Band on the Run
When I click on You Tube videos here, I can't hear any audio even tho the volume control is on high. I can watch them on IE but not Firefox. It is frustrating.
The Beatles are my top music group, followed by the WHO, Dylan, and Paul Simon. Oh, Leonard Cohen. It certainly dates me. For dancing, I love Motown hits and Sly and the Family Stone. Lyrics are important. Most of it has to do with youthful rebellion. My JW father despised John Lennon even more than Catholics. John became my hero, audacious to the end. Thumbing his nose at my father and receiving worldwide acclaim. When he died, I felt a personal loss which was surprising. I became friendly with the Dakota staff so I would know when he was in town. I never camped outside b/c I feared a bad reaction from him. Rather have my fantasies.
One year I went to Strawberry Fields in Central Park with a votive candle and cheap flowers on the anniversary of his death. The teenagers being snide with each and knowing nothing about the Beatles triggered me. David Peel and the Lower East blocked the traffic on Central Park West. I made a passing comment about how those young kids know no Beatle history and the staff who were present when he was murdered gave me a personal tour and re-enactment. They even let me go deep inside the entrance. If a Dakota resident came by, they might have lost their jobs.
I listen to the Beatles middle period or Dylan and I am totally shocked how well the music has stood up to changing times. Time lets me appreciate it even more.

OK, for the agnostic/atheist crowd, this is the ANTHEM:

Yes, Johnny Lydon (Johnny Rotten) nailed it. See the lyrics below:
Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the Christian religion made them blind
Where they hide
And prey to the God of a bitch spelled backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money
Effective
Absurd
Do you pray to the Holy Ghost when you suck your host
Do you read whos dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you cant afford
On bended knees and pray to lord
Fat pig priest
Sanctimonious smiles
He takes the money
You take the lies
This is religion and Jesus Christ
This is religion cheaply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin in eternal hymn
This is what theyve done
This is your religion
The apostles were eleven
Now theres a sod in Heaven
This is religion
Theres a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Your religion -

Jolene...I even like the singer better.
That was good. It's no wonder. The singer turns out to be Norah Jones!
