Advantages: Great songs including 2 duets with Michael Jackson Disadvantages: None
First I will confess to being a huge fan of Paul McCartney. I am an admirer of his music with The Beatles as well as with Wings, as Paul McCartney and in duets.
"Pipes Of Peace" is an exceptional album. It has 11 tracks of which 4 are amongst the best he has ever produced.
The 4 tracks I rate so highly are "Say, Say, Say", "The Man", "Through Our Love" and "Pipes Of Peace".
The first two of these are duets with Michael Jackson and co-written with Michael Jackson. If that isn't a pop music writing dream team then I don't know what is.
"Say, Say, Say" is quite well known and to this day (Feb 2009) still gets regular airplay on Music Television Channels. But "The Man", which I think is an extraordinarily brilliant track is little known or played on either radio or television.
"Pipes of Piece" is well known and clearly of high ...
Advantages: Great long lasting smell, nice bottle Disadvantages: A little more expensive than others on the market
I was bought this aftershave for Christmas this year by my girlfriend. I liked it so much; I thought I would share my opinion of it with Ciao.
Packaging
Jean Paul Gaultier 'Le Male' comes in a silver tin with the 'Jean Paul Gaultier' label embossed on the front. You can pull the bottom of the tin off, and the bottle of aftershave sits in a stand on the base, which is attached to the base of the tin. Inside the top section of the tin is a white plastic section which holds the top of the bottle square inside the tin, once the bottle is back inside which stops it from rattling around and possibly being smashed inside.
The bottle itself is typical of Jean Paul Gaultier aftershave and comes in their famous body shaped bottle. This particular bottle is in the theme of a sailor. The bottle is an off navy blue with white stripes ...
Advantages: You can see the concert on DVD Disadvantages: You get a lot of audience shots and documentary
Paul McCartney?s ?Back in the US? concert tour of America in 2002 was captured on DVD. An icon of pop music, he changed countless lives and carved his name through whole cultures. Here he can be seen playing over thirty songs, live in front of huge audiences.
Paul McCartney is a giant of musical creativity and a great singer and performer still rightly venerated by most of the world forty years after he first became famous.
For those of us who were fortunate enough to have grown up in the 1960s there were other giants. John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, The Who, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin? the list goes on. What we didn?t know then is how spoilt we were. We thought that this standard of song writing and musical innovation was quite normal.
Time has marched ...

Album Notes
THE PEACE ARCH CONCERTS contains both spoken and musical selections from the first two of Paul Robeson's four Peace Arch Concerts given on the U.S./Canadian border. Personnel includes: Paul Robeson (vocals); Lawrence Brown, Alan Booth (piano); Harvey Murphy (spoken vocals). Recorded live at The Peace Arch Park, Blaine, Washington on May 18, 1952 & August 16, 1953. Includes liner notes and a bibliography by Ian Shaw. Digitally remastered by Laurie Flannery (Northeastern Digital Recording, Southboro, Massachusetts). Standing atop a flat-bed truck parked one-foot from the Canadian border, Paul Robeson sang to crowds of hundreds of thousands during four concerts between 1952 and 1955. The concerts had their genesis after Robeson was denied entry into Canada by the U.S. State Department for a concert in support of the Mine, Mill and Smelters Worker's Union of British Columbia. Robeson had been an American cultural icon for the preceding three decades as a singer and actor. By the time of the concerts presented on this disc, however, he had become persona non grata in the highly-charged atmosphere of the domestic cold war. His well-known support of a variety of progressive causes had caused his passport to be revoked and made it virtually impossible for him to perform professionally in the United States. It was against this backdrop that the Peace Arch Concerts took place. Robeson's voice is in top form in both of the concerts presented here. His low notes contain the richness and earthy resonance for which he was famous. In his memorable performance of Ol' Man River (which Jerome Kern is said to have written with Robeson in mind), he changes the last verse from one of acquiescence to one of defiance. Robeson's famous 12 1/2 minute speech presages the civil rights movement which is to follow in the ensuing two decades.
