The new pop groups—I think they sing so well, but a lot of them miss the point because they don’t stop to think what lyrics mean; they listen to themselves too much. Some shout the whole damn night, like singing the Declaration of Independence in every note. Don’t they know shading, nuance, color? That offends me. But, from the start, I admired the Beatles. As a unit, they’re maturing. Their deportment is excellent; they could have easily gone the leather-jacket way. I like their baroque style of orchestration, so pleasant and Renaissance. I’m going to try to meet with Paul McCartney, and perhaps he’ll write some Christmas music for me. No, I could never sing with the Beatles. I wouldn’t know how. They have completely different interpretations. I’m an optimist and a romantic.
