^ HaHa! Thanks Black Francis. I' ve never heard of the Pixies, but really like the repetitive build up of that song, with extra vocals coming in. I'll have to see what else they've done...

That interview is so good; I'd forgotten just how perplexed, outraged, people were by Lennon's bed-ins. The bit I liked best was the slanging match:-
Lennon: I´m speaking for you
News guy: No you're not, etc, etc.

Also, the way the song itself is part of the news story that the song is about because it was released simultaneously with the bed-ins.
