L'Dys & Gntl'mn, Tha Beatles!

V’been listening to the Beatles a bit more lately. If anyone is humble enough to care.

I recently purchased the Beatles Anthology box set and am more than tickled with the content. Right now they just covered Sgt. Pepper’s. Universally speaking, I’m not sure there was a more popular group of musicians to ever record a collection of songs save for the Beatles. When they made their mark, they tore right through the canvas, not to mention the easel in which the canvas was set. No, I’d say the Beatles were a group whose importance can only be faintly realized, even now some almost 50 years after their initial conception. I’d say either some greater being was present during their existence or they are simply put, the best band ever to evolve from stolen Rock’n’Roll.

To be honest, I consider myself a mediocre run-of-the-mill Beatles fan. An individual whose been hooked on the keen sound, and as a result, can never listen to music the same again.

Yes they are the greatest band ever. But 4 posts in 4 days?

They Might Be Giants are feeling neglected.

Without a doubt they are the greatest rock n roll band ever (With the possible exception of The Rutles-who, by band member Ron Nasty's account, are "bigger than Rod").

Say-when was the last time that all of us shared the same musical opinion, anyway?

This looks like four gents on a typical night out in Madison...

...they even seem to have that same somber, depressed expression that the aforementioned four gents from Madison would probably have on the typical night out in Madison.

JDot said...

Yes. This is the 4 of us.

I'm Paul.

gdub said...

Except none of us would be sitting so upright.

I seem to mention that 1 of them, the first 1, was posted by GDub.

Take that to the bank and smoke it? (huh?)

(Hello Nasy, where you been? Out in the back smokin' joints.)

To be honest, I consider you a mediocre run-of-the mill human being.

At best.

Doubtful.

I'm John...

If your Paul, then you must be dead...

JDot said...

I'd rather be DEAD than John.

GDub is Ringo. But I like ringo.

GDub could be Brian.

Frybyrd said...

G Dub could be Pete Best...

JDot said...

I was thinking Brian Epstein because he was gay.

JDot said...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

gdub said...

I'm Yoko.

JDot said...

I can see that.
