Seriously?

You actually gave that some thought before you posted it?

Good grief.

John Lennon wasn’t that good.

Yeah, neither him or George Harrison, Paul McCartny or Ringo Starr.I mean, they only sold a few "records"...right?

LOL

Agreed. To the best of my knowledge they were 99.9+% analog. The only digital in their repertoire is the synth sound in the beginning of Here Comes the Sun.

Yeah. I considered making it three bullets, including one for Yoko. But then I figured no one really paid any attention to her anymore anyway, so why waste good ammo?

Yes. According to his diary, he also accepted Christ, although he began to drift away.

If you look, there is no listing of "Her Majesty" on the back of the original album cover.

As a fifteen-year old I was intrigued by the back cover of that album. For the life of me, I can't figure out why. :-)

And so the Beatles get another "first". The first "Easter Egg" on a record.

What about Sgt Pepper's inner groove on the UK pressing on side two.

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer was one of the first songs to feature a synthesizer.

This POS will say anything NOW to get out. If he were sincere, he would’ve killed himself long time ago

And though the holes were rather small...they had to count them all.

I think they put that runoff groove (I hear "never any OTHER way" myself) so stoned listeners without an automatic return on their turntable had something to listen too until they could get up the gumption to lift the arm.

Or maybe because they were so exhausted after that final "coffin crash" ending of A Day In The Life when Geoff Emerick was slowly turning up the volume on the three grand pianos dying for the longest time possible. Whew!

I've also heard that they put in a frequency only dogs can hear as a lark too.

The history of the Beatles and their music will be studied for centuries.

And, yes, the only GOOD thing that came out of Lennon's murder was that the band would never be tempted to rejoin for reunion tours and wheeze along like the Stones (last album I bought was "Some Girls").

There is a poem by AE Housman called: "To an Athlete Dying Young" that expresses that sentiment of never seeing yourself falling behind the other runners. The Beatles died on top. And stayed that way.
