Some plugs my pretties.
Sunshine 17 is up for your enjoyment, you better enjoy it. Also, there is a new 8 1/2 by Eleven, in which Cinn and Jessica have a mammal beauty contest.

The Beatles.
Again, I'd like to thank everyone who sent me good wished about my Beatles essays I am exploring this this blog, especially those old enough to remember the Beatles (Malach was born in 1972, two years after they broke up). I am going to accumulate them all and make a interactive essay when I am done.

Many of you have asked for a bit more historical information, while I do not want to get into that too deepyl (there are plenty of web resources on that), I do want to set a bit more of HELP! era of the Beatles. That album is the accumulation of early Beatlemania, and a marked switch in tone, musicality, and lyric content from much of the previous albums. In addition, it marks a seperation that begins to develop between McCartney and Lennon, though not as extreme as it will be a few years later. As stated, Yesterday was the first Beatles song that had no involvement of the other Beatles, and it was one of their biggest hits of all time. It gave McCartney some more leadership power in the band, and in the next few years this would develop into a huge power struggle. Lennon had initially formed the band as the Quarrymen in '57, McCartney joined about a year later, eventually molding into the Beatles. There are several former members, Stuart Sutcliffe who died in '62 of a brain hemmorhage and of course Pete Best who was replaced by Ringo in '62 just as they signed their first record contract, who left the band prior to their hitting it big.

Beatles hit it big worldwide in '63, and were constantly touring leading us up to '65 and HELP! in which they and George Martin really began to flex their creative muscles. Also in the same month of releasing the album, the sold out Shea Stadium, being the first outdoor stadium concert in the world, selling 56,000 seats. This of course leads into the masterpiece Rubber Soul, but let not get ahead of ourselves. This, the stress, and inability to recreate some of the music live, and events that eventually led to them all together abandoning touring. Again, that is later in the time line, along with other events. I bet you can't wait until the Paul is Dead conspiracy, got some good sites on that.

Yesterday, is a heart renching song, even listening to it hundreds of times. McCartney has never really talked much about the songs subject, and most feel it has to do with his mother who died from cancer when he was young, or his rocky relationship with Jane Asher. Lennon's mother too had died while he was young (see Julia, later off the The White Album), which is something that drew Lennon and McCartney together at an early age.

Man, someone needs a make over.
So this is not surprising, even if he didn't do it, he would say he did.

Speaking of terrorism.
So Chiquita has plead guilty to sleeping with terrorsist? Man, I got some of those bananas in the kitchen. Better check them for lite bright signs of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Missing subs.
So evidently the Navy lost communication with the USS San Juan today . . . anyone check for bananas?

Ahh, Deion Branch.
The first sign that you miss us. Talk to Damien Woody, Joe Andruzzi, and the like, they all sing the same song.

OK.
I have worked with severely disabled, self injurious, and homicidal clients. I have NEVER once even conceived doing this would be helpful. Yes, I have gotten into physical altercations with clients also, but I am trained to restrain with the least amount of physical pain and discomfort, and that does work.

Malach's Quote of the Day.
I am alive and well and unconcerned about the rumors of my death. But if I were dead, I would be the last to know. - Paul_McCartney

I am Malach, and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make . . . . that's awesome.
