@andyc I can and do listen to the #Beatles almost daily. Knowing that McCartney has always been a vain, selfish, arrogant arse, and that Lennon most likely spent the last few years of his life not as a devoted father and househusband as he claimed, but as a helpless rail-thin junkie does not detract from the enjoyment of the music one whit. #Morrissey is in another league. Tainted is precisely the word. There are character flaws, and there is character. It's absurd that it should feel like betrayal (he doesn't owe us anything, so to speak), but to this former lonely teenager it does.

Lovely little tribute to Brian Epstein on the Great Lives #podcast. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0792ddv #Beatles

The #Beatles' song Get Back started as an improvised jam taking the piss out of Enoch Powell. McCartney, being McCartney, couldn't keep it pointed and it turned into a nonsense song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0INwWMaTNk https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/23113

Whilst eating dinner beneath the dusty chandeliers post imperial YMCA I realized the quiet piano music was a rendition of, Yesterday by the #Beatles. Over breakfast it was a very slow tinkly rendition of 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. They really are everywhere.

December is nigh. Drawn by the light, the first Christmas beetles are insinuating themselves between the cracks in the flyscreen to try to burrow into our carpet. Bloody Christmas #Beatles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_SfRbJ-pFM

Paul McCartney is the best bass player on the planet. He doesn't have to be such an arrogant c**t about it, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK5G8fPmWeA #Beatles

"I've always had this vision of bein' sixty and writing children's books. I don't know why. It'd be a strange thing for a person who doesn't really have much to do with children. I've always had that feeling of giving what Wind in the Willows and Alice in Wonderland and Treasure Island gave to me at age seven and eight. The books that really opened my whole being." #q John Lennon http://www.beatlesinterviews.org/db1975.0605.beatles.html #beatles

Good heavens. Sir Paul McCartney had a "Liverpool mum and dad"! The qualifier clearly implies he may have also acquired, for example, a "London mum and dad" to be handy for the West End, and a "Cayman Islands mum and dad" where he booked the majority of his parental services gains for tax purposes. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/11336 #Beatles

#Listening to the White Album. Had an art teacher in high school, about whom we would these days say "Woah, that's some serious Aspergers!", who encouraged us to bring in cassettes to listen to while being creative. Wary, doubtless through many years of hard experience, of practical jokes, he asked me "Is that _really_ the White Album?" Class verdict: "Freaky #Beatles, Davo".

I'm working on an album of grammatically-corrected #Beatles covers. Includes classics like "I Can't Buy Love", "I Feel Strongly Inclined to Hold Your Hand", "Might You Spare Me a Moment of Your Time Jude", and mercifully not many more.

If all you had to go on was the Decca audition tapes, you would have assumed George was the #Beatles front man. He had the confidence and charisma that L&M singularly lacked on that occasion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El6Rnvj_f3w #Beatles

Superb bass playing from McCartney who, insufferable prat that he was and is, nonetheless supported George's songwriting more than John ever did. #beatles

Otis Redding doing Day Tripper. For real. Not, as I would have expected, a Lenny Henry bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nUGmo71SfE #Beatles !Listening

Oh wow. Little Richard with the #Beatles. They supported him in Hamburg and the UK in 1962. In this photo Ringo still has his Rory Storm and the Hurricanes quiff combed down into an embryonic mop-top. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/attachment/7913

Listening to dreadful store musak at #work, it has become apparent that you can't sound like the #Beatles by only listening to the Beatles. You have to listen to what the Beatles listened to. Otherwise you're just doing parody. Looking at you, Jeff Lynne.

Ha! I always thought "pataphysical" science was McCartney's original malapropism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_Silver_Hammer#Background #Beatles

Embittered former member of Tony #Blair's entourage labels #Corbyn a communist. Apparently once a member of a naff #Beatles tribute band, on first-name terms with several of the Spice Girls. http://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/2402
