The Fab Four!

[CFH]

If I had to pick just one it would have to be In My Life, unless the side 2 Medly from Abbey Road counts as one song...

I'm posting this from the shitter, ain't technology grand?

Me too. This is a seriously great lyric:

"But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more"

For a young guy and for Lennon (at this stage not known for his intimacy) that's really deep. Basically saying that for everybody that has been before and everybody that comes after, I will never love anybody like I love you.

THe disconnect between Lennon the lyricist and Lennon the individual is remarkable. He could be a douchebag of epic proportions, but he wrote some of the most sentimental, thoughtful, and introspective songs.

If you're interested in him, I suggest you read the book John Lennon, the Life.

ABOUT THE AWFUL

I was bored on the 9th Octover 1940
when I believe, the nasties led by Madulf Heatlump (who
only had one). Anyway they didnt get me.
I attended to varicous schools in Liddypol.
And still didnt pass much to my Aunties supplies.
As a member of the most publified Beatles my and
(P,G and Rs) records might seem funnier to some of you
than this book,but as far as I'm concieved this
correction of short writty is the most wonderfoul larf
I've ever ready.
God help and breed you all.
