Just another Number 1 hit for the band, they were tossing them out at a rapid pace during the stretch of 1963-64. The band never played it live, with John especially feeling it was beneath them. Thing is, it wasn’t. While the subject matter may be trite (“Oooh I need your love, babe, eight days…
“What Goes On?” appeared on 1965’s Rubber Soul, sung by Ringo, but was initially written in 1963 and was going to possibly be recorded and included on the album With The Beatles or as possibly a B-side during that era. Mostly written by Paul, with heavy contributions by John, it also does include a small…
Taken from the album Hard Day’s Night, written for but not used in the film, the song is largely forgettable in the overall pantheon of Beatles tunes. It closes the album, a bit of a downbeat number, sort of a lamentation, something John did well, especially during this period. While it doesn’t stand out among…
It is time for my annual Beatles Week, a celebration of the band as well as a way to keep blogging as well as part of my ongoing analysis of The Beatles. I missed last year because of dad’s sudden hospital admission and death. Other than that instance, every year I have been able to…
With 2018’s National Blog Post Month behind me I wanted to give a little reflection on it, my feelings about how I performed. While technically I did manage to get in 31 posts the month of November I am not feeling great about the accomplishment. Yes, I know November has only 30 days, I am…
I had what I thought were good blog post ideas, but either I forgot them before I could write them down or they just didn’t hold up after two sentences. Today is another “no school” day for some of the kids because of conferences. That is fine, really, and I have no complaints about that….
I got an email today that reminded me that November is National Blog Post Month. I had completely forgotten about this… event (?) … semi-organized internet thing (if it is even a thing any more). My friend Nancy, who writes a heck of a lot better than I can, who updates her blog with much greater regularity…
This is the type of blog post I hate to type up. I used up what drafts I had during the week without internet. This means I need to come up with a blog post for the day from scratch. The only problem is today is one of those days when I am low on…
And the internet is back. It has been a long week without internet, and I’m glad it is over. Now we can check email regularly, the kids can do their homework, Netflix is back, all the things we take for granted. Knowing we would be without internet we tried to make arrangements, but they just…
The biggest challenge I think for me during this year’s NaBloPoMo will be the week I have no internet service. Sure, I could go to the library or coffee shop, but what am I going to do with the kids, particularly the toddler? Starting yesterday and until next Friday my house is without internet service….
