yes, I know what you're thinking. No translation here, but it's just a matter of "score" "," (comma), and, strange as seem to you, also a writer with Nobel Prize laureate, wrote many of their works without "comma". Moreover, in spoken language, the commas are placed, automatically, by pauses in speech. Now, you have a comment about the music or what?

No offense and I am sure you mean well and are a very nice person, but that is the most hilariously atrocious translation I have ever seen.

Billy Preston, known as the fifth Beatle, played piano and organ in each of the recordings of the group.
Also present at that concert: Bob Dylan, Ravi Shankar, Jethro Tull, and a bunch of friends and contemporaries of the Beatles and the group 'The Cream' by Eric Clapton. Embody the very best, most representative of the late 60's.

This is good but "All Things Must Pass" (the single) is great.

Wouldn't a good attention span be a bad thing if you're listening to something you don't like? |

That makes 3 minutes and 59 seconds (or 4 minutes and 38 seconds, per fredriley) of excessive tedium. |

Anybody hear the opening chords to The Dandy Warhol's "Godless?" Hmm, something fishy here...

I realize that the next clause in my statement is entirely gratuitous and selfish but. . . I don't give a shit either way whether George borrowed anything from the Chiffons' "He's So Fine" or not, IMHO this song kicks that song's ass in a way not describable in simple words. I miss you George. . .  |

Sweet, I'd never actually heard this song before.
Now...after those chords in the beginning I was expecting the horns from the Dandy Warhol's "Godless" which I figure must be referencing this song.

Shivers. STILL. All I can do is sit in a puddle of emotion, breathe when the choir kicks in, and just close my eyes. ("Chanting the names of the Lord, and you'll be free...") This is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. Harrison was an understated genius. I wish he was still with us, and in good health - imagine what kind of music he'd be producing now!
