Acid Music; Beatles Magical Mystery Tour

I have always thought that Magical Mystery Tour could have been recorded in the garage somewhere… Or some of it anyways… It’s not all that great of a recording.  Even though it is a great record over all…

George Martin has been hailed as such a great producer…And he was…But there are many other records from this period that have as good or better recordings.  The song “magical mystery tour” is paticarly noisy and muddy.

I remember back when the early Beatles CD’s first came out… They were all released in mono… To preserve the “original” recordings… They “fake stereo” vinyl records sound better.

Anyways, Magical has some magical music on it… I like the song “flying“… It is the picture of 60’s psychedelia… Love that trippy guitar.

The string arangements on “I am the Walarus” has to be the best in rock and roll. And that saxaphone (I think) playing on “Baby im a Rich Man” is the most bizarre horn part I have ever heard. That is Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones playing that… Miss that guy.

Other Highlighs

  • Hello Goodbuy – Great guitar line and simple lyrical message.
  • Your Mother Should Know – Dance to a song before your mother was born
  • Strawberry Fields Forever – Maybe the best John lennon Song ever.

I am here as you are here as we are all together – John Lennon

Texting and Driving DWT

Driving down the highway… Look up, look down… Gee I don’t wanna mis spell anything.. This message to a myspace buddy is just TOO important.

It’s funny watching people  driving around…They are either talking on the phone or looking down . You KNOW their texting. Why else would they be looking down instead of the road.

So should they outlaw it? I mean how can I stay in touch with all my social networking buddies on twitter and facebook if I can’t text and drive?  I may get a DWT Driving While Texting.

When I get pulled over  I could just tell the officer… “Please give me a break officer. I forgot… Heck, I been drinking.”

Jenks OK Football. A Scandal?

We have one of the geatest high school football teams in the nation. Jenk’s OK Trojans. Simply put… We kick some booty.

Apparently they broke some rules by having a player on the team last year (2008) that didn’t actually live in the district and now we have to forfeit last years wins.

I understand that a parent of another player felt his kid was being shortchanged by allowing this kid to be on the team and letting him play in more games.  So he wrote some anonymous emails to get the team in trouble… Oh the humanity..

Gee I hope that word doesn’t get out as to who actually turned in this atrocity… Nobody likes a tattle tale. 

So whatta ya think? Did they actually do wrong?

Traffic – The War on Drugs!

Watched the movie “Traffic” the other day… What a fun ride… People ratting and honor students getting high talking about the futility of society… One of the Kid’s dad was the main player on the war on drugs. He got to talk about it with the president. Figure out the plan to stop people from getting high.
 
There were cop’s and robbers and kingpins all making plans too. They all had an agenda. It just goes round and round.  It just keeps raging…For decades.
It’s Hollywood of course… But if that stuff is even close to being true then it should be enough to make people think. But you you can’t learn any lessons from Hollywood. Those Hollywood types are all wacky liberal homosexuals anyways..  They don’t have a clue… (sarcasm)
 
But great movie anyways. Check it out at the $5.00 bargain bin at your local Wal Mart… It’s worth every cent… And you can watch it over and over!

A Beer with Obama

Well, I guess that guy’s pretty cool huh? Having a cold one talking about things… You know he smokes cig’s too…Beer makes you wanna smoke so I’m sure if he was having a bud light he probably sneaked a smoke on the side.

It’s funny you can have a bit of alcohol and attempt to take on the worlds problems…As the whiskey rises to your head the fierce determination to succeed comes with it…Drunk and 10 feet tall.

But the bottle can let ya down. To much of anything is to much of everything. But, having a beer and some big plans can’t be all bad.. Go Obama… This bud’s for you…
