Hey Jude by The Beatles Songfacts: Oct 27, 2007 6:39am 1 review pop-music, music, the-beatles, songfacts, hey-jude
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=141; Some trivia about "my" song, since everyone
says "Hey Jude -- sorry, I couldn't resist that."

Songfacts is the best site for this sort of thing,
though who can say how factual it really is.

Paul McCartney wrote it as "Hey Jules," a song meant to comfort John Lennon's son Julian as his parents were getting a divorce. The change to "Jude" was inspired by the character "Jud" in the musical Oklahoma!.

My father called me JUD too and I found it morbid, because "poor Jud is daid".
I think I could wear it when I'm a bit older though.

****

McCartney didn't like the initial lyrics, especially the line "The movement you need is on your shoulder." Lennon convinced him to keep them.
Presumably so we'd see down through history that McCartney wasn't all he was cracked up to be.

****

ťť It is the most commercially successful Beatles song.

ťť Lennon: "I always heard it as a song to me."

ťť It was going to be the B-side to "Revolution," but it ended up the other way around.

ťť George Harrison wanted to play a guitar riff after the vocal phrases, but Paul wouldn't let him. Things got tense between them around this time as McCartney got very particular about how Harrison played on songs he wrote.

ťť Ringo was in the toilet when recording started. He made it to his drums just before his cue.

ťť It starts with one instrument, ends with 50.

ťť The "na na na" fadeout takes 4 minutes. The chorus is repeated 19 times.

ťť Sesame Street did a parody called "Hey Food".

Panoramio - Photos of the World: Oct 26, 2007 11:30am 33 reviews photography, travel, blogs, google-earth, the-world
http://www.panoramio.com/; Well fancy that, I found the house I
was born in on a Spanish database.

Yes, I am from humble origins, and it
may explain why I feel so at
home in abandoned places.
I didn't even have a mum and
dad; I was just found there.

OK, cutting the crap, Panoramio is a photo
search site linked to Google Earth.

Mind-blowing for travel and photography nuts.

Oct 25, 2007 8:44am: My Bill had balls!

This cat looks like my little hero Bill,
who I got from the SPCA as a kitten.
Vet said take him back -- he had cat flu.
Not only that, he had a huge hernia
and they couldn't operate.
I'd only had him for a couple of hours
but I wouldn't take him back.

I gave him his own room in our house and
became his devoted nurse and "mother".
He survived, as I knew he would, but once
he started roaming he got hit by a
car and suffered two broken legs.
He survived that too and came to
be admired by all my friends.

I don't think it's a home without cats.
It's not a home page without them either, so I'm
going to chuck an extra one in for TapwaterJ.

On Rodney J's other life, as a dancer.
I already knew him as an astute politically-oriented
stumbler -- the most impressive
newcomer I've seen on here.
But there's evidently a lot
more to him than that.

Untitled Document: Oct 24, 2007 1:18pm 5 reviews arts, demons
http://www.happygoat.org/conceptdesign/conceptdesign%20html%20ver/summon/inde...; Edosan has turned me into a slavering, club-footed
creature of the night, and I fear the spell will not be
lifted before All Hallows.

Until then, I will not be responsible for my actions!

Gottfried Helnwein | WORKS | Mixed Media on Canvas | Sleep 3: Oct 23, 2007 9:38am 1 review photography, sleep, faces, portraits
http://www.helnwein.com/werke/leinwand/bild_1700.html; As a kid I couldn't sleep when sent
to bed too early (which
was most of the time).
So one of the games I played in the
dark was trying to identify the
whole different palette of colours
you could distinguish in the shadows.

That's what this photo recalls for me.
That other world.

And tks once again to Bad-Seed,
who always posts intriguing art.
