“Music, to Paul McCartney, is Pleasure Island. And though he’s resident there, he never gets tired of frequenting it.”

Paul Mccartney

Author:Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Melody steeped in bagpipes haunts me fetchingly. Paul McCartney raised a healthy, belching degree of acoustic streaks on his wonderful song MULL OF KINTYRE. It soothes the high bargaining power for fibs spoken to attain the fats of a Shangri-La, where such idyllic lyrics, native and balanced, are fairly distributed. Beautiful music! Invigorating!”

“Tom Cruise has the needed bravado to be the actor of note he is. Some of his movies, as colourfully intriguing as they are, reflect the proclivities that nurture the pithy discourses that embellish their plots with the equipage of recommendable quality. His EYES WIDE SHUT fills my being with its flagrant display of casuistry.”

“One of the finest drummers I’ve ever heard, Ringo Starr has earned for himself the love and respect of music lovers worldwide as a daedal drummer and lively singer. He rolled smoothly on the drums in a song like The Beatles’ A DAY IN THE LIFE. On HERE COMES THE SUN, he hit the skins with dexterity and vim. His voice as a singer carries the weight of sempiternal melody, as it ought to be distributed on the edge of clarity. His song PHOTOGRAPH runs deep in me with the sweet but gentle rage of bacchanal principles.”

He confronts his own plots and pushes towards paths of enclosed rills with which to wash off smudges of ascribable lethargy best imagined by wayward critics.
