...among many other things, that we were maybe the reincarnation of Robert [Browning] and Liz [Elizabeth Barrett Browning]." Lennon wanted Grow Old with Me to be an anthem for occasions of ceremony and sentiment, like weddings and anniversaries. Just the sort of song, that is, that he twitted Paul McCartney for writing, although not even his ex-writing partner ever sniveled so stereophonically as Lennon as he serenades his flower princess. Ono does display a neat flash of wit in her final song: "In the world's eye/ We were Laurel and Hardy/ In our minds/ We were Heathcliff...
Although lean budgets and tight production schedules are still the norm, such exceptions as Thriller and the Paul McCartney-Michael Jackson Say Say Say are stirring interest. Every major record label now has its own in-house video department. Video budgets are getting to be as hotly negotiated as salary increases whenever a performer's contract comes up for renewal. "A video indicates to an artist a level of acceptance and prestige," says Gil Friesen. Says Len Epand, general manager of Polygram Records' video division: "Videos are collectible and deserve to be purchasable. Right now music video...
...gruff and passionate reminder that rock-'n'-roll greatness rates a little patience. It also neatly marks an unexpected passage: yesterday's eminences energetically navigating their own channels of continuity.

Infidels is prime Dylan, but the master of simple love songs, Paul McCartney, is his own worst enemy on Pipes of Peace (Columbia). After last year's superb Tug of War, McCartney returns to his deep-pile pop and sinks without a trace. Some of this material was apparently intended for Tug of War; it would have been kinder to McCartney's reputation if the stuff had stayed on file. You have to be very good indeed to survive lyrics like "I know I was a crazy fool/ For treating you the way I did/ But something took...
...Michael didn't outdance Paul, and Paul didn't outsing Michael," says ever so diplomatic Director Bob Giraldi, 44, of the newly released Paul McCartney-Michael Jackson rock video Say Say Say. The mini-epic stars Jackson, 25, McCartney, 41, and his wife Linda, 41, as a team of vaudeville con artists on the run in the Wild West. McCartney and Jackson collaborated last year in the writing and singing of The Girl Is Mine, one of the half-dozen hit songs on Jackson's phenomenally successful Thriller LP. Next came their current...
