Time to go back to school. You’re not fit to empty out Bangs’ bong water.
But I admit it was beautifully produced, worlds better as a song than John’s Nowhere man, and I only skip it half the time when I listen to this album, which was always one of my favorites. OTOH, there’s the movie, but I think we’ll all agree about that. :eek:
Barely knew him and never got the chance to find out, but he did try to get me to read some novels by Celine. Perhaps he was trying to punish me, but my masochistic hero worship went only 75 pages into Journey to the End of the Night.
I’ve always liked Macca’s ‘Music Hall’ side, so ‘Your Mother Should Know’ has always been a favorite - then again, I enjoy the unsettling L.A. frisson of ‘Blue Jay Way’. I’m all over the map with the lads, it seems.
Got a kick now that I know where the ‘Death Cab for Cutie’ band reference comes from and wonder if the “Your Hostess here is Wendy…You’ll find her very friendly” line from ‘On with the Show’ is a Rolling Stones tip-of-the-hat to MMT.
MMT was first shown on December 26, 1967, after Satanic Majesties had already been released.
I was so young when I first heard this album, but I couldn’t stop listening to it. Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane were just my favorite, I wanted to go to those places.
I voted for The Fool on the Hill. I heard it for the first time when I bought the remastered album in '09; originally I bought the album primarily for I Am the Walrus. Fool blew me away, though.
