    The most overbloated, self-righteous and compostionally mundane of songs. Still it gives those who want to believe themselves deep and hip something to latch on to. The rest of us will simply call it out for the very ordinary composition it is and one that pretends to be deep and meaningful. If you want great words of wisdom then go read some of the classic poets of the last century. If you want melody listen to Chopin or Mozart. If you want both Amazing Grace beats Imagine by a massive yard.

    After diving into the Beatles catalogue, I really appreciate what they contributed to music. New techniques, new sound, doing things nobody else was… true pioneers of music and the pop culture of the time. I will forever respect and love them, not only as someone who loves music, but someone who loves their music.

    PiD I'm no scientist sir. But if you can explain to me how the shape of Paul's head changed from mostly round to oblong. I would love to hear your explanation. Not arguing with you. But you probably would lose viewers on your channel if you told the truth. So I guess lying is just better

    I would say John Paul even George got very competitive, you see this on the White Album in particular, if John says Paul sabotaged Across the Universe, Paul could counter than John brought in Phil Spector who destroyed his song The Long and Winding Road with that Choir which Paul hated, it also appeared on John's song. They both treat George badly Paul was hyper critical but at least he bothered to turn up, John never took George seriously at all but had a fit of pique because George did not give him enough credit in his book. Alright Georges first good song was If I needed someone, he wrote three greats While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something and Here Comes the Sun while John was doing Revolution 9 and Paul was doing Maxwells Silver Hammer. Ringo got the best deal after they broke up all three of his former bandmates were not doing to allow Ringo to disappear into obscurity. From 68 onward they were four individuals pushing for album space, George managed to get a full three set album out of songs John and Paul had kicked into touch. The Beatles might not have died with Brian Epstein, but their comradery did .

    Just so people know, that Ringo made his first appearance at the cavern with the beatles. It wasn't the first time he'd actually played with them, he'd performed many times as a stand in during their earlier hamburg day's, when Pete best failed to turn up or had been sick, and these shows went very well, but Ringo was in another band at the time, the other band was very popular so Ringo wasn't going to leave them to join the beatles. Even if he'd been asked at the time..

    Great spot with harmonium and Paul's Mellotron part. We weren't there, so as a 'good' historian. I have an M.Phil, it was other things but The Beatles are one of my specialities particularly production techniques. But you are correct, Lennon was indeed banging a very basic into to Strawberry Fields on the is, I've forgotten the name for that annoying instrument lol, and I play recorder...but it was Strawberry Fields. No doubt. What tended to happen, was McCartney was by this point eclipsing the other beatles musically. He's like our Hayden now. How John would have developed we'll never know, but by this point McCartney was the best or most adapt 'composer' of the group even if he couldn't read and write music. Not, the best writer and never really did surpass Lennon in this respect, because Paul had to please he didn't know 'how to turn off his mind, relax and float down stream' that's what made Lennon the best writer within The Beatles because it was effortless for him. George learnt this trick but had less of it than John. But I digress it would have been Paul with his magpie like musical vocabulary that would have stored it for later. And thus you can't blame him for claiming he wrote it. And of course, Paul may have taught it to John. Unlikely though. But that's the brilliance of course of Lennon and McCartney. The issue is now, and I love The Beatles and I wasn't there but I'm young enough and by starting at 10 years when I had every Beatle song on tape and indeed sheet music and learnt the melodies on recorder. Then keyboard and guitar and everything now, but on 87. The 20 years thing was going on, and John at that point was as Paul put it - St John. He could do no wrong. He was the avant-garde Beatle. Stuff like this, this narrative, some it of it obviously true through evidence...McCartney was just as avant-garde and was the 1st of The Beatles to get into it. But then you have problems like this and who did what and how and why. And Paul, and again I can't make a judgement I can only report how the historical narrative has changed, but Paul has been slowly claiming more and more of Lennon or what are or were and John himself has claimed as his, more and more. An example of this is In My Life where John claims it 90 percent his, Paul did the middle 8 maybe. This is from one of his last interviews. But Paul now, claims he wrote most of the melody. Ringo can't remember. And George is dead. You see what I'm saying? Again I'm a historian, but up until a few years ago unless it was in Barry Miles book, I can't remember Paul ever claiming he wrote the melody to In My Life. And if he did, I know where there would be two sources. I suspect George Martin had a large part thinking about. I reckon Ai could give us a definitive answer. I'd have to really listen. I haven't listened for a while the plaintive opening guitar notes - if they were George or John. Of course Martin played the solo slowed down and sped up. No it would have been interesting to see whether John could have stayed with Paul on a musical level. I think history now shows that John needed Paul more the the other way round. Yes, Paul made odd choices and needed John's hardness - but John needed Paul because John was lazy. Double Fantsy and Milk and Honey was just Plastic Ono Band but with session players. Levin was wrong bassist. Not for Yoko Walking on Thin Ice best song from those sessions, but John hadn't progressed musically in comparison to Paul. Maybe if Vaugn and Ringo had played...you might have got POB2. And even though Nobody Told Me is a great Lennon Instant Karma cover. It again shows Lennon needed something to get him going. Like Yoko and WOTI. Otherwise it's all pretty limp. Beautiful Boy is nice. Woman isn't Oh Yoko. I digress, but I was impressed with the spot though. And on the evidence, I'd give the idea of Mellotron and ironing John's initial idea out and unconsciously. I doubt Lennon would have remembered that moment apart from the odd chord refrain which is him and again unconsciously

