Jake in the desertI love songs by millionaires telling us we can't always get what we want, or that love is all we need
Dan Kletter 🥑@jake4480 ALL WE ARE SAYIN’…
Alison Wilder@jake4480 @soundclamp I rarely boost without alt text but more people should see this, lol
John Lennon was such a blatant hypocrite. As anyone who is that preachy usually is.
@alisynthesis @soundclamp ha! I should've alt texted, I usually do. Not usually with replies. Yeah, I liked Lennon as a kid, but later, became a Paul guy. Lennon had many issues. He later apologized for Jealous Guy, etc. I even read his books. But yeah. Super problematic.
The Other Brook@jake4480 @alisynthesis @soundclamp As a reasonably well-off kid from a dysfunctional family, Lennon is unfortunately more relatable to most people with the surplus cognition to call themselves Beatles fans than the three poor kids who were in the band with him. "Revolution" is such a radical statement in defense of not upsetting the status quo.
As I've gotten older I've found myself respecting George more than either John or Paul. Not that he didn't have his own bullshit (like, couldn't he have just murdered Eric Clapton and made the world a better place?) but he has a naked honesty in his work that they rarely, if ever, achieved.
@theotherbrook @jake4480 @soundclamp yeah I would pick George if I had to pick a Beatle.
But honestly, I would pick Ray Davies.
@theotherbrook @alisynthesis @soundclamp wooo the Kinks! Yeah. I should play some of theirs later. Used to do a TON.
