    Watch This

    Hey, ya'll watch this. I am seriously interested in just hearing what people think, feel, as they, after they, watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Y9Y...eature=related

    For me, its the most complicated mix of conflicting thoughts and moods, amazing. But I don't want to influence anyone's response. What do you all think of this?

    Hearing it tonight, I remember how amazing that song seemed to an 8 year old. A billion songs later and I can still be amazed by recording artists; but that song was probably my first glimpse into the emotional movement possible with music.

    Thanks for the post,

    Ross

    PS: What sounds like a million females simutaneously loosing their minds seemed very important then, and remains a sound fairly (fully?) unique to early Beatles recordings. A moment in time...

      The sound track of our lives.

      I loved those guys in jr high, high school, college, Vietnam, Korea, Iran and still love their music to this day.

        Not a good mix of the whole band. Occasional shots of George, Paul, and Ringo, lots of close-ups of John.

          I was thinking how much better their music got to be after they started using lsd and other pyschedelic drugs.

          edit to add: Although I do like A hard Day's Night.

          Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

                  I was 16 years old...what 16 year old doesn't remember spring as exciting…summer as the most wondrous...fall as romantic... and for me the winter was the crystal chrysalis of my transition

                  this was our theme music
                  The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
                  Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

                      To me it was so jarring to see them young, and me old, when I first heard it, it was the opposite, to me.

                      And they were better live than I have been led to believe, amazing sheer talent.

                      Soundtrack of my life. The most intensely powerful and emotional performance experience I have ever had was seeing Paul McCartney live in 2003, I think it was. He played lots of Beatles songs, and the performances were perfect, he had a band that could perfectly replicate the familiar sound of the recordings, it was amazing, every song he played was part of the soundtrack of my life, and all around in the audience people were crying throughout. And Paul is mesmerizing, amazing, the most awesome sheer amazing talent I have ever seen in person. Go and see him before he dies, and we do, is all I can say. He was half of it all, and there's just him and Ringo left, I am so glad I can tell my grandchildren I saw Paul.

                              Pugwash, say what you will of McCartney, their partnership ignited John's genius which you acknowledge, as well as McCartney's which you don't, but thats alright, thats a matter of taste. McCartney is a natural, born musical genius, John was a man with a deep moral sense, and an activism and perhaps naive belief that a simple message of peace and love could truly change the world, and if they had never met, i doubt we would know these things about them.

                              Has paul produced anything since Maybe I'm Amazed that is transcendant? Well, honestly, no. Was Double Fantasy really that great? No, by then, John was right there with Paul, in the "getting kinda schlocky" area.

                              I admire Paul as a way of honoring the Beatles.
