well this four page discussion seems to have taken a turn for the worse. If it was a married couple arguing; I might say it would end in divorce from what a read. I'll try and offer a civilised response which for me; isn't difficult. as i do it often.
I love the beatles; always have, always will. I did assume that most of the songs were written by; lennon/mccartney. not george harrison. however I am no expert on the matter; not that it really matters in this divorce settlement anyhow.
I also like james blunt; but have never liked bob dylan. I find his vocals rather excruciating to be honest; I don't think I'm alone on that opinion. he did right some very good songs though and he is very talented and very rich to. I feel that he is very likely to die in the middle of a tour; no man/woman or child shall prevent him from singing on those many stages; he's been on that many all over the globe. I certainly couldn't manage what he has achieved; but I'd be much happier at a james blunt concert; which I may goto one day.
in regards to who is the best songwriters; well that is always up to the fan of the artist or group. personal preferance basically. I'd be honest and say that they are all equally good songwriters and nobody should really say for sure which is better; because it can't be proven. just because an artist or a group is successful; doesn't mean that they are better songwriters than someone who is less successful; does it?
anyway I can see this divorce settlement that paul mccartney and heather mills/mccartney are going through is never going to be easy. I really can't say that we can blame any one of them in particular; only they know the real truth. perhaps she only wanted him for his money. perhaps she really loved him; but paul mccartney treated her badly in some way or they just couldn't get along like paul and linda mccartney got along. they were together for a long time and when linda died; it hit paul really badly and then trying to rekindle the feelings he once had with linda and try to replace her with heather just didn't work for him. perhaps he reacted badly; who can really say.
I know heather is seeking a large amount of money off paul and it may be too much. heather will have her reasons for that and paul will have his reasons for not wanting to give her as much as that. personally I say; (I've heard this kind of story; time and time again) a celebrity and his wife or husband wants a divorce and they want a load of his or her money. the story never changes; just let them get on with it and if heather wins and gets more than paul wants to give her; it's no real great loss to him anyway; plus the fact that heather will never ever get the chance to spend it all anyway. it's more money than any of us here will ever get to see or spend; ha.
