You've done it again. You've enticed me into wanting to learn more about someone.
One of my favorite movies to quote is "Help", and though I like the Beatles, I was never a huge fan. My "decade" was the 80s, so I think I missed out on most of what was so revolutionary about the Beatles.
>>Their demeanor is quietly formidable, subtle, and riddled with trap doors or escape clauses. As intensely as they like to bond, an equal force bristles against suffocation. <<
Me and George. You got it right, Frederick. Thank you for recounting your experiences, from a generational cohort.
It's fantastic how you interweave all of these different cultural references into this article. You've made me want to read Joan Didion again, too. What book is that quote from?
While you were taking in All Things Must Pass, I was deep into Lennon’s first solo album. But what do I have on my playlist for the car? A whoelotta George. Especially the Material World album. As a George Harrison fan I can nearly guarantee you will love this video. When I found it it delighted me so much! I hope it delights you. The details are a hoot!
This piece was a delight to find as well. As a dedicated Beatles fan it was a special read. But here in my 60’s I have appreciated the Bee Gee’s a lot more than I did. The Beatles, as a band and as individuals cannot be compared to any other band, however in my nostalgic turn here it’s The Bee Gees that soothe me, and not the disco stuff necessarily, although it’s great fun to remember how my husband (boyfriend at the time) woo’d me on the dance floor.

You should definitely get some gnomes! 😉
"... the tractor beam presence of Yoko Ono."
Don'tworryDon'tworry. Don't. Worry.
Yoko gets no love from Beatle scholars.
Love the tractor beam image.
Showing such restraint by not using "Death Ray"
😂
