Beatley Moments | Page 66 | Fab forum

I was watching a show on sea life on Discovery Channel, and at the end there were these beautiful shots of seals swimming under water.  The song that was playing?  A rendition of "Octopus's Garden."

Today, I was in the car listening to "Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix. After the song was done the announcer came on saying, "Jimi was a wizard and genius with that guitar. Speaking of which today is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birthday. You have geniuses like him, Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky, and The Beatles who just went in there and changed the world." I was not expecting him to mention The Beatles.

Nice!  You're a Hendrix fan too?     Have you ever seen this video?

Funny thing is, I hate Bob Dylan's voice, but I love his lyrics though. 

Thank you!  I'm not the only one!  I totally appreciate Dylan's music, but can never get past that voice!    I give him a ton of credit for the influence he had on the Beatles, though.  Not only with his music, but for introducing them to pot.  That definitely opened up their minds more to the creative musical genius that was The Beatles.

That's why I don't get why people think pot is so bad. The Beatles wrote amazing music while on pot, although they wrote amazing music on other drugs too, but thats besides the point. I believe cigarets are worse and sometimes alcohol is worse, but yet those are legal. Thats just my opinion though.

I totally agree, it's so harmless.  I hope it gets legalized soon.  At least the ball is rolling, in some states at least.  Canadians are always copy-cats so we will follow suite eventually.  We need a different prime minister first because Harper is 100% against it, but that should come soon enough.  The laws are pretty lax on it here already though (thank goodness).  

True!  I am actually very close, just a short ferry ride.  Just got my passport too!  

Last night our hillbilly neighbours were having a party, so my dude decided to put on Beatles Rock band to drown out their loudness.  He was playing, mostly Sgt Pepper, and he says "Look at this:  I'm playing Beatles Rock band, my girlfriend is wearing a Beatles t-shirt, has a Beatles tattoo, and we're both drinking coffee out of Beatles mugs."  Yeah, that's how we roll. 

Off topic but replying. Doesn't that idea depend on how accurate our knowledge of their drug use is, and how those around them considered it affected them? And if you're going to ban substances except for medicinal, ban the lot. What the differences between the taxed drags and the untaxed drugs. Ooo, let's think about that. Alcohol, tax drug. Tobacco, tax drug. Sugar, tax drug. Caffeine, tax drug. Saturated fats, tax drug. Can you really say these tax drugs – with their addictions, obesity, diabetes, deaths of others while under the influence, and cancers – are any less harmful?

 Y'know, there's probably a thread for that discussion.

Beatley moment: Some people at school were singing Here Comes the Sun in the hallway (for no apparent reason), so I asked them if they liked the Beatles. Their response: "Ew! Bugs are gross!"

Don't know there is, but I was just replying to Into the Sky with Diamonds, and responding to what he was saying to LongHairedLady and Sky090909 about views they'd expressed elsewhere. Even though I haven't taken an illegal drug in three or four years, I don't see any problem with them. I just take the prescribed drugs nowadays.

There's probably a Beatles and drugs, and certainly Beatles and drugs crop up in more than one thread, but I don't think there's, and I'm not sure Joe would allow, a general discussion on drugs. You seen my Bill Hicks post on, I think, page 20 of the choosing between two things thread, you might like.
