Rock nerds everywhere were devastated today at the news that the long-rumored musical meeting between Paul “File Not Found” McCartney and Thom “the extra ‘h’ is for handsome” Yorke is not happening:
Paul McCartney was desperate to collaborate with Thom Yorke—but the Radiohead star turned him down. The former Beatle claims Yorke rejected an offer to work on an album with him—because he wants to solely concentrate on his band. McCartney says, “…I asked Thom to do a duet, but he said he couldn’t because he only felt happy working on his own and Radiohead’s material.”
… or so he says. Yorke’s refusal to cooperate with Operation Pauljuvenation could also be due to the following factors:
Although these two musical giants were unable to come to mutually agreeable terms at this time, plans are under way for a second, less publicized collaboration, between Thom Yorke’s singing garbage-man and Ringo.

Gladstone,
Though we share a deep knowledge and therefore I assume love, for the fab four, seriously? The walrus was Paul. John may have sung the lyric ” I am the walrus” but I’m sure you can grasp the concept of a story telling / 2nd person narrative. Also, the video shows Paul in the walrus suit and Lennon in the eggman costume. Furthermore, if John Lennon tells you it was Paul, just bloody believe the guy. And one last thing.. Drugs. I know stating these things pretty much makes me just as bad of a ’smartypants’ as you, but maybe you can appreciate my inherent NEED to comment.
Much Love,
Don’t nuke baby seals,
The Madame

Wait. I just realized you used the Walrus for Paul. True, Lennon said “the walrus was Paul” in Glass Onion, but that was a lie. John Lennon was the walrus — as in “I am the walrus, coo, coo, ca-joob”)

True…Let it Be was recorded in the beginning of ‘69 and McCartney probably dreamt about it the previous year. My bad.

Let it Be was released in 1970, but actually recorded earlier than ’69’s Abbey Road.
As far as least ugly Cracked writer, I’m fairly confident that the photos indicate that i have the most handsome Avatar and that Ian, apparently, is in the witness relocation program.

This was hilarious. I, too, hold Yorke and McCartney to unreasonable standards. I want them to put out another OK Computer and White Album, respectively, and I also want them to arrange it so that I am 19 years old again, working at a job with no drug tests!
Hey, if Led Zeppelin can reform with their dead drummer’s son, can the Beatles reform with, say, a writer from Cracked? Oh wait, two writers, I forgot about George Harrison…OK OK, I got it!…Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, a Cracked writer (the least ugly one), and Jessica Alba (as borrowed from the Cracked tag-list to the right) can revive the 70s variety show format, and Radiohead can put their new album out on CD already for the love of everything holy what do I look like some dancing silouhette with an iPod who downloads fucking albums?

Well… Yesterday: one-legged woman… Today - one-eyed singer… Macca really should be stopped!

any mccartney of the 60s will do. hell, even the mccartney from 1970 who wrote “let it be” would be awesome!
anyway, laughed out loud about the garbage-man - ringo collaboration. And I mean laughed out loud, not typing lol on the keyboard. Although that would have been lots more fun. And incredibly original and intelligent. lol

Fan excitement dropped sharply after it was determined that time travel technology is not yet ready to arrange a collaboration between 1968 McCartney and 1996 Yorke
Amen, except i would have gone 67 mac and 97 yorke.
