You Never Give Me Your Money
In honor of the fascinating book that I received for my birthday Monday (still don’t know from whom, but thanks!), I am posting this unedited version of the Beatles’ Abbey Road song, “You Never Give Me Your Money.” Enjoy.

Jim Emerson in The Chicago Sun-Times has written a column about how disorienting it was to realize that the 17-year-olds at a recent high school graduation did not recognize a reference to the Beatles tune “Drive My Car.” As a result, Emerson wonders whether The Beatles’ days are numbered as a relevant item of our [...]

Shirley Tilloch over at Beatles Til I Die has written a very interesting post originally inspired by one over here at MG/Dullblog. This post of mine began as a lengthy comment to her post…until I got to the point where it was too long and went off in too many directions. So apologies in advance [...]

Monday, April 19, 2010
Roger over at WogBlog has an excellent head’s-up on a massive collection of Beatle personal items/memorabilia from Beatle author Geoffrey Giuliano and one-time Beatle designers The Fool. (A lot of this stuff—which is really mind-blowing—seems to have originated with Derek Taylor, or directly from George and John.) I don’t know what I think about memorabilia. [...]

I’ve always felt that John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s activities for peace were a bit cringeworthy—a misapplication of solution to problem, as if human aggression were the product of people being merely petulant, or distracted or forgetful. While I’m not [...]

Audio version is here. Text:A new study is warning that planting trees in far Northern latitudes could actually worsen global warming. As a result of this report, Al Gore has announced he plans to make a sequel to “Inconvenient Truth” called “Let’s Pave Scandinavia.” An Ohio man wants the Governor of Florida to pardon rock [...]

Tuesday, August 1, 2006
As some of you know, I’m a freak for The Beatles, especially for “Beatlegs,” unreleased or otherwise unofficial recordings. These are studio tapes–composing tapes, alternate mixes, or unreleased songs–concert recordings, or demos. I discovered Beatlegs around 1981, and have gotten a huge amount of enjoyment out of listening to them in the 25 years since. [...]

Tuesday, April 25, 2006
The New York Times’ recent report on student sex magazines, somehow neglected to mention the granddaddy of them all, The Deed, published by students at world-famous Stutts University. Started in 1969 as an underground comic, The Deed has been many things in its long life, including “a radical journal of Wymmyn’s Liberation” and “The Thinking [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
