Are you just saying that because John wrote that song for him??
If not, then you simply must get more specific. Otherwise, this will never turn into the free-for-all that you seem to be looking for.
If, however, you're saying he's the greatest shadow puppeteer ever, then you just might get the brawl you're looking for.

Re: Celine Thinks She's Equal To Beatle Paul?
The Ramblings: Part One
Even though some of the lyrics on Chaos are kind of pedestrian - the musical arrangements are generally more than enough to keep things interesting. In fact, there are a number of times that certain things in a song make me think of the Ram album, oddly enough.
"Fine Line" - I think this is a decent pop tune. The music is bouncy and infectous, and the lyrics are just enigmatic enough to keep it interesting. But it's just different enough, stylistically, to make one wonder how it got on the album in the first place (especially since they seemed to be going for a quieter, less diverse, overall sound).
"How Kind Of You" - Lyrically simple (kind of darkly hopeful) - the music keeps it interesting enough to make up for any lyrical shortcomings. The minor chords give it a moody quality. Understatedly powerful, I think.
"Jenny Wren" - Very nice. Paul's always been good at this kind of song. It even sounds like he was awake when writing the lyrics (and there's that darkly hopeful feel, again). It's kind of got a "Blackbird" vibe to it (and even has a bird name in the title).
"At The Mercy" - Another understated gem (with, once again, darkly hopeful lyrics). I like this song more than you seem to. Nice orchestration. Nicely restrained little crescendoed section in the middle (around the 1:30 mark). It's only about 2:30 long, so it doesn't overstay its welcome.
"Friends To Go" - Simple, but without being boring. In the second verse: I hope he's saying "slipp'ry slope", not "slippy slope" (as one reviewer claimed) - slippy would be really bad. I love the fuzz bass that comes in about halfway through the song. Another song short enough not to overstay its welcome.
"English Tea" - Fun little song. I never understood the negative reactions so many critics had to it. Written for a older gentleman (in his 80s?), I believe, and Paul was trying to use references and figures of speech that the gentleman would use (e.g., the word "twee").
"Too Much Rain" - Another simple, but well done gem. Not that much different (in tempo and rhythm) from "Friends To Go" - not that that's a bad thing. The lyrics are earnestly simple (and, yet again, darkly hopeful), but without being cloy.
"A Certain Softness" - I just cannot get into this song. It's not awful; I don't hate it; I don't skip it, but I just don't dig it. Certain minor elements of it make it sound like an outtake from the White Album (that's not a criticism), e.g., the BGVs around the 1:00 mark.
"Riding To Vanity Fair" - One of my favorites off the album. It has a wistful quality (as do many of the songs on Chaos). Paul kind of stretches himself on this one. Interesting orchestration. Nicely understated lead guitar work (is that Paul?).
"Follow Me" - Not bad, just kind of pedestrian. I like the bridge (around the 1:06 mark), though. At 2:31 long it doesn't really have time to get boring.
"Promise To You Girl" - I have mixed feelings about this song, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it stands in such stark (almost jarring) contrast to the songs before and after it. It's like a flash of sunshine breaking through unexpectedly on a cloudy day. I do like it, though. I like the harmonized verses. And the oohs towards the end would have been right at home on Ram.
"This Never Happened Before" - Simple, but it's the music that keeps it interesting (the electric guitar sounds like something that could have been on Ram). Excellent bass work on this one. The lyrics are uninspired, but not embarrassingly so.
"Anyway" - Yeah, he definitely copped the chord progression from "People Get Ready" - but it's a pretty basic gospel riff, so who knows where Curtis Mayfield got it from. This song still works for me (plagarized, or
not). It's uplifting, and I think it's a great way to end the album. Well,...almost.
I really like the hidden (unnamed?) instrumental track. I just don't know why it's there. Stylistically, it certainly doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. I think Paul chickened out on how to end the album - just like he'd do again on his next one.
I'm glad our discussion prompted me to revisit Chaos and Creation. I'd forgotten that I initially liked it
more than my memory was leading me to believe. As I said elsewhere, I think I was getting my memory of it tangled up with my frustrated disappointment with Driving Rain (which no amount of repeated listens has improved my opinion of).
I'd also forgotten that I'd never bought the album (I'd borrowed my brother's). Alas, there's another one for the Wish List.<sigh>
