Without Lennon, he would have been lucky to have found a gig as a studio musician in his later years. Even though he played several instruments well. And had perfect pitch in his voice.

This is absolutely the most insane take I've ever heard about the Beatles.

You may like Paul's contributions, you may not. You may like his solo work; you may not. But to infer he would've been "nothing" without Lennon is pure madness...unless perhaps you mean that Lennon kept him in the Beatles fold during the bleak / shaky immediately pre-Hamburg years. But surely Paul would've found his voice somewhere else, if not with the Beatles. He's first and foremost a composer - one of the greatest musical composers in human history.

“**Guess** that tune.”

You misspelled “Google” Wind Beneath My Wings

“Drugs and Demons

They played around with both. And lost.”

Yep. But that began well before they went to India.

And, no, average ten year old kids in Uganda don’t know who the Beatles are.

I remember 25 years ago or so I worked with and made a lot of friends from Asia. They didn’t know who the Beatles were, much less Led Zep, Pink Floyd etc...

Man it was so refreshing to be with people not tainted by our pop culture fluff.

That would be “Wind Beneath my Wings”.

IMO, the version by Gary Morris is far superior to Midler’s. And I’m not just saying that because Midler is a bitter, twisted, leftist hag.

Actually, Giles Martin (George’s son) remixed & remastered for CD, Vinyl and Hi-Rez “24-bit/96khz” on Blu-Ray and Digital Download.

The new 50yr anniversary sounds super transparent allowing one to hear more subtle details and voices sounding more real & natural. REALLY an amazing remix/remastering - esp the Hi-Rez 24/96 digital files.

There’s also “acoustic versions” recorded at George Harrison’s house before they went to the studio.

Finally, studio demos are included in various packages of the 50yr release.

Yes, you see what I mean.

I still say Pepper is by far their most boring album.

Beatles and John Lennon are saints in the new leftist orthodoxy.

I asked Gary how much those guys have probably made off that song by now (they are still getting residuals of course).

His guess was $10 million.

I agree. I have watched from stage as Gary reduced a lot of women to tears with that song.

My daughter can’t get through it without bawling her eyes out.

I’m cool with that. I’ve been bored with plenty of things that excite others too.

“Actually, Giles Martin (George’s son) remixed & remastered for CD, Vinyl and Hi-Rez “24-bit/96khz” on Blu-Ray and Digital Download.”

I wonder what George would think of that. I was at a lecture by him where he was taking written questions from the audience. One was “Analog or digital?”

He basically said, “Digital can do a lot of things, and you young people are welcome to use it. I’ll stick with analog.”

Kind of like Rupert Neve, who just built his last famous analog studio mixing board for Eagle Wind Studio in Winter Park, Colorado. He’s retiring as he won’t build digital.

And Lennon is the only one to have a signature guitar made. Gibson did a Lennon Les Paul Special for a year or two that was very limited production based on the one he had modified towards the end of their run. It’s sort of on my guitar bucket list should I hit a lottery or some other unexpected windfall.

I mean exactly that.

The leftist socialist orthodoxy, represented by the Sanders, Occassio-Cortezes et al and their Cide Pink type associates have an entire orthodoxy and Lennon and Ono are part if it.

Imagine etc...

The left loves, respects and worships their pop culture icons.

They’re considered leaders and prophets seers and saints.

Modern liberal society revolves around them in so many ways in a way similar that church and religion held in the past.

The pantheon continues. They see people like Jay-Z and Beyonce as newer ones.

A lot changed between the time Sgt Pepper came out and the White Album.

Yeah. It’s weird because Sgt Gets all the hype, but that’s what it is.

It’s a bit of 60’s mythologizing, Summer of Love and all that.

My take on the Beatles is perhaps unique. I couldn't stand them when they were active (of course I was just a little kid then), but lately I find myself listening a lot to their early stuff. The reason I do so is because I associate the early Beatles with my childhood, just as I do Captain Kangaroo. The Beatles craze hit when I was six and a half years old, and I remember when they were talked about contantly. I also remember the old Rankin-Bass cartoon featuring the voice of Paul Frees.

When I listen to those early songs now I can't help but wonder how four people could be so creatively talented. I also can't help but wonder what in the sam hill happened to them in 66-67. They unfortunately revealed themselves as among the most evil people to have ever lived when they became the initiators of the 60s counterculture revolution. The entire era and movement was basically set in motion by the Beatles, and their wholesome fun early songs degenerated into bizarre surreal nonsense (not that that doesn't have its place) and Marxist and cultural Marxist evil. And the change from one to the other--from early sixties wholesome songsters to the ultimate drugged out hippies--basically occurred over a mere number of months.

I don't think I'll ever understand or like them, but I don't envision ceasing to listen to the songs of my childhood any time soon.
