Not sure which one you’re referring toBut this one was like… “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy doing other things” (Translated version–Familiar, but I can’t remember where it comes from
)

It’s a line from Beautiful Boy, @ScarlettFieldsForever, and was a paraphrase of a quote originally by someone else.

Oh I didn’t know that, that’s a shame. 
Great quote, though.
And, to stay on topic, the Beatles channel does this thing called “My Fab Four” which is basically “pick your four favorite Beatles songs.” Today my dad told me his fab four: She Loves You , I Feel Fine , Ticket To Ride , and Paperback Writer . All of which are in my top 20. I’m proud of him, he has good taste 
Love one another.

Interesting that both our dads really like Ticket To Ride @50yearslate – I always forget it (though I definitely love the song).
On topic: I went to the music room at lunch today and a girl there played Blackbird on guitar, to which I responded by playing Day Tripper on guitar which she thought was pretty cool.

Not sure which one you’re referring to
I was referring to this quote, which is misattributed to John (meaning he didn’t actually say this):
There’s a thread dedicated to the matter in John’s section of the forum.
But yeh, I love that other line from Beautiful Boy.

My dad and I are both extremely in love with it.
As for the John quote, I like it, but I always thought it seemed very un-John-ish. I guess that explains it

Offline Speaking of misattributed quote…Saw this Google Doodle today (Women’s Day theme)
It shows a quote from Yoko Ono: “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
However, I remember reading it from the “I Want To Tell You ” part on BB, and it was attributed to John.
This is confusing…

fifteen out of fifteen, good job, I’m proud of you. 
Speaking of which, when I was in third grade I took piano lessons for a year, and a couple months ago I was looking through some of my old piano music and A Hard Day’s Night , Hey Jude , and some other songs were mixed in with the other songs. Sadly I don’t remember how to play them, and I’m sure they were easy kiddie-versions too, but I’m proud of my third-grade self.
Oh, and if I recall correctly, I played Yellow Submarine at my first recital.

Timothy, SgtPeppersBulldog, Ahhh GirlI've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

The John version of that fake quote would probably be, and sorry for the language: “do what you f***in’ want, it’s your life, screw em.”
