everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all.
hey team.
So, in an effort to continue updating, I'm going to recap the past day or so's events.
Yesterday was the last day of exams, capping off my three-day midterm period, which was pretty awesome. I'm glad I only had to take five. Finals, I'm looking at a maximum of four, with the actual figure probably being nearer to two.
Last night, I went to the Rain show, which is a Beatles tribute band. They were really good, and it made me think a lot.
Now, I love the Beatles. I consider them to be my favorite band. I have every album they've released, along with something to the effect of seven tee shirts, posters, documentaries, books, etc. I've also seen the Fab Faux, another tribute band. I know them quite well. I've always considered myself to be a later-Beatles kinda guy. I love their old stuff, but I've leaned toward Magical Mystery Tour, Revolver, Rubber Soul, and Abbey Road, especially lately. At the show, they played the material in chronological order. They started with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," and ended with "Let It Be." In terms of concerts, I think that they never produced better material than their first few albums, probably up through Help!. I might even go so far as to say that the Beatles may have been less successful had they continued to tour after 1966. Their stuff got weird. They delved into Pepperland and everything, but I do not think that the magic they created in the studio could have been replicated on stage, even with guest musicians. And the fact that listening to their old stuff was so cool is making me listen to their old stuff summore. I'm listening to Please Please Me, and it's so freaking good. So yeah. I mean, part of their popularity, in addition to being the best pop music of all time, was definitely made more interesting by the fact that it was so mysterious. The Beatles didn't tour. They were a bunch of shut-ins at Abbey Road who kept churning out these amazing records. They didn't try out songs in front of live audiences. They just laid down the tracks and sold zillions of copies. I think that made them more popular. Anyway, their old stuff is just better to listen to live. Give me "I Saw Her Standing There" over "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" live any day.
My now playing was a band Lindy recommended to me. That was the last track. It was awesome. I was blown away. Kinda dance pop, but too mellow to be dancey. I'm not sure, but I love the Beatles so freaking much.
Just one more thing girl, you give back your ring to me and I will set you free. Go with him. all of my life, I've been searchin for a girl to love me like I love youuuuuu. Causel et me tell you now. Every girl I've ever had breaks my hert and leaves me sad. What am I supposed to dooooo? Dude, they were always awesome.
So yeah.
I slept over Kevin's last night. He beat me a lot in floor hockey. Turns out I'm terrible. In a related story, we both woke up really late. Then I came home, took a shower, ate dinner, and I think I'm going to go to Pat Murphy's house this evening.
I wish I could play with the Beatles. I'd so be Ringo if it means I'd get to play just one song with them. That's be sweet.
Out.
Much Love,
John
