There was no cohesion to the White Album, it was just a bunch of drug-induced ramblings thrown together in no logical pattern. Yes, there are a few good songs, but most of it is noise.

That's Paul playing drums on the Ballad of John & Yoko.

It was also the last thing they recorded as a band. I was a junior in high school and bought it the day it came out. The dude next to me in homeroom told me it was supposed to be coming into the Hatboro Music Shop and I went that afternoon and picked it up.
You didn’t have to hear a Beatles album to decide whether or not to buy it. You just bought it, brought it home, put it on your meatgrinder record player, and enjoyed a whole new bunch of great music.
Those were the days.

Thanks. I enjoyed watching that.

I was very saddened when he died because at the time of his death he seemed to finally be entering a time in his life where was, for the first time, content and happy with himself and his life. Double Fantasy was one of the happiest records I've heard, especially, as you say, in light of Lennon's 'complexity' -- i.e. his perpetual pissing and moaning. Great record, excellent guitar playing, lots of whimsy and the joy of fatherhood was positively inspiring.
That record and "The Jealous Kind" by Delbert McClinton, and later Steve Winwood's "Arc of Diver" set the stage for a very happy decade. At least, they did for me.

It’s kind of likely the kid did draw the picture, make the statement and his higher than a kite Dad put two and two together in his drug induced haze..... so both stories are true. Ya think?

That was debunked years ago.

I think there was a time when composers experimented with halucinogens to heighten creativity, for sure.
To: wagglebee
100% agree. I just wish they’d rethought the inclusion of “Octopus’s Garden.”

OG is a fun song to play actually. My grandson loves when I strum and sing my rendition for him.

That might explain its inclusion, or maybe they just wanted to throw Ringo a bone. I have to admit, whenever I
don't skip over the song, it makes me think of the movie
A Hard Day's Night. Poor Ringo.
I'm not a musician, so I can't really assess it from that standpoint. I'll keep that in mind, and the next time I listen to it I'll pay closer attention to the musicianship. It's just so hard to block out the awful lyrics!

LOL...I didn’t say it was a musical masterpiece or even hard to play (its not) but just that it is fun with the youngin (just as Rocky Raccoon, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, Bungalow Bill are).

A time? Was there ever at time when they didn't? ;^)
Ok, perhaps when the Psalms were written...

Oh, I get it! The Beatles version of “Crocodile Rock.”

OMG, Paul is not wearing shoes, and he is out of step with the other three. Take Two.
