Listen closely to the Beatles recording of "All You Need Is Love"...  notice the musical phrases borrowed from other popular songs (among them the Beatles own "She Loves You") woven into the swirling cyclone of music at the song's conclusion...  notice the curious time signature, alternating 3/4 and 4/4 time...  can you draw any correlations between the collage of musical phrases and the syncopated tempo and the song's theme?

Finally, after a gut wrenching set of awful tunes....

Michael Penn - No Myth
Eels - Grace Kelly Blues
Freddy Jones Band - In A Daydream
Foo Fighters - What If I Do
Rufus Wainwright - One Man Guy
Lyle Lovett - Private Converstions (Acoustic)

Something to sooth my soul
All I need is love.....(and a better set)

The world was full of turmoil and division when this came out; in its own way, it was helpful. Things are even worse now. More people, critical problems, religious intolerance, militarism, etc. But no one is urging love. We get calls for sympathy and appeals to charity. Yet everyone seems to be hunkering down into their traditional position with even greater tenacity. Folks, we are all in this together. Maybe, we need a new prophet.

Cool! Great memory. I remember seeing that episode play in its first run on US TV back in the late sixties. Too damn cool.

Be seeing you.

I hope someone burns in hell for selling this song for a commercial. "Been A Long Time" is one thing. This is entirely another.

As I child I watched the debut performance of this song telecast via satellite LIVE around the world.

Of course, we do that all the time now, but then it was a true feat of engineering, and very expensive....talk about your rich philanthropists.

They played "All You Need is Love" and Paul was there with the rest of rock royalty.

I leaned over to the wife and said "You know, there's not one soul on the stage or in the production team who, at any time, said 'I have a better idea for what tune to play!'"


I could have come up with plenty of better ideas if they had asked me, like the Pistols' 'God Save the Queen', The Smiths' 'The Queen is Dead', or The Stone Roses' 'Elizabeth My Dear'. That would have given the parasites something to rattle their jewellery about while those of us in the cheap seats clap our hands.

One of my favorite tracks on Magical Mystery Tour, the first Beatles album I ever bought.


Glenn Miller's estate got royalties for them using "In The Mood" at the end, as well.

The Beatles were letting their historic significance play a role in making a better world for all of us. I will always love them for that. Plus their music, of course.

Sorry but the Beatles are far from outdated and meaningless. Everyone keeps coming back to them. Everyone discovers them once in his life. And "All you need is love" means a lot, or at least it should !

Sorry again, but from these four tracks, at least two were no.1 in the charts, so it would be difficult to classify them as surprises. But I agree that some great songs like Good morning good morning should be played more.

So we agree: more Beatles !!!

I'm so tired of hearing the Beatles over and over again. Please. That's my only complaint about RP. I used to listen to them when I was 15. I had ALL their records all right. The walls in my bedroom were covered with the Beatles. I still know nearly all their lyrics by heart.
Their music was revolutionary then, but it's all flat now, outdated, boring and meaningless. At least the tracks that you choose to play. From a nostalgia point of vue, I don't need to go back to this period of my life that often.
So if you really want to play more Beatles, pick up some good surprises like "You're Going To Lose That Girl", "She Loves You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret", "Please Please Me" ... for example.

Mmmm... maybe the reply function is not up yet. But, as I said: when the AU does come back up, I am gonna change my av to John Lennon. Just for the fact that we can look at the Beatles faces now as a bonus.
