My dad was stomping around yelling and cursing "those damn hippies!",,he hated The Beatles. It was in black and white in our house, but I remember thinking how different they looked than all of the prior tv images we saw during the tours.

I've always liked this song better than i probably should. I mean, it has elements that i generally don't like, which is lots of strings, but what the strings play here is really cool. And I like that the lyrics are simple, yet interesting. <br /><br />Isn't it fascinating the Frank Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594252593945843033.post-1146491943227013352009-07-31T15:56:42.179-04:002009-07-31T15:56:42.179-04:00Thanks for the correction!

(Though Spitz's book is apparently full of other errors-- there are whole threads on some Beatles forums dedicated to denigrating that guy.) Norman is kind of an ass, but Shout is so readable that I end up going back to that one.

On Page 700, in a section about the "Our World" broadcast, he writes, "Paul had been working on a song anyway -- "Hello Goodbye" -- that he put up for consideration." Of course, Spitz could be wrong.
