I could happily slap Corden's face in a door (by the jar) endlessly, but what a wonderful man McCartney is. Elton happily insults people non-stop, spends his money on obscene acts of gratuitous superiority, and he gets a relatively easy ride in the British media. McCartney gets unbelievable flak. If ever there was to be proud of a UK musician, he's the one. Great talent, great attitude.

Yes, great talent, lovely man and never forgets his roots. Its great to see him go back to his old haunts, its just a pity he is with that annoying twat Corden.

This is the man that wrote Penny Lane, Let it be, Hey Jude, blackbird, and many others. I really think that he and the Beatles aren't lawded enough.

Gosh yes. Wouldn't you think they'd have at least been given an award or something?


Oh wait...

How the heck did Corden get fame ?

He is a jolly good actor. I liked him in the series about the fat club.

They were all great, but McCartney was so crazily musical it must have bred tensions. I mean, when George wrote Taxman, Paul was quickest to come up with the guitar solo - the band's guitarist could only look on while the bassist nailed the guitar solo on his own song. Then in Back in the USSR, it was McCartney who played the drums and played the guitar solo. Phenomenal. Him and Brian Wilson, you felt you could have just left alone in a studio and they would have come up with something fantastic.

Each to their own. I can't stand the man only famous due to his weight. Look at his early roles the podgy kid that was bullied.

Best late night host for me was Jay Leno till the bastards sacked him.

I havent seen Corden's version yet, I am not that keen on him.
I really liked Jay Leno though. What did he do to get sacked?

He didn't get sacked, he retired. Corden hasn't taken over the Tonight Show - Jimmy Fallon replaced Leno. Corden replaced Craig Ferguson on The Late, Late Show.

Jay was fired but the network covered it up well.

We all know that programmes have a left wing agenda. Jay would attack anyone from the left and right.

"Jay"?? Are you a personal friend? Leno was/is a very good middle of the road stand-up comic,hardly Lenny Bruce! He messed up the career of Conan O'Brien, dug his heels in on The Tonight Show, ratings fell and he jumped before he was pushed. And he wasn't sacked.

If you say so.

Decent chart entry for Egypt Station, with a very good campaign. Top class album, too. 'Dominoes' is superb.

There's a track that's only available as a bonus somewhere or other, it's called 'Nothing for Free' - I LOVE it. Perfect for Strictly I think, but who knows if it will happen. Everything's a legal minefield these days. But what an earworm.

Number 1 album on America's top 100, beating Eminem. Amazing feat for a 76 year old!

It is outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
