Today I saw a young woman REPEATEDLY SLAPPING her crying 1 year old child. My heart stopped beating.
And later I went to the world premiere of LENNONYC and saw Uncle Eddy from Grounded For Life (for the second time in New York! the first time being at a Fred Armisen gig in 2008) and then I cried my eyes out at the screening where Yoko Ono also was.
I hate the name of this blog.

I don't believe in Beatles
"I was the walrus,
but now I'm John."
What a song. I find it to be really strong and emotional.
To me, it's like The Beatles just broke up. I haven't really listened to any of their solo work until recently and this song is on Lennon's first solo album. He claims to not believe in all these idols (The Beatles being one of them), just believing in himself. He's on his own now, "the dream is over."
"And so, dear friends,
you'll just have to carry on.
The dream is over."
but now I'm John."

The Beatles - a short homage
Tell me whyyyyy you cried,
and why you liiiiiiied to me.
I saw A Hard Day's Night last night and I've fallen in love with The Beatles on another level once again. John Lennon was murdered 28 years and 13 days ago. I want an Imagine tattoo. And I want to see the rest of their movies and read all their books (I don't know if any of them besides Lennon wrote books, but if they did I want to read them).
I've always liked their music, I sort of grew up with them because they're mom's favorite band. But I never appreciated it in the way it should be appreciated. Seeing Across The Universe for the first time earlier this year opened my eyes and ears to more of their music and the phenomenon that is The Beatles and now I can't get enough of them.
Everyone, even the ones who don't like their music, has to acknowledge the impact they have had on the musical history. That's a fact and there's no denying it.
