I’m not trying to prove anything. All we can do here is guessing or express our opinions. That’s what I think that happened there. You believe something else happened, other members say what they think and here we are, a bunch of happy supposers assuming things up to the day the truth surfaces and we learn what actually happened. How cool is that?

That still doesn't prove anything! That could still be AC transposing parts MK had written!

Dusty... I feel like paying you an ale pint...

We could go round in circles! We'll never know but you would think AC would have definitively said "I wrote the piano part" if that was what happened rather than make vague statements that are open to interpretation.

Or he could do what my cousin Bobby did:

Mark is the author and Alan certainly had some contribution. It's easy for me ... Alan had a natural function in the band ...

Lol Alan did not make vague assumptions. He simply described what the process of building a song is like.

I’ve done it dozens of times and it’s extremely pleasant and rewarding. I don’t think you know how it works.

You said it all. I think people are letting the legacy thing cloud their judgement on Alan’s musicianship.

I try to analyze things separately.

That’s exactly what Alan says. It’s pretty simple: Mark writes it and goes through the tune with Alan. If Alan comes up with an idea Mark likes it makes the cut. Last word is Mark’s. End of story. The question is how much of Alan’s made the cut. I don’t understand why people get all offended over the possibility of  Alan having an important role in the making of the song.

No, I couldn't possibly know how to collaborate on a song, that's obviously something I would be incapable of. It's amazing how much you know about me given the extremely limited amount of interaction we have had together on an internet forum.

Not just Alan. Everyone had a contribution. That's how it is today. Mark and Guy and then the rest. Mark, however, says the last word. That's all

Dusty, I know about you just as much as you and I know about TR. Sometimes you’re slightly aggressive on this forum - and a number of times you twisted my words, just like you’ve done in this thread. Today included.

I don’t take things personally on internet forums though.

I'm glad you are appreciating my work. It's difficult being slightly aggressive. Being fully aggressive just isn't the British way you see and everybody loves a bit of aggression, but just a slight amount.
