TSMP and I spent the evening Lennon was killed sitting on our living room floor watching the Beeb's tribute to Lennon while crying our eyes out (yeah, we WERE emotional)... but all that came to an abrupt and FINAL end when they began playing that smarmy piece o' crap.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-22820253333515743962013-01-22T12:33:49.931-08:002013-01-22T12:33:49.931-08:00Their lyrics certainly improved over time.

I still listen to that album (CD? what does one call it now?) and enjoy it a lot. But that first time, kinda blew me away. They'd certainly gone way past "She Loves You" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". But thinking about it just now, it was the rhythm and the harmonies on those songs which got your attention, not the lyrics.<br /><br />Okay, time to trot out some Beatles.

But I remember saying stupidly to a class in my second year of teaching (in 1964, after a student had asked what I thought about them) that their lyrics weren't very impressive. All I'd heard at that point was the song "She Loves You" ... yeah, yeah, yeah. Little did I know that their lyrics and music would come to define a generation.

What a world that would be. <br /><br />Lennon should have started "Imagine" with a line about not having any lawyers. 2nd verse would be no fuzzy thinking liberals. 3rd verse no half assed rock singers who think they're philosophers. Then I might have liked the song. Dapper Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230099347154360809noreply@blogger.com