    It was wonderful that Paul and John collaborated so well in writing many many great hits for the Beatles not all of them I thought were great Not all of them I thought were good Some I thought absolutely stunk, being a drug and alcohol and family counselor hearing John says he doesn't care if they accept it He doesn't care if they don't like it ... LET ME TELL YOU THAT'S PAIN TALKING ABOUT NOT BEING ACCEPTED and allowed to be in the inner circle of John and Paul Paul and John and how Ringo kept the float of these narcissistic egotists ... It is so f****** sad to hear the guys you loved and thought loved and respected each other ... Was not true In fact take me pretty clickish What a terrible existence that would be and I can't imagine cuz I was in many bands and only the first band I was in that such personal egos destroyed the band right when we got a record contract then all of a sudden the very guys they wouldn't even help me with backup vocals as the lead vocalist when we got the record contract everybody wanted to be the f****** lead singer and the producer came walking in and said f*** all of you except you pointing to me says you got 24 hours to find another band but when you guys approached me and I came to see you this guy was doing all the vocals and none of you guys were singing not all of a sudden all of you want to be the singer Well f*** you and the horse you rode on You meaning me Eric got 24 hours to fight another band Of course I didn't find one but what I did find was the greatest bunch of guys and gals and we had an absolute ball for 25 years and we delivered the goods to the audience the audience loved us and we love them and we loved each other They were eight of us and we were a family!

    I think Paul did undercoverly sabotaged John's best songs, at lest some of them, especially those created (or just born) spontaneously Paul was a perfectionist, and John loved spontaneity This is why John wrote: "The only think you've done was 'Yesterday' (a spontaneously written dong), and since you're gone you're just 'Another Day' (a perfectly arranged 'little nothing', an 'easy listening' number.

    The other problem I'd argue is how black and gay people are always grouped together. They're not one in the same. It's not always, but usually white people that refer to the lgbtq+ & black community as a whole. And if not intended, it sure as hell comes across that way. You don't group a race and gender identity as a single group. As this once great but racist octogenarian president once said, 'c'mon man!'

    I have been up there on Google Maps. I found the house also. I don't know what it looked like in 1967, the houses look very modern there now. Be interesting to find an actual photo or photos of the street from 1960s, surely someone somewhere took some. Has a good view of L.A, as long as its not too smoggy. I do love the song since I first heard in 1988. I was only 15, so born 6 years after George created this song.
