i remember living through this. it made great fun studying the album covers looking for all the clues, and, there really was sort of uneasiness about it all, the fabbers being such societal cutting edge icons and all. it didn't take long for it all to subside. not too long after '69 the beatles were no more. the rest as they say is history.

uncle paulie puts on a show that shouldn't be missed but he's lost credibility with this ex-devotee. the arrogance associated with the fairly recent 'i want my name first' song writing thing with yoko really did kill him for me. parts of my youth just keep eroding away. sometimes i'm not sad at all about it.

i was partial to george anyway. that loss was really tough for me to take.
