Talk:I Me Mine

Grammar
Grammatically speaking, the phrase "I Me Mine" is a list of the nominative, objective, and possessive 1st person (singular) pronouns. How this can be incorporated into the article is beyond me. -- Mattbrundage 15:39, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Let It Be Documentary
In the documentary Let It Be, Lennon likes the song, and begins waltzing with Yoko Ono to it... So while Lennon wasn't nessecarily there at the final recording, he was at least aware of the song and approved of it...   If anyone can think of a way to fit that into the article, go ahead.

Folk blues
I came across this while going through some Infoboxes with folk-related genres. The infobox genre ref (Alan W. Pollack) describes it as "an interesting folk/blues stylistic hybrid with more than just a touch of the hard rocking waltz beat." I don't think this can be described by folk blues, which redirects to "Country blues". CB seems to be a catch-all for pre-WWII acoustic blues, with FB more associated with the 1950s–1960s revival movement. IMM is a more ambitious song that alternates between rockish waltz-time verses and a fairly straight blues rock chorus, which is more how the second genre ref (Andrew Hickey) describes it: "waltz-cum-hard-rock hybrid". Ian MacDonald describes it as a "Gallic waltz (complete with Piaf wobble) against a clamorous blues shuffle". I'd like to remove "folk blues", but it needs something more than just "hard rock" for a genre. There is a mention of ballad (Alan Smith). Any ideas? —Ojorojo (talk) 23:31, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi 'Rojo. I agree it's pushing things to take Pollack's description to mean that the song is folk blues. There's another problem here, though, with the Hickey source, in that it's published by lulu.com. I remember an editor, two years back perhaps, adding genres to Beatles song articles and often using Hickey; I thought nothing of it – Hickey's written books on Ray Davies and loads of other songwriters – and only recently discovered that lulu.com = self-published. I don't think there's enough to say that exceptions can be made for Hickey (WP:SPS), maybe others disagree. I'd say we should remove everything and just have Rock. I don't know if that needs sourcing – it's such a basic description (e.g. the song is "by the English rock band the Beatles").


 * I added the Fricke and Harris comments in this article, under Release and reception. I might see if either of them provide anything genre-related. Somehow I doubt it, though. JG66 (talk) 02:18, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I did a couple of searches and agree that "Rock" is probably the way to go. I'll replace the genres with "Rock" and remove the refs. Change as you see fit. Hickey is quoted in several Kinks and Beach Boys WP articles, including GAs.  Maybe he should be discussed for possible addition to the "unreliable sources" list. —Ojorojo (talk) 21:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for doing that. I couldn't find anything relevant from Fricke; I'll see what turns up elsewhere.
 * Yeah, I thought I'd seen Hickey's books on Davies and Brian Wilson used here. Personally, I wouldn't make a point of raising him as an item for discussion as a non-RS, but it's up to you. I'm just wary of the blanket decisions that are made when, perhaps, Andrew Hickey might be recognised as an expert on the Kinks, say, but not on any of the other artists he has written about. I'll certainly start removing him from all Beatles articles, though. JG66 (talk) 02:56, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
