I grew up listening to both Hot Rocks albums and loving them, but never got into any of their original releases.

Which album should I listen to to fix this situation?

An episode ended with a man crying his eyes out, screaming “I’m sorry, I’m sorry” over and over while he’s pounding on a window. He was responsible for someone dying. Or maybe just unable to save another person’s life.

That’s all I remember, but it was intense and affecting and stuck with me for 30 years.

Can anyone out there help me?

...which I've always taken with a grain of salt.

But lately I've been thinking about "Help," which, if you listen to his demo version, was clearly a cry for help.

And the song that ended up as "Yellow Submarine" originally went "In the town where I was born, no one cared... no one cared."

And "Nowhere Man" was a statement about himself that no one realized was confessional because the emotion was buried in the production.

In fact, as I look at a chronological list of all the songs he primarily wrote, it seems there was a slew of sad, potentially confessional songs lyrics that don't get recognized for their emotional honesty. So maybe that's what motivated him criticizing the end products of the songs like he did.

Thoughts?

I just realized recently that a bunch of Beatles songs (maybe even some solo John and Paul songs?) were first written when Paul and John were just a couple kids trying to figure out how to write songs. For example, I believe Paul has said that he first wrote "When I'm 64" when he was about 14.

Do any of you Beatles scholars out there know have a comprehensive list of which ones were written in that era?

After 50 years of assuming that the Beatles changed their looks simply by getting a different haircut and/or growing some facial hair, it occurred to me recently that they might have done more than that.

For example, in the Let It Be era, Paul all of a sudden had darker hair than John or George. Did he dye it? Or had he been dying it earlier to match the others?

For another example, in the mid 70's, George glorious locks all of a sudden became very curly. So he got a perm, right?

Can any hair professionals out there confirm or refute my theory?

It occurred to me recently that "Airplane" was the first time funny people took a movie and riffed on it to the amusement of an audience. I imagine that Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker watched "Zero Hour" together, spontaneously made a bunch of jokes about it to each other, and were so amused they recognized that the public would be just as entertained by this as they were.

So my theory is that Joel watched "Airplane," and was consciously or unconsciously inspired to create MST3K. He would have been 20 years old when it came out.

What do you think?

I'm predicting that each of the four upcoming Beatles movies will have a Deepfake version where people replace the actors with AI duplicates, and probably replace the voices as well. And each Deepfake will probably get more views than the original.

My question is, how many days after one of the movies hits streaming would you guess it will take somebody to do this job?
