Whats your worst ever song that you hate of all time? ( Archived) (116)

Dragos1: A lot of people sure Love that "trash". I like both songs and "Juniors Farm" has always been a favorite of mine. "Juniors Farm" was number 3 as a single in the USA and made number 16 in the UK.

I love that These songs all are from the real life experiences of Paul and Linda. RIP Dear Linda.

"Paul and Linda McCartney wrote “Junior’s Farm” as an homage to Claude “Curly” Putman, Jr., who’s farm they were staying at in Lebanon, Tennessee, along with Wings, in 1974. The band recorded the song at Nashville’s Sound Shop and released it as the A-side to a 7” single backed with “Sally G” in October, and the song went to number three on the U.S. charts."

"The real Junior’s Farm looks much today like it did when the McCartneys made their Tennessee sojourn 37 years ago. A few miles down a winding country road off of I-40 highway, you pull up to a wrought iron fence. A large pond is set in a slope near the road and a long driveway winds up to a stately white house on a hill. It was not too long after the success of 1965’s “The Green, Green Grass of Home” that Curly Putman, a young writer and plugger with Nashville publisher Tree, and his wife, Bernice, and their son, Troy, bought and moved into the farm."

"On the song’s chorus, McCartney gets more specific to his surroundings. “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, Down to Junior’s Farm where I wanna lay low. Low life, high life, oh let’s go, Take me down to Junior’s Farm.” He and the band were certainly “laying low,” warming up for a major Wings tour. “High life” and “low life” seem to sum up the dual worlds of rock stars – one minute partying in jet planes, the next relaxing in the country. Or “low life” might refer to the darker side of rock stardom. (Putman recalls hearing that one of the band members got a little “rambunctious” in Nashville and wound up in jail.) Finally, the old man at the grocery seems like a character from rural Tennessee.

Regardless of where Paul and Linda drew inspiration from the song, they certainly had fun on Junior’s farm. “They just seemed to enjoy being out in the country. They rode horses. I have a pond and they went swimming in it…Paul was very likable, personable. He just seemed like one of us.”"

kelsann: I still don't understand if this was suppose to be comedy (which it isn't even funny, but painful) or if he was completely serious about his 'music'.

Either way, creepy and strange dude.
