"Paul McCartney was one of the most competitive people I've ever met. Lennon wasn't. He just thought everyone else was shit." -- Ray Davies
Ah, Ray -- a British national treasure. Why haven't they knighted the guy already?

I'm still waiting for Charlie Watts to be knighted. After all, he's got the suits for it.
I'm firmly convinced he was attracted to Yoko because she was a professional Con Artist.

VR - this oldie seemed appropriate. what's so bad about pizza and fairytales.
Ray Davies had a deep jealousy for The Beatles.
I heart Ray– really I do, but I think you're right about the jealousy. In typical British fashion, the Kink from north London must have resented the Liverpudlian supernova. And Ray IS the quintessential Brit.
