Ahh, yes. Good ol' "Mo".

Talk about "but she gets it while she can"...with George, as it turned out.

Ahh, those incestuous little Beatles.

Just a little bit of goss.

Still sounds pretty freaking good to me.  I can recall how when I first started hearing this on the radio I began to sing along, and when I got to the part where he says, "for some California grass," my mother shook her head and my father chuckled.  Some years later, I had to chuckle myself.  I loved their cleverness, their daring, and above all, their musical genius, which still blazes brightly through so many layers of Time...

Anybody find it funny that this comment is to a song that was recorded live on a rooftop?

midreaming, ya probably felt a bit of self-gratification that you could put together a seemingly poignant set of sentences that expressed your thoughts. Too bad they are rendered meaningless because your context was all horked to hell.

 I have to agree.
It's easy to slag a band for whatever political reasons might offend us. The thing is, and it is, really, that the music is the important thing. The studio, the production team, the drugs, the girls, they're not really important at all. Not to me, anyway.

I actually spent last night listening to The White album and Abbey Road, I just did as a lark....there is some truly amazing music on those two albums, regardless of who produced it, who wrote it, who took which drugs or who had which girl or when....

Music, people....keep your focus.

Check out the live performance from 1964 at the Apple site. It will give you a good idea of how great these guys were. No gimmicks, no stage really and they are tight and solid.

Actually, I'd say her backing vocal has more guts than anything done by the Stones. Her vocal falls into my personal category of "great vocals done by unknown women that completely upstaged the superstar male band behind them and for which they received insufficient credit," which also includes Clare Torry's performance on Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" and Nicolette Larson's on Neil Young's "Motorcycle Mama."

You are certainly entitled to have and express your opinion here - no discretion required. 

If I could summarize your central point, the Beatles do not epitomize rock and roll because they are essentially a pop band owing everything to studio tricks and drugs.  They were just not tough like rock and roll is meant to be.

Well - in their Liverpool and Hamburg apprenticeship all records and reports are there was no band tougher, more rock and roll than the Beatles.  They were punks before punks existed.  They honed their considerable craft long before they entered a studio, with 8 hour per night gigs in very very tough working man's clubs.

But then they changed - at a pace and with a breadth of experimentation and broadening of styles that is mind boggling as much today as then.

3 1/2 years from Love Me Do to Tomorrow Never Knows.

"Fades in relevance" is hilarious in describing a band that is still voted every single year by critics and more importantly fellow rock and rollers as the most influential artists in history.

As the fine folks at AMG state so well:

To start with the obvious, they were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band of the 20th century. Moreover, they were among the few artists of any discipline that were simultaneously the best at what they did and the most popular at what they did. Relentlessly imaginative and experimental, the Beatles grabbed a hold of the international mass consciousness in 1964 and never let go for the next six years, always staying ahead of the pack in terms of creativity but never losing their ability to communicate their increasingly sophisticated ideas to a mass audience. Their supremacy as rock icons remains unchallenged to this day, decades after their breakup in 1970.
