BEATLES ALERT!
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on till tomorrow
Let it be....
The Beatles
This is a small break from the train-wreck of current events and politics to take note of a major event in our culture. I was in kindergarten on the night The Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in February of 1964. I can remember going to bed that evening with those incredible harmonies still ringing in my five-year-old ears. My beloved grandmother, Loretta Doran Clements, passed away unexpectedly two nights later. Despite our family's tragedy at that moment, I've been sold on The Fabulous Beatles ever since.
Yesterday, Apple Records released onto vinyl and CD, the remastered recordings of their final LP, Let It Be. This record has been, since the day it first appeared, regarded as one of their lesser efforts. I have never been able to figure out why this would be so. While it may not be their best album, it has some of the finest recordings ever produced by any rock 'n' roll band.
The new remix sounds better than it ever has. One thing that stands out is John Lennon's composition, Across The Universe. It sounds as if he's singing it from Heaven, a determined and silly ghost that refuses to fade into that mysterious and unknowable void. The box set contains the alternate Get Back LP that was set to be released in the Spring of 1968, which was later vetoed by all four members of the band and wound up languishing in the Apple vaults for over a half century. It also contains a two-LP set of outtakes from the many-hours of tracks that comprised the January 1969 sessions.
Whenever a "new" Beatles product is released to the public, I get as giddy as the day in 1967 when I furiously peddled my bicycle down to the local pharmacy to pick up a copy of the new Magical Mystery Tour album. I was nine-years-old at the time. At sixty-three, I still retain some grasp of my fading childhood memories. As eternity beckons, this is a very comforting thing indeed. Shine on till tomorrow....
The Beatles have sold more records than any other band of the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This is a group that made their last recording fifty-one years ago - two of whose members are long dead. Think about that.
This recording is available on CD and vinyl. In case it isn't in stock at your friendly, independently-owned, neighborhood record store (Like they really exist anymore!) It can be purchased on Amazon.com. If you're a fan of The Beatles, you cannot afford to let this one pass you by. Shine on till tomorrow....but I repeat myself.

SUGGESTED LISTENING:
Let It Be
by The Beatles
When asked about this recording in one of the final interviews of his long life, Louis Armstrong smiled and said simply, "That's church music!"
Amen, Brother Satch!

Since Let it Be "Naked" I find myself listening to that album at work more than any other Beatle album. "For You Blue" which is included, and "Old Brown Shoe" which was left off are my two favorite Harrison songs. I have always loved "Two of us" because of John and Paul's harmonies.
I find Let it be to be a very underrated album.
"Yesterday" and "Hey Jude" are among the top three of my favorites among so many wonderful songs they gifted the world. "Imagine" is number 1.
Timeless.
Imagine is technically not a Beatles song, but yeah...
'Let's Go Brandon' Is the #1 Hip Hop Song in the U.S. Alternative rapper Loza Alexander’s surprise hit “Let’s Go Brandon” has topped the iTunes hip hop chart at #1.
The expression “Let’s Go Brandon” was inadvertently created by NBC reporter Kelli Stavast as she was trying to interview NASCAR driver Brandon Brown. Brown had just won his race at the Talladega Superspeedway, and the crowd behind him was raucously performing the popular “F**k Joe Biden” chant. “You can hear the chants from the crowd,” said Stavast in an awkward attempt to wave away the elephant in the room, “Let’s Go Brandon!” The moment went viral, and “Let’s Go Brandon” is now the SFW version of the original chant.

Vern steers the subject from the music of "limitless undying love" to a fascist hate chant.
The radical Right will degrade and desecrate anything and everything to wallow in and spread their hate.
Including storming our Capitol and following a racist criminal who praises terrorists.
Let them have shit-pants Ted, the coward, and chickenhawk Nugent, and Angry White Kid Rock. Their music sucks, and reeks like their bigoted small minds. They deserve each other.
This makes it all clear where love and hate diverge, where decency and derangement part.
The music of the Beatles will last the ages, while their crap rots with their their fascism, bigotry, hate and racism.
Sybil,
You won't tell us why conservatives are afraid of people voting.
You won't tell us why new magic ID's are necessary.
You wont't tell us who will PAY for all these new ID's and what the grounds for refusal would be.
You won't admit that trump LIED about the election being stolen
You won't admit that the Covid "hot spots" are in states where the governors are thwarting efforts to contain it and that over 95% of all hospitalizations (and deaths) are the un-vaccinated.
You won't tell us if you are vaccinated
But you seem to have no problem soiling a discussion of the great music and trying to continue your infantile nonsense.
Apparently we can add "growing up" to the list of things you won't do.
John Lennon said it best...you should listen.

I LOVE the sound of liberals whining in the afternoon.
Infact, that's the "right's" reason to be. We know that's all you've got left. Keep chasing that dragon.
