    Even this die-hard Lennonophile must bow to the greatness which is Sir Paul. Thanks for remembering. Maybe my next 13 will be some kinda tribute to John. What a team, eh?

  6. Cool list. Wasn't "Live and Let Die" also in a Bond movie? Or am I remembering totally confused? I do that, you know, more and more.
