For inclusion in the Uber SHoF... "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" by the Beatles

Most people probably think it's about drugs or is in reference to Yoko... maybe it is... but the lyrics are mostly about Transcendental Meditation. Stuff the Maharishi would ( Read more... )

Anyway, she came back eventually. She often meets people in the store and talks for ages...

Regarding my list of songs.... Here's the backlog, as I just want to get it out there. The intention is to write a little bit about why each song is special to me... and maybe I will do that today.... but at the moment, I just want to list the ones that are ( Read more... )