US is no longer a global embarrassment:
A new Gallup report shows that as of early August 2021, across 46 countries and territories, median approval of U.S. leadership stood at 49%. This rating is up from the 30% median approval at the end of Donald Trump's presidency.
I LOVE the sound of liberals lying in the evening.
Sung to the tune of"No Where Man"
I do not like
your mental haze,
I do not like
your leftist ways.
I do not like
your son on blow,
I do not like
you sleepy Joe.
It's "Nowhere Man" Have you even heard it? Also, this is a Beatles thread. Go WHINE someplace else.
I love the sound of radical Right ignorance in the morning.
Always a pleasure to expose and shred their ignorance, stupidity, hate and lies.
The world has a better opinion of the US now that Vern's Big Daddy is gone.
Did you see Trump's ignorant claim that Jefferson was the "principal writer of the Constitution"?
They worship and believe him anyway.
Good God, they revel in their damn ignorance. They are indeed a cult of evil and lies.
More liberal whining to follow to follow...

It amazes me how obsessed Sybil is with President Biden. It's sad how DESPERATE he is to make Biden look as unpopular as Trump.
Want to know what is "DESPERATE"? Continued Liberal support of this failed oatmeal for brains President!!
Example: "make Biden look as unpopular as Trump", what is sadly being over looked is BIDEN needs NO HELP in being unpopular and the polls are proving it...a complete cluster f#ck.
Creepy Uncle Joe's 1.9 GPA,
flunked out ROTC,
proven plagiarist
now 37% approval.
And the problem with Biden's numbers is Trump? No, Biden's numbers are strictly the result of HIS actions. Sucks doesn't.
LMAO
Obviously sybil is obsessed. It's a clear case of "Biden Derangement Syndrome".
ROTC? LOL
Why not check his Elementary school records? Did he bring an apple to the teacher?
What is obvious to anyone with a brain is Mofart can not defend his President so he attacks and smears anyone who posts the truth about Biden's dismal performance.
Like this from Grinnell National Poll dated October 13-17, 2021:
Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling:
Approve Disapprove Not sure
A. His job as president 37 50 12
B. The COVID-19 pandemic 46 44 10
C. The economy 36 53 11 36 53 11
D. Immigration 27 58 16 27 58 16
Liberal (Mofart) response will be to:
A. attack the poll
B. attack the poster
C. deflect to Trump
D. claim it's racist
E. claim poll is fascist
In closing, can Mofart explain what is funny about our Commander in Chief flunking out of ROTC? Or is that a "bad question"?
Sybil response to ANY topic.
Post some irrelevant nonsense, usually telling only half the story
Attack anyone who calls him out or proves him wrong
Deflect to President Biden no matter what the actual topic is
claim it's factual because of a "source", usually some far right propaganda site
Claim anyone disagreeing is "Communist"
I mostly approve of President Biden. Like most who disapprove, I wish he was doing MORE and doing is FASTER.
No one cares about ROTC, and does Sybil care that his hero Trump was called the "dumbest student he ever saw" by the dean of Wharton?
When is Sybil going to stop obsessing on the "bad question" while asking them over and over?
Why did Trump sue to keep his academic records secret?
Is Sybil vaccinated?
Biden — I commuted every single day for 36 years as Vice President…
Uhh...Who wants to tell him?
What is obvious to anyone with a brain is Mofart can not defend his President so he attacks and smears anyone who posts the truth about Biden's dismal performance.
"I wish he was doing MORE and doing is FASTER".
Like what? Or is that a bad question?
Mofart
The federal vaccine mandate will soon apply to Justice Department employees, contractors and visitors to its buildings, but one group it won’t apply to is illegal immigrants showing up for their deportation case hearings.
And Mofart's concern is
"Is Sybil vaccinated?"
Typical.
A Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that 62 per cent of registered voters assigned a lot or some blame to the Biden administration when asked who was responsible for the 13-year high in the rising inflation.
When is Mofart going to STOP obsessing over Sybil's vaccination status?
When is Mofart going to START obsessing over the fact that thousands of un-vaccinated illegals are DAILY entering our country?
If Biden is such an incompetent doofus, what does that say about the guy he DEFEATED?
Several states were not allowed to count mail-in ballots until the Election Day ballots were complete. They were not mysteriously “found” in the middle of the night.
Brainwashed Trumpists can't comprehend this fact.
This is why fascists like Vern can't say, "Biden won fairly".
They think they're clever, getting around it by saying, "Biden is president".
Nope. Not the same.
CNBC Poll: Biden’s Approval Rating Plummeting, Majority Disapprove Of His Handling Of The Economy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASz-4xG6qrY&t=2s
How embarrassing it must be to be brainwashed into hatred for 4 years, unfriend people, vote for Biden and then realize how completely wrong you were in just 8 months.
