wilburys, their best, IMHO

Many of my godbrothers think that the Beatles did a lot for spreading the Holy Name, today I found that and somehow my doubt about the Beatles' status is somehow verified? Ok, Georg Harrisson is special, he's a special soul, but Paul, well yes, he's a vegetarian........

 

Get Back

1970, Let It Beir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000002UB6

“Jo Jo left her home in Tuscon Arizona for some California grass.” Is the grass just grass? What, she couldn’t find any grass in Tucson?

 

 

 

The Beatles titan recently claimed, allegedly during a talk with friend and self-proclaimed “king of bitter divorces” Alec Baldwin a few days ago, that he has grown physically sick from the latest charges by his estranged wife in their divorce proceedings. (Her latest claim is that he stole paintings by Picasso and Renoir from their once-shared lodge.) But, let us revisit for a moment one of the more interesting charges leveled by Heather against Paul, shall we? Let us return to the drugs.

Drugs In Song

However much McCartney may like his altered states, particularly those derived from cannabis consumption, direct drug references are rare and allusions are subject to debate and interpretation. Nevertheless, aside from the songs mentioned earlier, “Got To Get You Into My Life” and “Day Tripper,” I present a few McCartney lyrics that reference drugs, or seem like they probably reference drugs.

 

 

I’m Looking Through You

1965, Rubber Soulir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000002UAO

Ripped on weed, McCartney sees deeply into his then girlfriend, model Jane Asher, and decides she’s a phony. This story has been told by McCartney himself.

 

 

Yellow Submarine

1966, Revolverir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00005GL0Q

On the surface, a child’s rhyme; but the song was taken as a winking assertion of hippie, psychedelic, drop out escape from the dreary mainstream culture into the upcoming party utopia. It was even adapted by some new left activists as a theme song for those seeking an alternative culture.

 

 

With A Little Help From My Friends

1967, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Bandir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000002UAU

He gets high with a little help from his friends. What does he see when he turns out the lights?

 

 

Fixing A Hole

1967, Sgt. Peppers

Taken by some to be a heroin song (fixing being a term used for shooting up], but also works as a contemplative pothead song or, for that matter, a plain old contemplative person’s song. Another song lyric with a drop out vibe.

 

 

Lovely Rita

1967, Sgt. Peppers

“When are you free to take some tea with me?” George Harrison has commented that The Beatles frequently used tea as a pseudonym for pot. On the other hand, they were Limeys, so maybe tea is just tea.

 

 

A Day In The Life

1967, Sgt Peppers

“Found my way upstairs and had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream.” Probably not a ciggie, but you never know.

 

 

Magical Mystery Tour

1968, Magical Mystery Tourir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00005GL0W

“Roll up!” “A mystery trip.” And the whole album/movie concept was taken from Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters.

 

 

Penny Lane

1968, Magical Mystery Tour

“The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray.” Hey, wouldn’t a florist be selling poppies from a tray? In England, heroin was medicalized and made available to addicts, who were given injections by nurses. Also, “Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.” George Harrison grew up in a suburb near this street, Penny Lane. I recall a story about how George went back there on acid to grok it in all its weirdness. This may have inspired Paul’s song.

 

 

Get Back

1970, Let It Beir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000002UB6

“Jo Jo left her home in Tuscon Arizona for some California grass.” Is the grass just grass? What, she couldn’t find any grass in Tucson?

 

 

Three Legs

1971, Ram

“When I fly above the clouds, when I fly above the crowds, you could knock me down with a feather.”

 

 

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

1971, Ram

“Hands across the water. Heads across the sky.” Ahh, peace and drugs in the early seventies. References to heads in the late sixties and early seventies were pretty much understood to mean psychedelic drug heads.

 

 

C Moon

1973, Red Rose Speedwayir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00000721M

“I’d never get to heaven if I filled my head with glue. What’s it all to you?” A rejection of a bad high, and yet, ain’t nobody’s business but his own.

 

 

Hi Hi Hi

1973, Red Rose Speedway

This one is blatant and should have been titled High High High. He’s “gonna get high high high.” Mediocre song, though.

 

 

Band On The Run

1973, Band on the Runir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00000I7KL

Not about drugs, but about being busted for drugs and Macca’s concerns about being “stuck inside these four walls, sent away for ever.’

