The Beatles Demand Equal Time

The story of driving down to Liverpool with Katie-Bar-The-Door, on the other hand, would probably play more like an episode of—well, what? Are there any happily married couples in film, television or literature? Other than Nick and Nora Charles, and Gomez and Morticia Addams, I can't think of any. Although, granted, minus the murder mysteries and the seven foot butler, we very much resemble both of those couples.

Anyway, here is an example of why no matter how much I respect Elvis, I prefer the Beatles:

From first hearing till now, always especially loved the "Big Man (Ringo: Yeah?) walking in the park -- wigwam, frightened of the dark"!

Say, Who, here's a different video edit of "Hey Bulldog" that includes all the pre-song chat and it answers a question I've always had -- who's yelling "quiet! quiet!" at the end of the song. The answer, it's Lennon, and it was actually before the song -- he was telling his band mates (some band called the Beatles) to put a lid on it so he could launch into the song. George Martin must have done an edit and dropped it in at the end.

Which clearly makes this bootleg an "outfake" as opposed to a true outtake -- they've taken the pre-song chatter and added it to the actual song, then they've added some post-song stuff to the end ...

Blah blah blah. Clearly I need a life ....