And in an act of pure desperation Dave moves the goal posts again, how liberal of him.
Voter Fraud Found! Was it Vern all along?
Dan Patrick has paid his first voter fraud bounty
AUSTIN — Nearly a year after offering up a hefty bounty for evidence of voter fraud in the wake of Donald Trump’s loss, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has handed out his first reward.
But instead of going to an informant who smoked out fraud by Democrats, Patrick’s five-figure payout went to a progressive poll worker in Pennsylvania whose tip led to a single conviction of illegal voting by a registered Republican.
The unexpected outcome reveals the political dangers of cash bounties. With few strings attached, and more cases of alleged GOP voting fraud still in Pennsylvania courts, Patrick may be asked to shell out even more cash to his opponents.
This case also undercuts unsubstantiated GOP concerns that widespread voter fraud helped hand the White House to Joe Biden, political experts said. In Pennsylvania, a state that was central in Trump’s attempts to overthrow the election, around five cases of voter fraud from last year’s election have been prosecuted, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer — four involved Republicans.
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2021/10/21/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-just-paid-his-first-voter-fraud-bounty-it-went-to-an-unlikely-recipient/
What is obvious to anyone with a brain is Dave can not defend his President so he attacks and smears anyone who posts the truth about Biden's dismal performance.
And then there is the moving of the goal posts and his deflection, but that's a post for another time.
Meanwhile...
While At MLK Memorial, Biden Falsely Claims He Was ‘Involved’ In The Civil Rights Movement…
Shameless.
"Dave can not defend his President"
Vern missed this:
If Biden is such an incompetent doofus, what does that say about the guy he DEFEATED?
Because he's an idiot and liar. He can't admit Biden is OUR president. He can't admit Biden defeated Trump in a fair election.
No wonder he wants to attack me. Bless his heart.
All I know is that my wife and I will be celebrating her birthday by watching the "get back" film on Disney + in November.
Meanwhile, Sybil continues to obsess on PRESIDENT BIDEN, desperate to make him look smaller even though he beat trump in a LANDSLIDE, and continues to repair the damage done by traitorous grifter that LOST in 2020.
"Dave and Mofart can not defend their President" Still haven't, they just deflected with a question and a hate Trump screech. They can't defend Biden, or they would.
And for the 5th consecutive week the #1 hit song is
"LETS GO BRANDON"!
I defend President Biden 100%. He was not my first choice, but I'm happy with him being in office. he just QUIETLY does the job. No "rallies" no boasting and bragging, no infantile name calling. The ADULTS are in charge again, and Sybil is WHINING.
There, now Sybil, tell us if you are vaccinated. I'm betting you won't admit it.
I just noticed that I have more songs from "Let It Be" on my MP3 player than any other Beatle album. Revolver is a close second.
I can't wait for the new version of the movie. The old one was nearly impossible to watch.
At this point, Hunter’s corruption is so egregious and well-documented that even left-leaning news outlets refuse to defend it. According to Politico, “Hunter Biden complicates [the] White House anti-corruption push.” Even across the pond, The Guardian claims “Hunter Biden’s art project [is] painting the president into an ethical corner.”
This isn’t a Republican talking point. Walter Shaub, who served as ethics chief in the Obama administration, put it best: “These are legitimate questions. It’s disappointing to hear [White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki] send a message that the [White House] thinks the public has no right to ask about ethics.” Touching on Hunter’s art dealings in particular, Shaub blasted the blatant hypocrisy: “If this were Trump, Xi, or Putin, you’d have no doubt whatsoever that this creates a vehicle for funneling cash to the first family in exchange for access or favors.”
Ted Harvey
Mofart is happy with highest inflation in years, energy prices highest in years, supply chain melt down, border crisis with no solution being offered, etc.
He is ok with Biden's bragging lie that While At MLK Memorial, Biden Falsely Claims He Was ‘Involved’ In The Civil Rights Movement…ETC. He's happy there are no more mean tweets LOL, he's happy with the senile old fool in the oval Office with a VP who couldn't get more than 1% of voters in the Democrat primary backing him up...
But then Mofart never did have high expectations.
At his disastrous appearance on CNN on Thursday night Joe Biden told Anderson Cooper he “hasn’t had time” to go visit the open US border with Mexico.
Joe took 70 rest days in Delaware this year so far.
Even though his actions ended American's energy independence...Biden admits ‘I don’t have a near-term answer’ for high gas prices. Been really really busy.
Let's go Brandon!!
What exactly does the POTUS have to do with gas prices?
Hunter Biden is not the President and unlike Trump, President Biden has not given his family members high security government positions.
The "supply chain" has nothing to do with Biden either.
So tell us Sybil, when should the president do about these things?
And given your support of Trump, I wouldn't be accusing others of "bragging lies".
And as yet you haven't admitted that you are vaccinated.