 

 

Rock Show

1975, Venus and Mars

“The tension mounts you score an ounce ole!”

 

 

Medicine Jar

1975, Venus and Mars

McCartney’s first anti-hard drug song for Wings. Wings guitarist, Jimmy McCulloch, had an ongoing problem with heavy drugs, and eventually died from a heroin overdose. It’s generally thought that McCartney wrote these lyrics trying to challenge and discourage his behavior. “Dead on your feet, you won’t get far if you keep on putting your hand in the medicine jar.”

 

 

Wino Junko

1976, At The Speed Of Soundir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00000721C

Apparently, McCartney continued to preach it to brother McCulloch. “Pill freak spring a leak you can’t say no.”

 

 

The Song We Were Singing

1997, Flaming Pieir?t=neofilesradio-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000002ULO

Apparently a bit of misty nostalgia for old-fashioned psychedelic philosophizing and The Beatles heyday, which also seems to permeate the entire album. “For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe. And discuss all the vast intricacies of life… Take a sip, see the world through a glass and speculate about the cosmic solution.”

 

 

Flaming Pie

1997, Flaming Pie

“I took my brains out and stretched ‘em on a rack. Now I’m not so sure I’m ever gonna get ‘em back… Go ahead, have a vision.”

Thanks prabhu, yes, this is a nice thought, George is alive!

For the commemoration of the anniversary of John's early death, Barry Gordon remembers that the Beatles had Hare Krishna inspired days.

Thanks Barry!

 

Do we still love Fab Four? Yeah yeah yeah

The Bootleg Beatles ****

The Playhouse

DESPITE playing the same songs since they formed in 1980, The Bootleg Beatles still perform with smiles on their faces.

The tribute act's annual December concerts are as traditional as Christmas itself, and, as ever, covered every genre of the Beatles' career, from the moptop era to Sergeant Pepper, from their Hare Krishna-inspired days to Abbey Road.

All that was required was a little get-up-and-go from the audience. Unfortunately, the public -whose energy the Bootleg's thrive upon - took a wee while to clamber aboard the Yellow Submarine.

Naturally, most of the instantly recognisable Beatles tunes got an airing. It was nice to see slightly more obscure tracks, such as This Boy and If I Needed Someone, get a look-in too.

Paul took a ribbing from John over his costly divorce ("I think I can afford it," replied Paul); George (a doppleganger for the real one) earned a laugh for introducing a song from their forthcoming DVD (despite not being invented yet); while Ringo got by with a little help from his friends (in this case, the audience).

Later on, John drew laughs from the crowd for mistaking the beginning of an Oasis song for one of his own, but that was before classic singalongs All You Need Is Love and Hey Jude reared their heads, with the entire audience joining in.

With the concert so close to the anniversary of John Lennon's death, it was both fitting and poignant that the band should encore with Happy Christmas (War Is Over). Indeed, as fans aged between eight and 80 left the auditorium grinning from ear-to-ear, it was obvious what they thought of the Bootleg Beatles: Fab.

Haribol. Many times, I have been thought to be another mahaksadasa. Unfortunately for him, the other mahaksa dasa has been confused with me, giving him much headache.

 

I really like the other mahaksa das, and have found a nice you tube featuring this nice devotee, disciple of Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krsna, ys, the not so talented mahaksa dasa

Song to the Siren

Tim Buckley

 

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

'Til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang

Sail to me

Sail to me

Let me enfold you

Here I am

Here I am

Waiting to hold you

 

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you hare when I was fox?

Now my foolish boat is leaning

Broken lovelorn on your rocks,

For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:

O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

 

I am puzzled as the newborn child

I am troubled at the tide:

Should I stand amid the breakers?

Should I lie with Death my bride?

Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:

Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you

Just had a look, Mahaksa-ji. Way wild (especially the hair--nobody light a match!!).

 

I'm scared to click on the first link, though.

Sorry, murali, that wasnt the g version. There is the same song sung by a twisted japanese group and accompanied by awesome japanimation. This is the one I should have done

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg35wJlxcQY&feature=related

 

yeah, I like you tube, stuff you cant find anywhere. I even found a "collectors" (Canadas Doors) riff, which ya cant find anywhere, clouds by pink floyd, all the obscurred (no beacon from mars by illinois speed press though).

 

Haribol, bro. yer surf ant, mahaksadasa
