I'll watch it when it reaches telly, why not. Wouldn't pay to see it though. Can't see it being a patch on Hard Days Night ("Very clean, isn't he?") I'm one of the few - which is to say, a True Believer. I could just be very undiscriminating, given musical tastes that encompass everything from Thomas Tallis to Duke Ellington to The Upsetters, but I still believe The Beatles were a unique and astonishing phenomenon, that produced a staggering outpouring of innovative and wonderful songs, with some of the best music and lyrics ever to hit the hit parade.
Eleanor Rigby
Wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Find me better lyrics in popular music. Any popular music.
Sneer if you choose, but any band responsible for lyrics like that and the orchestral-crescendo-to-grand-piano chord-crash finale of Day in The Life fully deserves to be remembered and revered.
I still won't be at the Odeon any day soon, mind.
