Ginscpy's everlasting gobstopper Beatles thread - 69 threads combined!

I'd suggest that rather the Beatles changed everything?

The Beatles wrote the sound track to the "Everything in the USA is changing" movie.

For those of you who weren't around the 1950s and early 1960s, truly understanding how much society changed in that decade from about the mid 60s to about the mid 70s is probably very difficult to truly grasp.

Consider some of the period's highlights:
the assassination of two Kennedies and MLK,
cities thoughout the USA burning in riots,
the civil right movement the civil rights bills, affirmative action
the war in Viet Nam, the anti-War protests, Mayday riots in Washington
Chicago Dem Convention police insurrection and subsequent trials of the Chicao 7
Kent State
the remergence of the modern Feminist movement,
the birth of the ecology movement, earth day, the Whole Earth Catalog
Watergate, the Wtergate hearsings, resignation of the Nixon

Tumultuous times those and their effects are still resonating even 30+ years later.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo... (etc.)
 
Yeah Magical Mystery Tour (that was the album this song was on, right?) was certain a departure from where POP music was headed, without doubt.

See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.


Great line, that.
 
I Should Have Known Better - John playing the harmonica and singing -- terrible musicians!!
 
When they were at their best

Maybe the best ever at what they did - if that makes any sense...................

Agreed, great years...but not the best years

I'd extend the time period into at least 68, tho.

The double White Album was released in Dec 68 and that was, in my opinion, their best overall album of all time
 
Hear ya.

White Album.

Not my favorite -but whatever.

Greatest rock band that ever was OR EVER WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
