Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I never did care at all for the Beatles. Maybe I was just born old, I guess, but they just left me flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke 'um Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 On the cover, Paul is barefooted. This is supposed to mean he is dead. In the pre-photo photo he is wearing sandles of some sort. This must mean his death was staged (faked). Another ancient mystery solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was supposed to be one of the major clues pointing to the "fact" that Paul was dead. Probably had more to do with the fact that Paul was left handed.

Then I went on to work with all the losers in our Aerospace Industry developing way “far out man” technologies in the Star Wars program. Then, because of my addiction to service I went to work in the public sector on rail transit. Been doing that for 33 years, so yeah, my life got all messed up by the Beatles. Hell, it drove me to running sound for rock & roll and heavy metal bands as a hobby. Beatles music was also the “gateway” for me to get into harder music, like Satan’s heavy metal! My life has been a mess, for cryin’ out loud! I even go so far as to obey the law and pay taxes! I’m a flippin’ mess! Sorry Henry, I couldn’t resist.

Calamity Kris Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 All four of the gents have/had gone on to great solo careers on their own. Paul and Ringo's careers are still going well into their 70's. George and John's albums are still selling well today. Mediocre musicians don't get that far..... Well, I've been a fan of the Beatles since I was young. I have also gone on to a 30+ year career in very difficult and challenging industry. I too work hard, pay my taxes and earn a good clean living. I guess if that makes me a part of a generation of kids who's lives were ruined by drugs, so be it. Be aware of how wide a brush you use. You might snare more than you bargained for.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 As musicians they were average pop musicians but as writers they did write some pretty good songs. If you hear some of their songs played by symphony orchestras they’re really pretty good. I think Paul was the real brains in the songwriting dept. but that’s just my opinion of being a musician for 50 + years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I agree, Rye. Paul has even written some symphonic stuff. We were all just kids then, and had our own tastes in music. Myself, I like a lot of '60's and '70's pop tunes, but, I also loved Big Band music as well. If I can understand the words, hear good harmonies, I'm okay with it.

The kids gave up on their parents' cancerous brew of booze and tobacco, and found their way into drugs instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
