Yesterday and Today

Thirty nine years ago today, folks:
It looks colder in the days before global warming, dunnit?
And, finally, a bit of trivia: which Bob Dylan song takes place on 30th January?
Clothes Line Saga.

George...
has got great trousers.
That comment on the trousers
reminded me of that other great Merseyside band:
What I love
Is the guy with the bowler hat and the pipe who ascends the vertical fire escape to see what the fuss about. Then thrusts his hands in his pockets as if he's just any old rooftop passer-by.
Fab
Fab clip.
Anyone know why it's John rather than George who "takes" the guitar solo?
I guess
Lennon liked the song more than usual and felt it needed some rock 'n' roll guitar that he could play. I like that bit in The End when they take a bit each.
Probably...
one last example of the others putting young George in his place before they went their seperate ways...
or maybe he couldn't be arsed.
just picked
a DVD of Let it Be ripped of a Laser Disk. Brilliant quality and just goes to show why its such a shame that the movie hasn't had a proper release.
I shared some Gym time with Michael Lindsay Hogg about 6 years ago who told me he had done the commentary for a DVD but whatever happended after that beats me.
I wonder who vetoed that
Yoko?
I suppose
it doesn't depict her or Lennon very favourably. No clever editing needed to do it, however.
Speaking of whom
Have you ever heard the Barenaked Ladies "You can be my Yoko Ono". Great tribute !
I suspect
that Harrison probably jumped at the opportunity, given Lennon's ever decreasing enthusiasm in the final days.
A big day in history
I teach history at a secondary school and each year on 30th January I bore the kids with a little talk about how this day is a big one. On this day in...
1649 - Charles I was executed
1933 - Hitler came to power in Germany (75 years ago today)
1948 - Gandhi assassinated (60 years ago today)
1972 - Bloody Sunday
Also: FDRs birthday, Tet offensive in Vietnam (1968)and now, the Beatles on the roof.
Ahhh... the world is such a...
joyous place, isn't it?!
And...
No one's answered my Bob Dylan question yet.
Got It!
It's "The Ballad of the Menai Straits Suspension Bridge", one of the extra tracks on the remastered 5.1 Surround Blu-Ray edition of Freewheelin'.
Any more guesses
before the day's out?
No?
Ah well. Answer's at the top.
Its amazing how...
Muted, drab, shabby and 'Graham Greene' London looks. It's like the War's only just finished (excepting Ringo's coat and George's troo's). And how hats were still regulation day wear for anyone older than The Beatles
