Believe you me, I know all the words. In several languages, actually. But I'm like you, I've got no use for it in this medium. It's just a waste of all our time. And like most bathroom walls, or Fark, there's no humor in it, so it's a complete waste. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading and commenting everybody.SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1158460470797511922006-09-16T22:34:00.000-04:002006-09-16T22:34:00.000-04:00As a wee lad meself in the sixties, The Beatles we...As a wee lad meself in the sixties, The Beatles were'nt just a band -- there were The Sun; warming, omnipresent, delightful.

I'm not generally much interested in what passes for notoriety, but it was like seeing a ghost, not a celebrity. There was an unreality to the whole Beatle affair. Ringo above all remained a very pleasant person in his public persona. A yob from Liverpool that made it. <BR/><BR/>I'm avoiding that other thing you mentioned like the plague. I'm still able to be shocked at what people are willing to say to one another on the internet. I love defending Ann Althouse, but her tough mindedness compels her to leave comments people make about her in her comment strings that I don't feel comfortable having my name archived with, despite being obviously in opposition to them. If they were made in my actual presence, someone would be picking up their teeth with a broken arm. <BR/><BR/>Ruth Anne- Thomas is a big fave here with the wee bairn, but he has no idea Ringo is involved. He's never seen it on the tube, he just has the train and some books. <BR/><BR/>And yet he watches Beatles videos by the hour and laughs when Ringo tosses his head. He tries to play the drum set in the basement even though his feet are three years from touching the floor. <BR/><BR/>Who doesn't like Ringo?SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1158428301231139352006-09-16T13:38:00.000-04:002006-09-16T13:38:00.000-04:00That first video reminded me of Luke Skywalker on ...That first video reminded me of Luke Skywalker on the Hoth planet.<BR/><BR/>It also mentioned "Thomas the Tank Engine" twice, which is good in our house.Ruth Anne Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936054116421006847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1158397364415245332006-09-16T05:02:00.000-04:002006-09-16T05:02:00.000-04:00It's hard to exaggerate the way in which the Engli...It's hard to exaggerate the way in which the English were bound-up with the Beatles and their doings through the sixties. The Beatles, on TV and record, are some of my earliest memories - I was young enough to believe they were singing to me, specifically, with 'I wanna hold your hand'. <BR/><BR/>Then later everyone would comment on each change of direction, each new single. And the disasterous adventures of Lennon and Yoko. <BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Anyway - off topic - I was delighted to see your remarking on Althouse about the Clinton posing female blogger: the original posting, and the mass of comments, were laugh-out-loud funny. <BR/><BR/>I do feel slightly sorry for the girl, but not as sorry as for the Star Wars Kid on the viral video - since she knew she was having a publicity shot. Another similar photo on one of the links also shows that she was holding her chest-out stance for a while - it wasn't simply an unfortunate 1/250th of a second. <BR/><BR/>In its light way, the interchange seemed to encapsulate quite a few themes of our times. <BR/><BR/>And people _still_ deny significant biological differences in male-female psychology...Editor Theoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523719768353591396noreply@blogger.com
