Hardly any rock/pop musicians "read" music. They may know as much or more than anyone that does, but they never bother to learn the actual language. Unlike jazz musicians, they can afford to pay someone to transcribe the score for them. :-)
Paul McArtney on Larry King
Paul stunned me last night. During the interview he candidly admitted that he does not read or write music. Never has. I DID NOT KNOW THAT! I don't think Larry new either. Absolutly amazing. He Said He and John use to record everything on cassette. How cool is that? MONDO in my book.
