here's my meager attempt at a tribute
Revolution "...you say you want a revolution, well, you know we all want to change the world..." "The trouble with so much of the record company is that so much of it is run by people who don't have a clue what it's all about."-Paul
I'm Down "...how can you laugh when
you know I'm down??..."
"Normally I'm very quiet. I've always been delicate. I'm not a
tough guy I've had a facade of being tough to protect myself from what
ever was going on, but really I'm very sensitive and weak."-John
"When I was twelve I used to think I must be a genious,
but nobody's noticed. If there is such a thing as a genious I am one, and
if there isn't, I don't care." -John
Yellow Submarine "...we all live in
a yellow submarine..."
"I knew it would get connotations, but it was really a children's
song. I just loved the idea of kids singing it."-Paul
You've got to hide your love away "...here I stand with head in hand, turn my face to the wall..." "When I was a teenager, I used to write poetry, but was always trying to hide my real feelings."-John
"The thing is we're all the same person. We're just four parts of the one."-Paul
The John Lennon Web Page w/ chat room!!
Yesterday "... all my troubles seemed
so far away..."
"I woke up one morning and went to the piano. And, I just, you
know, started playing it. And this tune came...But I couldn't think of
any words for it so I originally called it 'Scrambled Egg'. For a couple
of mornings that was what it was called. Then I thought of 'Yesterday'
and the words started to come and we had a song."-Paul
The rec.music.beatles Home Page
"We're going to send two acorns for peace
to every world leader from John and Yoko. Perhaps if they plant them and
watch them grow they may get the idea into their heads."-John
"It was just a beautiful idea of John's to plant an acorn, and the
only way you can better John is by copying him exactly."-Yoko
The Obvious Moose Beatles Page
The Ballad of John and Yoko "...you
know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be..."
"How can I be lonely when I'm with Yoko day and night? I'm lonely
in the universal sense, but there are no outside desires. We are the best
things we can give each other."-John
P.S. I love you "...treasure these
few words til we're together, keep all my love forever..."
"I didn't really feel like I belonged until after the first two
years, maybe two and a half. You know, before it was them, the Beatles,
and me-the new drummer. It lasted long enough to bother me a bit, but not
any more."-Ringo
Carry That Weight "...I never give
you my pillow, I only send you my invitations..."
"Only Britian hated the Beatles."-George
"I declare that the Beatles are mutants. Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species- a young race of laughing freemen."- Timothy Leary
