Ram It Down
Paul McCartney "Too Many People"

I recently picked up Paul McCartney's second solo record 'Ram', from 1971. It was like regaining visitation rights for me because I used to listen to this record incessantly as a little kid. The opening track "Too Many People" was always my favorite. What I didn't realize as a child is that it's a song where Paul is basically just being a huge dick. He states there's too many people waiting "for their lucky break". Well excuse me, we couldn't ALL be in the Beatles, your lordship! But, since your a musical genius and this song is so catchy, I'll ignore your asshole tendencies.

Did you see this at the WFMU blog? Ram must be in the air.
Ram is always in the air, my friend. That must be why it's so stinky in here all the time.
