I actually only said that as a joke, but then Unknown Soldier said he'd follow it, and he's the godfather of all things rock around these parts. Machine expressed an interest as well. You gotta give it to the people like the people want it.
Oh, and he's definitely not rock, for the most part.

I'll concede that McCartney has more technical power, but Lennon has more raw, visceral emotional power. Like on the chorus of "Don't Let Me Down".
