how the beatles “paperback writer” is an assault on authorship…

This seems like a diminishment of what it took to be a paperback writer in that time period … they had guitars and they strummed them to a song they wrote for 30 minutes … but to slight the paperback writer this doesn’t seem like a decoration on the writer no it seems like some musicians are making fun with some digs here at the writer and I want to defend the writer … it’s music without all the rubbish … writing is the same thing as music is but there’s no singing of the writing there’s just doing the job and being done with it and that’s writing music is doing a little writing and a lot of celebration that the writing was written and writing is just doing the writing with no more celebration than a puff on a joint
