Crap. An inconveniently timed impromptu staff meeting took place around my cube about halfway thru Happy Xmas, so I missed the end of that and the backsell (I assume that was tune #10?). Did the 10-way tie actually happen? I have to catch the replay tonight, no fail.

Can yot tape? Would be a nice holday gift to burn!

"In My Life" squeaked by as the "winner", tho' it sounds like Dave only did that so Big Rick would have one song to play this afternoon.

Lennon's Double Fantasy was the 1st album I ever purchase. At the time, I didn't know who the Beatles were. To me Paul McCartney was part of Wings. It wasn't until Lennon's death that first knew who the Beatles were but I was only 12 when Lennon died.

My God. The a cappella Because from Anthology. This is giving me serious chills.


You're going to love how it sounds on the new Beatles remix album Love.  I heard it this week at the Voice (thank ye gods for iTunes shared directories and generous editors): "mash-up" is too drastic a term for what George Martin et al have done.  More like medleys that uncover unexpected linkages between unrelated (and might-as-well-be-era-spanning) tracks.  A more noble effort than I'd anticipated.

I'm roughly your age but was fortunate to have an uncle who anticipated by the time I was 5 that I'd be a Beatles fan, and bought me the 1967-1970 anthology on cassette.  What that ripple in a stream did for me.  So I knew who John Lennon was when I got the news Tuesday morning (I'd already gone to bed Monday night) - a bittersweet story I've told here in years past.  John's is the first death I specifically remember - not Elvis's, surprisingly.

Funnily, I'm not sure if I knew who Wings were at that point.  I knew "Silly Love Songs" and maybe one or two others, but only as songs, not connected to an artist.

What's the title of this lovely lullaby-like beautiful daughter song?


Actually it's called Beautiful Boy--John wrote it for Sean--as the last line just mentioned by name. It's on Double Fantasy.


Does it make me a bad person that I cannot hear the ending to that song without thinking, "Julian hates you so much right now"?

I played some Lennon for some of my students today.  Some of them appreciated it, some of them didn't see the point.  They've heard the word "Beatles" but only some of them know some of the music.
