Harrison, Lennon, McCartney, Ringo (Library Interlude B)

What do all these last names have in common? I don't know. However, there's one plea I must make with all the Beatles fans out there. Please do not die without having sampled each and ever album created during the Beatle member's solo careers. In the aftermath of the destruction of the beatles, there were four individual musicians. Not all albums were created equally, similarly, not all musicians were created equally. But this matters not. Heed my words. For the spiritual listen to Harrison's "All things must Pass" remastered double CD set where the cover art is all GARDEN GNOMES.

For the spiritual part II listen to Lennon Legend and cut the Lennon crap (like everything else on Mindgames other than the title track, Mindgames)

For the materialistic, "life-is-ephemeral-so-love-it-like-ice-cream-tastes-sweet", listen to Paul - especially the "back in the US" Live 2002 double CD set. If you listen to nothing else by Paul please listen to C-Moon, it's soul-reggae at its finest.

For happy times (like those acheivable when taking uppers and downers) listen to Ringo Starr, the only solo song of his that I've memorized is the one with the chorus, "and you know it don't come easy". It sounds like the song that goes, "Let it rain... let it rain, let your love rain down on me". by Eric Clap-dog. WHO IS THE BEST and who married George Harrison's wife. The two remained good friends even after George's death in 2001 of cancer. "Oh George" was a tribute to George written by the Foo Fighters.

I love the Foo Fighters. BTW - none of this musical connect the dots would've been made possible for me, had it not been for my free local library membership. I'm the proud member of 8 libraries in my region.
