All this time and I never realized that 'tubes had subtitles!
Truth is still truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.
I had not seen that before. It's iconic.

Whoever put that together did a great job, and the subtitles were a first for me also. algore's magic interweb... “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

Interesting homepage. Is that a selfie? “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Is that a selfie? LOL, Lord no Lod that's Lemmy! corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus
I always suspected that the meaning of the song was basically that rock and roll is or was mankind's best and brightest hope, that its musicians -- though often drug-addled devil worshippers -- are demigods to be worshiped by all, and that when one or more them dies the whole world should mourn. Turns out that I wasn't too far off on the rock and roll angle. But back then I missed the allusions to the expired prostiticians and the philandering commie preacher.
Brilliant interpretation of history. I was @Altamont, too.

Looks like Lemmy. Or a pissed off Robert Shaw.

How profound..... I have a very personal question to ask you all and I really hate to risk offending anybody. I'm going to write it backwards so nobody's eyes will alight onto it by accident. ?nettirw reve gnos tsrow eht si euS yggeP kniht em tub ydobynA
I don't say that it's true Do you recall a girl that's been in nearly every song? She's the one, I've been told corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

Now if the real Eleanor Rigby could see the stellar musical success she achieved posthumously, what would she say? Guessing this is the aspect of it she'd be expecting least..... or would that be Aretha singing it in the first person, hm?? www.youtube.com/watch? v=TlHaX55wG0Y The real story is genuinely eerie. wikip: McCartney said he came up with the name "Eleanor" from actress Eleanor Bron, who had starred with the Beatles in the film Help!. "Rigby" came from the name of a store in Bristol, "Rigby & Evens Ltd, Wine & Spirit Shippers", which he noticed while seeing his girlfriend of the time, Jane Asher, act in The Happiest Days of Your Life. He recalled in 1984, "I just liked the name. I was looking for a name that sounded natural. 'Eleanor Rigby' sounded natural." However, it has been pointed out that the graveyard of St Peter's Church in Liverpool, where John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met at the Woolton Village garden fete in the afternoon of 6 July 1957, contains the gravestone of an individual called Eleanor Rigby. Paul McCartney has conceded he may have been subconsciously influenced by the name on the gravestone.[10] The real Eleanor Rigby lived a lonely life similar to that of the woman in the song. Confess I'm a real Eleanor Bron fan though I don't know much of her work at all. In some Beatles documentary, likely The Making of Help, she talks charmingly of working with them.
Buddy Holly....... !hsart fo eceip a tahw
Ah but when mediocre artists die young, they are promoted to the status of greatness!
John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. No. I was too stoned to clench anything.
Altamont is among many period subjects covered trenchantly in this fantastic if gliberal volume
