Ted Neely! Patti Labelle! I thought these were good songs! Damn you! Songcraft IS a sham!

That was too painful to watch even a third of the way through.

This is some heavy evidence for Steve's position, although I'd contend that "Magical Mystery Tour" is not among the Beatle's finest songcraft. Or "songcraft." Whichever you prefer.

But yeah, that was some kinda special new flavor of bad, that was.

It's still a good recipe; in the hands of a competent cook, the same instructions about when to add what increment of which substance under what conditions could produce a pleasing result. In the hands of an exceptional chef, maybe something remarkable. You need those hands, fresh ingredients, and the proper tools, before it's a satisfying eating experience, but nothing anyone can do in following those instructions can change the value of the recipe as a set of instructions, which, followed properly, will produce a pleasing result.


Yes. Why is the notion of a good song any different from a good recipe?
