Speaking of George, for his upcoming 75th birthday, his family is re-releasing the Concert for George. It's really excellent, particularly the Billy Preston-led version of My Sweet Lord.

It still bums me out that George is gone - there's a great HBO documentary by Martin Scorsese that shines a lot of light on George's post Beatles years. Just a really cool, semi-normal guy and father - who happens to be a Beatle.

John: intellect and innovation
Paul: pop sensibility
This is the popular sentiment, but it's backwards. John was the key mover behind the band's early, pop tart phase. It was Paul who asserted more creative direction over the band when they stopped touring and focused entirely on their studio work. Look up the 'mixtape' McCartney made in '65 or '66 - it was basically a road map for the next four years of the band, and that comprises by some margin their most dynamically creative and innovative works.

It was actually Paul's assertion of control that ultimately prompted George to quit the band on camera during the filming/recording of 'Let It Be'.

John Steigerwald shared this article.
If Jay-Z wants to see someone truly hurtful to blacks—by contrast with Trump, under whose administration black unemployment has plunged to 6.8 percent in December, the lowest rate on record—he might usefully take a hard look at himself and the tribe of rap “artists” he leads. What is keeping down American blacks today is not racism, oppression, or lack of opportunity. That’s over. Black Americans are now free. What holds them back is the ideology of “authentic blackness”—a black identity rooted in the urban underclass culture of hatred of authority (especially of the police, the teacher, and the boss), indifference to learning, misogyny, sex stripped of love or commitment, hustling, resentment, drug trafficking and using, tolerance of lawbreaking, and rage, rage, rage, the hallmark of keeping it real. That’s the message rap hammers home constantly with its mind-numbing rhythm.
Unfortunately, there are iterations of this viewpoint in too many places.

I've mentioned this elsewhere here, but I really got into Nigerian psych rock. Really, really cool stuff.

Now I need to go checkout this shithole playlist. :lol:

Can't say I'm a Beatles expert, but any viewpoint that casts dispersions on John Lennon is A-OK to me.

Zappa's Roxy performances box set came out today and it's 8 hours of music heaven going right now for me. My wife may divorce me though...

Clapton has an a great live album, one more car one more rider and the DVD is one of my absolute favorite live performance shows. Preston is a dancing fool and goes absolutely nuts on it. Highly recommended
