Can't make out what John is saying on half of that track, but he sounds pretty damn hilarious. On that note, I totally dig that guy's humour. Go watch "A Hard Day's Night" and you'll see what I mean.

If The Beatles hadn't got a record contract, they would've ended up as pioneering stand-up comedians!

I'm sure they would have. But I'm very glad they did get a record contract!

The way I see it they 're great, my father says they're probably the best.....

Best couple McCartney and Lennon, cause we all know they were the heads of the band...

It's like saying Gilmour and Waters if you know what I mean...

I think one of the great things about them and probably their biggest accomplish is the great gamma of music they have....

I mean they have everything in their carrer... simple rock'n roll, complex rock, indian style music, ballads, psychedelic stuff, country, folk, etc,etc...probably anything you want...

How many bands have you heard with such an outstanding gamma of music....

Anyway that's the way I see it.... :D

I disagree. They wrote more, yes. But the work of Harrisson is just as good, and in many cases better than much of what Lennon and McCartney came up with.

Sorry i think I used bad words to describe what I wanted to express, I'm not saying Harrison's contribute to the band was nothing, nor that he was better or worst than Lennon and McCartney, in fact one of my favorite songs is he's , what I tried to say was seeing them as a couple of songwritters..... they're great...

Being in the Beatles round about the Hamburg era would be the coolest single experience ever. Who cared the girls screamed so loud they couldn't hear you, it was AN EXPERIENCE!

And those early singles still kick some ass!

Klaus Voormann actually designed the cover of an album for the norwegian band Turbonegro.

causing an entire stadium full of teenage girlies to pee their panties in ecstasy is an achievement to be admired
compare that to Spinal Tap's perverse pride in having intimidated any women from joining their audience as proof of their manliness

Why not just make it easy for everyone and say "Gotta love the snake biting its own tail"?
It's an interesting mythic symbol, though. It has very many different meanings.

1. Because

2. That

3. Would

4. Be

5. Too

D. Easy

93. And besides

90125. Then, I wouldn't have been able to

867-5309/Jenny. introduce that difficult to spell word to someone else who might not have heard of it before.

-3, 643, 912. Like "onomaetapaea."

(This number only exists in the seventh dimension, hence your inability to see it here). Thus, I look more intellectual...even if it's spelled improperly, you can be sure it's pronounced correctly. :P

If that is the case, I am pleased to inform you that the correct spelling is "Ouroboros", "oroborus", "uroborus" or "uroboros". Yes, all four varieties can be used.
