Wings is more of a rocker, that lifts us up and propels us off the Potato Couch, and gets us cutting the rug to the pounding thump of Ringos drum kit. http://thesop.org/story/20120205/ringos-wings-and-sir-pauls-my-valentine-are-swooning-lovebirds-for-a-brand-new-beatles-single.html http://thesop.org/story/20120205/ringos-wings-and-sir-pauls-my-valentine-are-swooning-lovebirds-for-a-brand-new-beatles-single.html jkays@austin.rr.com (John G.
