@seav Agreed. Damn good review of #TheBeatles Now & Then. Elliot Roberts is one of the more thoughtful Beatles observers around. Just realized how sad it is that Ian MacDonald isn't around to write about this song. His book #RevolutionintheHead changed how I think about music writing. But that kind of regret over loss is what Now & Then captures so well.
