Because

Because you expect plugs.

Got none for my website, but I will plug a few things. Excellent article from Just Me. What else . . Jerry was a race car driver? And you might also notice, the reincarnated Dr. Murk is stealing artwork.

Because you want to know what you are listening too . .
A beautiful song from Abbey Road, Because. A ballad written by John Lennon, it has obvious influence from the harmonies the Beach Boys made famous. It is a 3 part harmony vocal overdubbed 3 times making it 9 parts. Sung by Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney, this is the song that proceeds the extended 16 minute melody of short song on the second side of the album.

The song music is supposedly Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven played backward. While not completely true, and reverse playing of that song by Yoko One is the inspiration for the piece. Yoko played it backward for Lennon, and he wrote the lyrics around it, gradually chaning the music as the song evolved. The lyrics are very beautiful and pretty straightforward (a shock for a Lennon piece).

This was also the last song of the Abbey Road session to be commited to tape, arguably the last song recorded by the group. The song has a number of instruments not previously commonly used by the Beatles including it's signature electric harpsicord (played by George Martin), a traditional analog synthesizer, and of course the moog synthesizer. One of the first bands to record with a synthesizer, this song has a lot of elements of 80's new wave. It was for it's time a very daring recording as it was not easily pigeon holed in any style of current music.

Because Ben Byrd asked for it.
This was a background behind Duty.
I tossed it together for a background image kind of related to the story. Christopher should like this.

Because you need to know the mood.
Sox won yesterday, and increased their lead to 10.5. Yanks lost today, now it is 11. Down right now 1 - 0 in the 5th. Mood: Very Confident we will have a 12 game lead by the break.

Because you had the need to know.
Because your facinated by Paris Hilton.
Because you expect a quote or a video.
I am Malach, just because.

Paris wouldn't marry Larry. She already has money. Larry only picks up young hot poor blondes looking for a sugar daddy. I've seen his posting on craigslist.

I love how the New York/ESPN media went out nuts talking about how the Yanks were back in it when they got hot. But, really, the Yanks weren't even close! The odds of them winning 70% for the rest of the season was just ridiculous, yet the New York/ESPN acted like Jesus had started playing center field for them. BULL-JIVE!

Because Larry King prey on the needy, it might work . .

Because ESPN in partly owned by the New York media . .
