Sunshine has updated, and those of you who like conspiracy theories, will love episode 27. This is one of my faves.

And you need to see Baby's Got Book.

You are listening too . . .
And Your Bird Can Sing, by the Beatles, from Revolver. Another insteresting song from this album, quite a bit different than anything they had done before, more in tune with later stuff. The song was completely written by Lennon, and by all accounts one of Lennon's least favorite songs he ever did.

Suprisingly the is a favorite cult song of many Bealtes fans, including myself. Very inventive, and 30 years ahead of it's time musically. It has a dual harmony lead guitar intro (performed by McCartney and Harrison) and moved the band closer to rock and roll. There is also a folky version of this song off one of their anthology albums, and through the whole song, Lennon and McCartney giggle hysterically.

Lyrically it is a obvious psychedelic surreal vision of life. The Beatles themselves never really commented on the cryptic lyrics, and several theories are popular, including Lennon singing about his failing marriage to Cynthia Lennon is a sarcastic way, singing about a singing mechanical caged bird she bought for him.

Very interesting song for someone my age, I hear a lot of early REM, Pavement, Sonic Youth, Buffalo Tom, and such in the song. Again, Lennon hated the song, but the song is a very influential cult classic.

I will play two more off Revolver and then we will move on.

The Mood of Red Sox Nation.
This is going to be a good team. The pitching is going to be really good, and the offense will come around. Red Sox fans make this comparison. At this point, the Sox have played 6 road games, in some nasty weather, and are 3 - 3. Their team ERA is 3.53. They have had little to no offense. The Yankees have played 5 at home in nasty weather and 2 - 3. They have had tons of offense and have a team ERA of almost 6, and their staters are 9.53. Our mood: Sedate.

IMUS
Who cares, Imus sucks, pull him off the air cause he sucks.

Wow.
Just in time to cure our seafood shortage. Manatee, yum!

Ahh, Anna Nicole.
You know she could bore us much longer. My bet is the Pope.
