@historyrock_ Lost weight for/during How I Won The War & MEGA Lysergic use. This is Oct ‘66. Met Yoko Nov ‘66 and relationship started in ‘68. Commie/Trotsky is an inexpensive assessment. Not necessarily untrue, but a bit lazy. Some troll at the time called him the fat Beatle. It got to him.
@FXMC1957 There’s clip of this in “The Compleat Beatles” doc narrated by Malcolm McDowell from ‘83 or ‘84. So enamored by it I was as a boy that I bought all early Beatles albums thinking it’d be on one of their records. Nope! Then I got enamored by what was on the records. Gateway song
@zakwilliams I am so sorry Zak. Your Pop's words, charity, and wisdom inhabit all of our thoughts, conversations, and actions. He was just a Genius of JOY. Your Pop was pure "JOY".
@rocknrollscars On cassette no less…that’s RAD. Would love to have been able to have put that cherished rectangle of joy, abandon, and moodiness in my talking Chrysler LeBaron’s tape deck circa 1990.
@batcountry1980 There are some really killing live versions where Ringo is just bashing a huge Mersey beat out over the band. Studio version is obviously magical and pop perfection, but some of those live recordings, Ringo takes it to another level of RAWK! \m/
@JohnDensmore@JimMorrison Love you John Densmore. Sorry. You lost a brother, collaborator & friend. No one sees that due to Lizard K myth. You, Jim, Robbie & Ray came up w/ song after song of greatness in the American Songbook. You guys are magic. Plus, Riders On The Storm - best Rock bios ever! Cheers
@all90saltrock Tough call…they’re kind of “sister” albums. I lean OK Computer. I guess Thom threw out the original masters and they re-recorded the whole thing. It’s Rubber Soul and Revolver. Bends is sacred but it’s like the Hobbit and OK Computer is LOTR. Yes yes I totally nerded my pants.