Q: Why can't Vern ever respond the subject of the post?
A: He's a troll, here only to deflect, distract and spew his hate.
Biden admits he has no idea how to stop the increase in energy prices...this after his shutting down Keystone and fracking, and then begging OPEC and Russia to increase their output of oil to increase supply and thereby reducing oil prices...only an idiot(s) would NOT know what POTUS has to do with gas prices!!!
What DOES Biden have to do with anything? How are these for starters, from Newsweek October 21, 2021.
Since President Joe Biden took office, he and his staff have engaged in a peculiar strategy. Rather than acknowledge the problems his policies have caused and try to spin them positively, the administration pretends they don't exist. It's the kind of strategy that would have worked before the internet and YouTube—like when Biden was first elected to public office.
As we see video after video of tens of thousands of migrants streaming across our open southern border, what was this administration's response? The American people were told it wasn't happening. Crisis? What crisis? Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said there was no crisis.
The Afghanistan withdrawal was an unmitigated failure. It cost American troops and innocent Afghan civilians their lives. In an ABC News interview, Biden promised that troops wouldn't leave the country until the government evacuated all Americans. There are still Americans stranded in Afghanistan. And despite the hours and hours of video showing the crisis and chaos, Biden hailed the effort as a "success."
Economists were shocked by the weak September jobs report. Not only did it fail to come anywhere close to predictions of 500,000 new jobs: we saw vast numbers of job seekers stop looking even though there are a record 11 million open jobs. And yet, Biden celebrated the economy, pretending it is strong. He called the report "great progress."
And all that Biden's supporters (see Mofart's posts for examples) can do is blame others, deny there is a problem and lie in their support of him. Talk about a CULT!! What they CAN'T do is point to ONE thing this administration has done to address the problems their disastrous radical far left socialistic policy's have caused.
But thank God, we have no mean tweets. LOL
P.S. Truth is now hate per the radical leftist Dave.
Who the hell do you think YOU are Mofart to demand I tell you anything about my medical records?
That info is personal and private between my DR and I, after all it's my body so keep your stinking crazy leftist hands off of it.
LOL. So Sybil is afraid to admit that he's been vaccinated.
He can't tell us how the President has anything to do with gas prices, but we do know he'd WHINE up a storm of President Biden tried to tell a private company how much they can charge...
Sybil can't tell us what the President should be doing to "fix" the INTERNATIONAL supply chain...maybe if the greedy CEO's hadn't shipped all the jobs overseas to avoid paying living wages...
And if Biden is so horrible, WHY would all these "animals" want to come live here?
But yeah, Sybil is so embarrassed by trump he's got to turn even a Beatles thread into a WHINE fest...
Grow up Sybil. And take your infantile name calling with you. Clearly I struck a nerve. LOL
Oh boy. It's like "conservative" adlibs with every comment.
Biden admits he has no idea how to stop the increase in energy prices...this after his shutting down Keystone and fracking, and then begging OPEC and Russia to increase their output of oil to increase supply and thereby reducing oil prices...only an idiot(s) would NOT know what POTUS has to do with gas prices!!!

An Mofart's response is "crickets".
Radical Right Trumpist Hate: Exhibit 383,294
"P.S. Truth is now hate per the radical leftist Dave."
Yesterday, Biden stated he will not have a near-term plan to supply oil and gas nor lower the cost for the US until 2022. Since Biden has become Prez, he has made us energy dependent and asking OPEC and Russia to help out the US. Then Biden asked US oil and gas companies to lower costs.......................What great ideas! LOL
Reuters wrote this article a week ago.
Only a liberal idiot would STILL be proud of voting for Biden. Ain't that right Morfart and Dave.
Truth is now hate per the radical leftist Dave."
Clearly Sybil is upset that no one takes him seriously. His tantrums rival those of his orange hero when he doesn't get his way.
All he has left is infantile name calling.
Meanwhile, President Biden quietly works to repair the damage done over the last 4 years.
Sybil doesn;t realize that we get the VAST Majority of our oil from CANADA.
He WHINES about gas prices and then WHINES when Biden does something, just as I said he would.
All trump's supporters (See ALL of Sybil's posts" BLAME someone else for Trump's ineptitude and corruption. Then he WHINES when we post the FACTS.
Sybil,
You won't tell us why conservatives are afraid of people voting.
You won't tell us why new magic ID's are necessary.
You wont't tell us who will PAY for all these new ID's and what the grounds for refusal would be.
You won't admit that trump LIED about the election being stolen
You won't admit that the Covid "hot spots" are in states where the governors are thwarting efforts to contain it and that over 95% of all hospitalizations (and deaths) are the un-vaccinated.
You won't tell us if you are vaccinated
Anon: Just "Let It Be".
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
I can't wait to see the rooftop concert redone.
In the meanwhile:
