sure the lyrics are simple but combined with the music the lyrics of Hello Goodbye are designed to provoke a feeling that means something. A lot of it has to do with The Beatles' sense of humor.

Listen to nowhere man. Listen to the words. Then listen to the music. Then, look at the top 40 at that time. That says it all. I remember when that single came out. Again these guys who were just in their early 20s did one fantastic job with just that song!

Bill is missing the context of when and why Hello/Goodbye was written. The Beatles had released Sgt Pepper in Jun 1967 and had all grown mustaches. They were no longer the four mop tops singing She Loves You. They had, in fact, created a new persona and a lot of fans were dismayed and didn't understand. Some wrote them off as "weird" and asked why didn't they stay the same as they were. They got fan letters saying you guys changed. Paul McCartney wrote the next Beatles single as a song of duality. Yes/No, Hello/Goodbye... "I don't know why you say Goodbye , I say Hello". Watch the video for Hello/Goodbye and see the Beatles waving circa 1963 in their Pierre Cardin collarless jackets reflecting that "We are still the Beatles... but we've changed".

It was Steve PERRY! I freaking couldnt believe it was just him and me in this isolated part of the stage. I talked about the possibilty Journey reunion( pre R&R Hall of Fame) and how much I loved his mad vocal skills. But I clearly remembered telling Steve Perry how much I also loved Freddie Mercury and John Fogerty. Steve lit up!! He said John is fabolous songwriter and tune finder!

With Northern Songs, the Beatles had a share of the publishing. About 40%. But they dud not have a controlling interest. However, it's hard to say they got screwed. They signed that deal when they had one #1 -- Please, Please Me. At that stage of their career, that was a pretty good deal. Nobody knew how big they would become.

"Hello goodbye " is a Mc Cartney song, "Revolution" by Lennon is actually counter revolutionary.

The Beatles and CCR are both All Time Greats

I think Nike did that without Jacko's permission and he sent them a cease and desist or something like that. I could be wrong, that's just how I remember it.

No, Paul was against using Beatles songs in advertising. Period. He's OK with licensing them for film, however. I think George and Ringo are a little more lax on this point. George had licensed one of his own songs for a commercial and Ringo had appeared in commercials. Paul had advised MJ to get into music publishing. He did NOT advise him on what to do with the songs he purchased. MJ had already used his own songs in commercials, sometimes altering their lyrics to suit the product, so he was planning to monetize the Beatles songs regardless. Paul was quite upset about Revolution being used for Nike, but his main beef was that he didn't get a break on licensing fees to play his own songs live.

''Hello Goodbye'' was written as a result of the relationship Lennon and McCarthy had at the time. They weren't agreeing on much, '' you say yes, I say no. You say stop, and I say go go go''

I believe at the end Lennon was a but frustrated with McCartney’s child-like lyrics at times despite his incredible melodies. He himself wanted to «say something profound» but in that the melodies maybe were not at McCartney’s level always. That’s why together they worked so well and also explains the direction of their different solo careers.

Bill telling a guy who had dozens of hit records about music.

Get sir Paul McCartney to talk about CCR

He should be talking run through the jungle.

if that is what Bill takes from that song, I don't know what to tell him. There are metaphors and deeper meanings in that song than just what hits the ear.

Until the Help! album, I’m not sure if the Beatles (or at least Lennon/McCarthy) wrote a single song that wasn’t about girls/women/dating/ relationships and “love”. So that’s their first 2-3 years plus the covers. The Help! album had the title song which was Lennon talking about his stresses and need for help and McCartney had Yesterday. From then on (around 1965) the Beatles went to the different places lyrically but even the next album Rubber Soul went back to a lot of songs about women and relationships.

Yup! Don’t analyze, just immerse … and enjoy. ✌️

I use to go to their warehouse in Oakland and watch em practice in the 60’s

Funny that Fogerty mentions his anger over Nike appropriating "Revolution." Because I've always thought one of the most egregious misuses of a song was when Wrangler jeans played the "Fortunate Son" lyrics "some people are born, made to wave the flag, oooh that red white and blue," over images of an American flag. They conjured a patriotic sentiment, but stopped the song before the "that aint me."

TAKE THIS BROTHER MAY IT SERVE YOU WELL

William Empson thought very highly of "Hello, Goodbye."

Hey Bill, Not EVERY song has to be some heavy message. "Hello Goodbye" is a great song about two people saying the opposite to each other with great melodic music & production. John Fogerty understands this concept. Bill likes to constantly hear himself talk and pretend that he is an expert in everything. LOL

Hello Bill Goodbye.....

Bill Maher told Jerry Seinfeld that "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Hey Jude," "Penny Lane" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" were never on any Beatles albums until the songs were released on compilations. Bill Maher's ignorance is matched only by his arrogance.

What a waste of an interview,let the guest speak,you have a living legend sitting next to you!

Songs are songs not books or messages. It’s entertainment and emotions. Bill certainly knows what BS words are all about.

Bill's knowledge and appreciation of popular music or film is pretty superficial, not much different from a random person on the street. Thus, he has some pretty random opinions. I think he once opined that Bill Joel had more "good" songs than the Beatles. Much like your younger sister, he is not a good source for musical insight.

There is no bad with the Beatles

Actually, "Revolution" is quite musically pedestrian--just a blues rip-off. "Come Together" is also quite pedestrian. The music of The Beatles benefited enormously from the addition of numerous session musicians, George Martin's arrangements and production, and, quite crucially, the great sounds that engineer Geoff Emerick figured out for them (e.g., he got a huge bass sound for Paul by rewiring a speaker to turn it into a microphone). John Lennon's nonsense lyrics are a great deal more interesting and entertaining than his overly earnest efforts. John Fogerty is very lucky that he has Bill Maher here to tell him exactly where it's at. Perhaps Fogerty will try to write some songs and attempt to make his mark in music. Meanwhile, Bill has it all figured out--case closed!

Bill Maher is completely your cringe friend who doesn’t have a clue, cos he wasn’t there, when talking to someone who actually was… I mean, really… The lyrics of “Hello Goodbye” can be discussed as an observation of Paul McCartney’s dualistic, Gemini mind, the harmony swoops or that it featured a Bside which represented the hilarious cynicism of Lennon’s mind… I get the same feeling when listening to Howard Stern talk

Bill, I know you're trying... but try harder to get Elon!

I have been a regular listener/watcher of Maher back to the beginnings of 'Real Time' and a fan of his comedy for years. I used to watch Club Random because it seemed like Maher "unplugged". But at some point a year or so ago it became obvious this was just stoned Bill talking over every guest, who are now right-wing jerks he's kissing up to.....why? He still claims to be Libertarian....a party that doesn't exist....and painting himself as SMARTER than everybody. The last Random show I watched was with Sammy Hagar. A very cool and experienced STAR from San Bernardino County where I now live. Whatever. The every-man comedian is now a multi-millionaire....etc. etc. An arrogant baby.

Bill doesnt know anything about music. By the way, search for the drum cover by David montis of hello goodbye, take 1. Amazing drumming in that song.
