Song of the Week: "Too Many People"

Paul & Linda McCartney, from the 1971 album Ram, with a not-at-all-veiled "fuck you" to John & Yoko. This is the song that inspired Lennon to write the more cutting "How Do You Sleep?" as an answer. But apart from all of that, this is a great song. This is when Paul still knew how to write a great song; something he's rediscovered only intermittently in the years since.

I'm with you on this song-- one of my favorites. Never knew it was part of their feud. I knew about "How Do You Sleep," and McCartney's response, on "Band On the Run," "Let Me Roll It To Ya."
