Same here.
I need to correct myself on something. I wrote, sincerely but mistaken,
that Albert Goldman attributed the change in the Beatles' songwriting
style to their marijuana use. No; Goldman actually wrote that Peter
Brown ascribed the guys' stylistic changes to pot. Goldman, in fact,
devoted several eloquent paragraphs to his own argument that the change
in style was due to McCartney's copping of black musical styles.
And he was right. McCartney has owned up to this -- to, e.g., his
efforts to play bass like "the Motown Guy," James Jamerson.
