Good seats still available for the Yoko concert if you hurry!

It occurred to me the other day after I read that Ringo Starr is refusing to play a show in North Carolina because he wants to make himself relevant is feeling put out by the so-called bathroom bill banning men from women’s rooms: he must really regret having played drums on “Get Back.”
I was surprised this morning to see that no has pointed this out yet.
For those of you who don’t know the lyrics to The Beatles’s 17th American number-one single by heart, here are the last two verses:
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, Loretta
Your mother’s waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get back, Loretta,
Get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

I’m “offended” by ringo and his absence of talent.
Good seats still available for the Yoko concert if you hurry!
Oh no! You din't go there!
What's that Spell?!
What's that Spell?!
What's that Spell?!
The justice for these Hollywood types might be to pirate their music and movies and send them to China and Russia.
I don't know but I would believe it........Ringo's only claim to fame is that he was a member of the Beatles.......
Oh wait, Ringo wrote the musical literary classic "Octopus's Garden" which has been a highly popular musical piece demanded of all symphony orchestras around the world..........Well, not really.
The Beatles kicked their drummer, Pete Best, out of the band right on the verge of their making it big. Supposedly, even Ringo was better than Pete.
What is it good for?
We’re now being lectured on “morality” by fags. How effing special.
I thought the song was meant to be played backward to hear its real meaning... that someone’s going to shoot John...
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Springsteen is already threatening Michigan, he will not perform if we make any law not allowing men to use women’s bathrooms. pffft, whatever, I won’t miss him one bit.
They hurt the people who work at these venues,mowners, vendors, parking peeps. They miss out on paying the rent because they’ve gotca bug up their ass.
Lennon did not say he was the second-best drummer in the Beatles - only that he was not the best one. So third and fourth are possible implications.
Those aren’t the all the lyrics to GET BACK.. Just the second verse. Not that it changes anything just saying.
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn’t last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta. Go home
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
No, he was just ticked off at the Maharishi (see below). The original lyric was “maharish, what have you done” but he changed it to Sexy Sadie
Wiki:
Lennon originally wanted to title the song “Maharishi”, but changed the title to “Sexy Sadie” at George Harrison’s request. Lennon was disillusioned after Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had allegedly made a sexual advance towards Mia Farrow, attending the course the Maharishi was teaching at his ashram. (Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Cynthia Lennon later said that they thought the story, which had come from Alexis Mardas, had been fabricated.) Lennon once said of the song: “That was inspired by Maharishi. I wrote it when we had our bags packed and were leaving. It was the last piece I wrote before I left India. I just called him, ‘Sexy Sadie,’ instead of (sings) ‘Maharishi what have you done, you made a fool...’ I was just using the situation to write a song, rather calculatingly but also to express what I felt. I was leaving the Maharishi with a bad taste. You know, it seems that my partings are always not as nice as I’d like them to be.” He told Rolling Stone that when the Maharishi asked why he was leaving, he replied, “Well, if you’re so cosmic, you’ll know why.”
After returning from India, Lennon scratched the lyrics into a piece of wood, with the original title “Maharishi”. The recorded version changed only after Harrison insisted that if the song were used he wanted the name changed and persuaded Lennon to change the title to “Sexy Sadie”
Meanwhile I’m seeing now the band Nickleback is threatening to PUT ON a concert in NC if the anti-trans law is not struck down! Kind of “we’ll play there to make a political statement” instead of refusing to play...
I always thought it was about a teenage girl who snuck out in “her mother’s high-heel shoes and her low-necked sweater.”
Good for Nickleback. I read another singer was doing a concert in support of the bathroom law.
