Here's one that's going to blow Rock's feeble mind:"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was a musical fragmentation grenade, exploding with a force that is still being felt ... it changed the entire nature of the recording game - for keeps." - George Martin

Yeah...my mind is blown! Cleaning up the mess now. Hook must be having some trouble with his "7" girlfriends. As I recall, having one was bad enough, just ask John or Paul. (oops...just Paul I guess )(As I bring this back to subject)

"George Harrison and John Lennon were the ones most against touring ... I'd been trying to say ..Ah, tourings good and it keeps us sharp .. but finally I agreed with them" - Paul McCartney

Yeah, Lennon was a bullshit artist of the highest order when it came to stuff like this. He even recorded that horrible covers album in the 70s just to settle a court case with Chuck Berry's publisher (for stealing the riff for 'Come Together'). He went to all that trouble rather than part with the cash that he could easily afford! He was worth 250 million when he died.
