The only accomplished musician in The Beatles was George Harrison. The stories about Ringo's ineptitude are well known. So it's not really surprising someone would question Paul's talents as a musician. He and John were great songwriters, though. Of course, George Martin helped. I was surprised to hear the comments about Michael Jackson. If he was a thief why did Quincy work with him? Jones lost a lawsuit against the Jackson estate and lost. I didn't know Richard Pryor was bisexual. I listened to a couple of his comedy specials last year and if I recall correctly, he uses slurs to refer to gays. Maybe I'm confusing him with Eddie Murphy. As I recall, Pryor did it casually while Murphy put some zing into his gay slurs. I'll have to listen to them again. He was a long-time friend of Bill Cosby. He wouldn't say anything about him. I wonder if he knew about the abuse but is keeping silent to avoid lawsuits. I thought Presley had a pretty good voice. . .
