[QUOTE=Mercenary-;30456728]Is And Your Bird Can Sing talking about hinduism right here?

Well it's a Lennon song which he often called a throwaway. Could be loosely based on Lennon's learning a little about Hinduism.
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;30458363]Why?
Also it's so funny how paul played drums on dear prudence. I would have never guessed until I read it wherever I did.[/QUOTE]
It's so close but tickets are so expensive.
Yeah, I don't know if I'll be able to go either, but I will try as hard as I can to do it!

I checked tickets and the cheapest I've found are $200 a ticket.
I've pretty much given up all hope. :frown:
I found them for a lot cheaper than that

That's just from one site
I still don't know if I'll be able to go to NY or pay for these tickets.
Well Hobo, you could always show up and hope to bum tickets off people. Some folks will sell 'em at the show for some odd reason. Or, you could get lucky like this girl who went to Paul's show when he came through my area. It was a middle-aged woman and her little girl, they were outside awaiting to enter as the little girl's Daddy got in earlier. The Mom and the little girl were out on the corner of the street when a bigass limo pulls up. Turns out it was Paul's stage manager. The guy offerred the two of them two front row tickets, seat numbers 8 & 9. They actually recorded some of the show and put it on Youtube. The little girl was recording Lady Madonna and right as Paul goes into the second verse he looks straight into the little girls camera. She almost dropped it. :v:
6 potential Beatley apng avatars, how am I to choose? :saddowns:
Just got a big Abbey Road poster.. Its fucking awesome.
I'm officially declaring a Beatles weekend.
Haven't listened to them in forever and it feels weird.
To celebrate, a new avatar. Now you can all see how displeased Glorious King Ringo is at all times of the day!
That mustache looks glorious :allears:
Every weekend is a Beatles weekend :buddy:
Not when you've been taking a break from listening to the Beatles they're not.
I'm afraid of the thought that I might get tired of The Beatles, I'm already a bit like that, for example, if I see a name of a song say A day in the life I think "oh it's got that annoying loud orchestra part in it" but if I listen to the song I wonder why I thought it was annoying, the song is a masterpiece and that part only makes it better. But I do this with most of the songs that I've heard a great number of times except for the ones I've heard before or haven't heard that many times.

Do what I've been doing.
Stop listening to the Beatles almost completely for a few months.
You'll be able to branch out a ton more and when you resume listening to them it'll almost feel like brand new music.
added some shit to my wall that I've had laying around for a while

Fancy.
I think I've been unintentionally doing that, the only record I played last week was Hard days night (separate parents, only records at my mothers house) and the week before that I only played Meet the Beatles, and I didn't play them both many times, about 5 times I think. But I think this might actually work, I'll try to be out as much as possible and play my guitar and then I'll get back to it in about a month, thanks.

Or even better, just rotate your collection.
I don't think "growing away" from them is a good idea. Because that way you may forget why you liked them in the first place.
I don't always listen to just one thing at a time. I usually rock my shuffle on my iPod and just listen to whatever crops up. That way I don't get tired of hearing just one type of music all the time.
Shuffle is amazing when listen to something like Iron Maiden then the next song is a Beatles song for example and they just blend. It's weird but cool.
My walls are plaster so I can only use those sticky hooks to hang things up and the [I]always [/I]come out crooked and it bothers me so much. :argh:

Mind if I ask where ya' got that Sgt. Pepper's clock, Pascall? It looks so amazing.
Uhhh I totally don't remember. From some little store. I got it for Christmas last year.
I have to try to get myself not to listen to the beatles or the police or the gorillaz.
I have a habit of only listening to a few bands over and over again, and I'd really like to branch out more.

Try branching into more forms of rock, but going into other things like jazz, blues and soul is really good to do.
Besides soul those are the only things I listen to if I do end up bored of those 3 bands.
I've found my musical interests reinvented in the blues. I went searching through my old man's CD collection and found a ton of blues stuff. (He's a big blues buff.) I found Muddy Waters' greatest, I found the London Howlin' Wolf sessions, B.B. King, Robert Johnson, all sortsa stuff.

Listen to the Blues Brothers

DOIT
I do have them on my computer, as well as a bunch of James Brown and some others.
I just wish I listened to more besides those 3 bands, and rock or jazz or blues or whatever.
There are still a lot of other genres out there.
