The Magic Of "Paul Super Apple"
Sometime in the late 1980s, a singer/songwriter calling himself "Paul Super Apple" became convinced that a collaboration between himself and Keith Richards would turn the music world on its head. Thus, he recorded a brief demo featuring three songs & glowing words for his "Mis-tah Mas-tah," and sent it to Keith. The echoey, forlorn songs were interspersed with creepy clips of Paul Super Apple rambling at Richards about his admiration for the Rolling Stone and other equally famous musicians like "Pawl Mah-KAHT-nee" (it would seem Mr. Super Apple hails/hailed from the deepest depths of a New York gangster movie). Keith Richards' reaction to Paul Super Apple's demo is unknown, but the tape ended up being passed around rock circles for years as another hilarious (albeit heartfelt) amateur curiosity. We've all laughed at Paul's singing, cried with him (yes, he cries on the tape while expressing his admiration for Keith) and have all wondered what happened to the guy. There's another tape floating around where someone calls Paul & interviews him (tongue in cheek) but due to the 15 minute time limit on Youtube, that little gem wouldn't fit (the whole tape is around 20 minutes). I have though, included all of Paul's spoken letter portions & two of his songs, "Apple Love" & "Love Lives On" for your pleasure.. Enjoy, and remember.. THEY CALL HIM APPLE LOVE!
