You can't mean that. He was saying that people complain about the rain, and change their behavior when it rains ... and then, counterintuitively, they go and do the same thing when it's NOT raining. Do they just want something to bitch about? They should do what they want without being governed by something as common as the weather.

It must have been amazing.

They both have great guitar sounds, prominent bass, and -- like another great song, Strawberry Fields Forever -- Ringo doing extended fills that can last (in the case of She Said She Said) three bars at a time.<br /><br />I never thought of it until you pointed it out, but yes, this is just a three-chord song, I-IV-V.
