[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]****...I really need to get that album[/QUOTE]

That's the next album I'm getting, after Abbey Road.

I love that song though. I'm gonna try to play it for the Talent Show this year.

Im thinkin of gettin it next, but its expensive as hell here, so i might get Let it be or Let it be Naked next.

Get Let it be Naked.. I don't have the White Album either.

Dude, if you can afford it, go White Album instead. It owns Let It Be very much.

Im probably gonna get both, but when i feel like affording white album, i wont hesitate. Its defintaly one i want to purchase myself, not burn.

I'll have to try to find those :)

Hey WALRUS -- I went to Glassboro State in New Jersey during the 70's. It's now Rowan University as 10 or so years ago a guy named Rowan made an endowment of several million dollars to the school, so they changed the name of the school. Guess I'm a diploma orphan now. Hear if he would've thrown in a couple thousand more they would have changed the name of the whole town from Glassboro to Rowan. Yuk, Yuk... me bitter? Not really.

But yeah, we had Billy Joel appear running around on stage in a grey suit wearing sneakers right after the Turnstiles album release. After his next album, The Stranger, he got too big to be playing the campus circuit.

FYI -- My wife bought tickets for the McCartney show coming to Philly in September. Guess I'll be attending again, though no-one's twisting my arm if you know what I mean. ---- Hope I'm not assigned to photograph him for the newspaper that night... I don't have the same equipment storage privileges as I do in Atlantic City. That would suck.

And finally, I think asking for personal interpretations of lyrics is a fine idea in this thread. But write what it means to you personally. Reams have been written on the meanings, double meanings, triple meanings, etc, etc. Enough critics and doctoral thesis intellectual sleuths have already written books and books trying to get into Lennon's head. Tell why that particular song sings to you. Sure, Lennon took snippets from news, classical literature, and of course the new-found drug culture and mixed them together in various forms. He was a punster and loved to play with words. But he had a knack of finding the right combinations that touched everyone differently. Coupled with his bandmates, the music had a rare way of speaking to individuals individually. And that, of course, is why we are still sitting here today typing away, debating and discussing points and opinions, about a band that was at their height close to 40 years ago.

Quite remarkable when you think about it.
