Well said.

I think I blew my speakers....oh never mind, they meant for that sound....Genius!

So, I'm in the middle of a very deep description of why the death penalty is both good and bad (bad because taxpayers still have to pay for death-row inmates' three-free; good because it eliminates that taxpayer-thing; bad because what if the guy being condemned to death is innocent; good because... well that emptying of cell-space...)

And then this comes on, and I totally forget what my case was, and I cranked up the stereo.  And then, my case didn't even matter. Life happens, death happens, injustice and justice happen, but there's this <b>music</b> that has documented the generations, and suddenly, I realize that there are good points to living in the moment.

I still care about the death-penalty and those jerks who think they're above the law (and they probably are), but I have this circle of influence around me. I can make certain changes in my life, and everything outside my encircled arms is pretty much out of my control. I sorta trust in a higher power to make the big ugly decisions I can't bring my conscience to make, so I guess it's faith? Whatever the case, life and death go on, and one of the things we have as a distraction is music.

I vote for the Beatles - individually and collectively. They were so far ahead of their time - I wish they'd started their collective career just a little bit later, so they could have been prepared for the media-frenzy and the subsequent backlash. No wonder they chose the paths they took.

Guh.

Those Punks!!

I understand that the way they got the guitar to sound that way was to kick some holes in the speakers and then crank the volume all the way up.

So it was circa 1970 and my buddy "Chip" would get out his sister's stack of 45's and we would sit and listen to them. He would play the short guitar intro of Revolution over and over, but never the whole song. Dambit Chip! Why? I never was clear on that.

I bought the white album for this song. Oh well, I found a lot to love on it anyway. Still one of my favorites of any band at any time.

Funny true story:

The Beatle's Yellow Submarine was on the radio at work. A very young kid was on the computer at his cube, listening. He then said, "These are the dumbest lyrics I've ever heard. Who IS this group?"   Ah..the generation gap.

This is one of those best songs of all time...  love it...  listening to it is good for the ears...

...you can count me out (in)....

Giving it a 10 because it was the song dedicated to me in my high school annual - wow, that seems like a long time ago. Anyway, still one of my favorite songs and the sentiments seem even more appropriate today.

One of the very few Beatles songs I genuinely like.
