This is making me depressed. I knew just about everything about the Beatles until age 16 or so when I finally began to listen to other music. |

I don't know why, but I thought it might be fun to try to answer as much as I can WITHOUT using any references at all... just relying on my memory. |

Aww... why depressed? I actually don't listen to them all that much any more, but I do have several of their albums on my iPod, and a song comes up now and then and always puts a little smile on my face. |

What were the two reasons Paul used as an excuse for having a hard time nailing the bassline to 'One after 909'? |
|
Wow... fantastic question. I know I've heard this one before, and I'm sure know the answer to this one somewhere in the back of my head. But I'll have to go a bit on intuition here, since the precise story escapes me. |

Well I just listened to the track on my i-Pod because nothing else was coming to mind. I'm still thinking it had to do with his hand getting tired, but there weren't so many repeated notes. In fact, the part is very simplistic, so I'm thinking it might have been the stretch going from I-V-I (octave). I don't think that should be too hard, but I can't translate it in my head to the left-handed version he would have been performing. Come to think of it, I don't recall if he flipped his guitars with or without the string change. Either way, I'm sure it would be tiring if they did a lot of takes. |

Oh man, you even said it and didn't even know it. I'll give you a hint - it doesn't really make sense as an excuse. |

Thanks, but I'm not sure the bow was deserved since I was so heavily prompted. It is sort of coming back to me slowly, now that the secret has been revealed. |

I recently caught some special on the Beatles, and apparently Brian Epstein was who was practically robbing them of their money. I didn't watch the entire special, so I don't know when exactly the situation was remedied, but apparently they had very little money even in year 1965! Whodda thunk it. |

Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
Look out on a summers day,
with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.
Man, I should have done this thread too. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

Hmm... not sure if this is a serious question, or if there's anything even interesting behind it, so let me know if there is. |

Are we talking about a mistake in the lyrics or in the music? Let me see if anything comes to mind with the lyrics... |

Why does Helter Skelter sound so much different than most of their songs, especially the other mainstream ones. |
|
I'm pretty sure I have your answer. This was in a way a "response song." I may be a little sketchy on some of the details, but here's how I remember it. |
