Greatest middle eight in pop history? I challenge you to find a better one. In all of my best songs, the crux of the matter should wait for the middle eight. |

Not being a musician (but an intensely curious person of eclectic tastes), the above led me off into internet realms to delve into "the middle eight". The current theme is the structure of things. (I guess it's finally time to read The End of Bigness) This fit right in. Thanks!I'll keep a look-see for good middle eights. |

I don't have my references here at work, but in England it was issued as a single b/w "Day Tripper" at the end of 1965. I'm pretty sure it showed up later on one of Capitol's unfortunate hashes, Yesterday and Today. So, it was really a single that was later on one of the American pseudo-albums. |

This is one of the earlier Beatles songs that, to me, shows a sort of promise but does not fully realize the potential of its idea and execution. Which is to say, the melody is really catchy and strong and the lyrics are well crafted, but the combination is used up too early. As with Yesterday, I think in their later years they would have expanded more. Possibly this song is better for not being treated that way, but it has a sort of ephemeral quality for me.

It implies an intellectual high ground, which besides being bad form, begs the question: you're literate because of the way you write, not because you say you are. On the subject at hand, the song has an 8.8 rating, which in your universe would imply that the illiterates have ruled the day. These ratings have nothing to do with literacy, and everything to do with what people like. And at an 8.8 rating, people appear to like it. Bottom line: to say "Literate people can see the Beatles for the commercial hype that they were and are" is just bullshit. |

Then, if you're interested, check out the opening sentence of Godless by Ann Coulter.
Literacy and reasoning skills are two different things.
