You mean Paul McCartney was in the TV Show with Thomas Haden Church?
which episode I must’ve missed it
As long as you didn’t drink Jaeger. 
So, how is your campaign for “biggest overreacting jackass with no concept of reality” going? I suspect you’ve got a formidable lead.
I’m 31, and I never heard of it either, nor did I have a clue who sang it until this thread. Why should I? I don’t listen to classic rock. Except, apparently, Sweet Home Alabama, and that’s only because it’s played on every damn movie on the planet. I’m even sure it was playing during *Braveheart, Gladiator, * and The Passion of the Christ. But that’s a lame rant for another thread.
Mary Chapin Carpenter is from this area.
Please do continue to post here, because I’m looking forward to hearing more about your financial opinions and ideas, including that you have no interest in owning stock and believe that “using them to make money is ethically wrong.” You keep your money “in the bank in an interest-free account, mainly because I see no reason to hoard my money in an interest-generating savings account.” You have no interest in buying a house/condo/property. Retailers should sell stuff for less so people will buy more. And that it’s not all that expensive to run a messageboard.
You sure it wasn’t just to gossip about his wife paying for his theatre ticket?

Please tell me you are NOT referring to the fucking BEATLES as a “lame hippie band?”
:eek:
They were good until Yoko got near. Then they became a lame hippie band.
News flash. The Beatles SUCK!
It’s true, kids today have access to a billion more bands then kids in the 60’s did. They don’t have to settle for the fucking Beatles.
Strawberry Fields Forever sucks as well. The recording is dated, the music is mediocre and the lyrics are just dumb.
That was the Stones, wasn’t it? “I said hey! {hey} you! {you} get off of my lawn!”
It doesn’t anymore. I threw up a short article on the ranch and changed the title of the band’s article.
If I were working at Starbucks and someone asked me an off the wall question like this that had jack-all to do with coffee or anything else we sold, I would play as dumb as humanly possible. I’d probably say “Sure, but ever since I’ve been taking Claritin, it’s gone away.”
Come on. People don’t ask stuff like that to be friendly; they do it to prove that they’re hipper than you. Why prove them wrong? Why not have a little fun with them?

Nice work.
I’m a Beatles fan, but that was the doing of my father. It’s also why I’m a fan of the Clash and the B-52s and Devo. Otherwise? Heh. I would have no idea. I’m 27. I don’t know many Rolling Stones songs because my father hated them.
When my husband greeted one of our cats by saying, “Hey, Bulldog!” I looked up at him and said, “Oh, wow, I just got that song today! Spooky. I was listening to it, like, five minutes before you got home.” He looks at me and says, “Song? By who?” He’s 25.
Two of my exes also had no clue what songs the Beatles did. Well, one of them claimed to hate the Beatles, because all they ever wrote was “sappy little three minute songs, like *I Wanna Hold Your Hand * and crap like that.” I played him a few songs like “Strawberry Fields Forever”, “I Am the Walrus” (for the hell of it, and to show some whackiness), “Across the Universe” - he was stunned. He had no idea that the Beatles “could sound so good”. He was 20 at the time, he’s 25 now.
My other ex is 24. He can be quoted wildly. One gem: “What the hell did the Beatles ever do for music that was so damn great? I don’t understand how they influenced anybody. I only like pioneers. The Beatles suck.”
And maybe they do. Maybe they do. I like 'em, though. But I notice, among my peers, that the Beatles are barely a blip at the bottom of their musical radar. They were the band that had the guy my mother had a crush on when she was a teenager. How lame is that? 
Naw, it was played heavily on our local stations. Dunno about the rest of the country, but here they played at least once a day. In fact, I was listening to the radio on the day of this story - I rarely buy CDs at all.
Well, I’m 28 and have never heard that song. Can’t say it has affected me in the slightest.
I’m 27, and while I know that Strawberry Fields Forever is a Beatles song, I could not give you any of the lyrics or hum the chorus. Also, Mary Chapin Carpenter is a great songwriter and singer, and her version of Mark Knopfler’s “The Bug” is absolutely stellar. I give the OP about a 4 – all for sheer emotion. Maybe a 5 if he’s not over-caffeinated.
What’s all this about Harry Chapin and The Carpenters now?
Speak up, sonny!
Let’s take this recent conversation I had with my 18 year old step-daughter as a case for the barista’s lack of knowledge. Some new group was palying a cover of “Behind Blue Eyes” on the radio.
Me: “Hey, Behind Blue Eyes! That’s a great song.
Her:” You know it?"
Me: “Yeah. It’s by The Who.”
Her: “The Who??? What a stupid name for a band!”
