soul and body. shoutout to big barn bed, little lamb dragonfly, and single pigeon for being my favorite songs in the whole wide world. nothing will ever top this masterpiece!!

[wrote this the day he passed but i never posted it lol]

Brian Frederick Hines, probably better known as Denny Laine, lead guitarist and core member of my favorite band, Wings, has passed away. Ever since I learned of Denny’s health issues earlier in 2023, I’ve been anticipating this, but it doesn’t make the news any less shocking. Denny helped created some of my favorite music in the world. His boisterous charm, loud personality, soulful voice and musical talent will be sorely missed in this world. I hate the fact that I had to wait for this to happen. I wish I could have gotten into Wings just a few months later so that I wouldn’t have experienced this news the way I did. Rest in peace, Denny 🕊️

[jaytalksmusic]

does anyone know who did the guitar solo at the end of nineteen hundred and eighty five :3 if denny did indeed play it, it is one of my favorites he’s ever done

[jaytalksmusic]

rest in peace, jimmy mcculloch. 44 years ago was still too soon.
