Beatle Mania!

Does anyone honestly buy Beatles albums anymore? If I liked the band, I believe that I'd just download their music because the remaining members are rich. They've gotten enough of America's money, and it's time for some action in the form of digital theft!

Unite and download Rubber Soul (or be like me and not like the Beatles.)


Good talk.

Changes

When I was growing up my dad always bragged on and on about the Beatles and how they created music, and that all the bands I listen to should thank them for starting up this thing called "music." So I don't think that I was so dumb to assume every British sounding performer on the radio was in fact the Beatles.

All this came to a grinding halt when in 6th or 7th grade when I told my mom that my favorite Beatles song was "Changes." She laughed and said that it was a David Bowie song. I was confused. Nonetheless the Beatles died a little bit that day, and this "David Bowie" rose to prominence.

It went on like that for many years until I finally got a Best of CD for Bowie and realized that Lennon and McCartney were too busy smoking up with Dylan to write "Modern Love." For shame on you, Beatles. Were you too busy wasting recording time for "Yellow submarine" to ignore the awesomeness of Under Pressure? If anything, bands I like should be thanking Bowie (and most do). Go get a haircut, you hippies!

Sorry dad.
