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 @jake4480 @soundclamp they really were. Although the best best beatles were The Better Beatles
(I have no idea where I heard about this back in the day, but do NOT sleep on The Better Beatles.)
The Better Beatles - Mercy Beat 1981 (full album, 2007)
@jake4480 @theotherbrook @soundclamp yeah you're all welcome. the better beatles are CRAZY cool. I actually just looked them up for the first time, and they were about what you would think. I love punks.
@jake4480 @theotherbrook @soundclamp honestly I'm pretty sure I found this record searching for the Beatles on Limewire.
Much like I found Stockhausen is my Dick by Vaginal Beer https://www.discogs.com/release/1576357-Vaginal-Beer-Karl-Heinz-Stockhausen-Is-My-Dick
@alisynthesis hahahaaa LIMEWIRE. I just found Vaginal Beer on Soulseek. It's not even on YouTube haha. The Best Beatles aren't even on Soulseek. Obscure 2007 tunes!
@jake4480 I can hook you up with better beatles...
Rob@alisynthesis @jake4480
oh, that is seriously bent.
Saw your wikipedia post and see the Resident vibes (from what I can remember) - got the chance to see the Residents back in the day with Snakefinger before he past. I miss totally crazy people.
@alisynthesis
Awesome. They had blowup reindeer scattered all over the stage when I saw them (probably mid-80s) - that sort of things stays with you.
The mall was wierd in other ways 😜.
