I'm sure this guy sincerely believed what he wrote. But now, almost 60 years later, we're still talking about The Beatles and Ed Sullivan. However, I can't search up anything about this guy or the newspaper he wrote for! Apparently not many people saw things as he saw it.

Made me think that people do have the right to their opinion, and then reminded me of this scene--with the opinion stuff starting at about 1:28

I think most of us would be of the opinion that his opinion should be hauled away as garbage.
But he still has the right to that opinion.

The George Harrison Rosewood Telecaster is now available to we mere mortals, more than 50 years after the original made history.

Very nice but I would want the bridge/pu ashtray.

Yeah! Apparently George's guitar had it!

​

But, then, he didn’t always use it, either.

Of course, they are available separately for a nominal cost. But that's a strange little thing to chintz out on for a nearly $3,000 guitar (case included).

I think it was George Martin who noted this was the first session in a long time where he felt the band was having fun. And that bass line!

It sure looks like fun! The video was supposed to be for "Lady Madonna", but they decided to do John's unfinished "She Can Talk To Me" instead! So, he & Paul finished it, right then and there. When they sang "Hey Bullfrog" at the end, Paul started barking just for grins. John liked it and renamed it "Hey, Bulldog" even though it's never mentioned until the end. By all accounts this session was very much like a Marx Brothers movie!

Hey, that's cheap compared to the Custom Shop version released a while back! I think that went for $12K new.

George was given that guitar. I don’t think that he cared much for it. He gave it to Delaney Bramlett.

Ah! But at least the $12k Custom Shop version came with the bridge cover, for complete authenticity!

Here's the very interesting story of Vee Jay Records and their U.S. introduction of The Beatles in February 1963, a full year before their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show!

.Invalid Link Removed​

Being a naive 12-year-old in early 1964, it appeared to me that Vee Jay was trying to steal Capitol's thunder with their "Introducing... The Beatles" album, which actually pre-dates Capitol Records' "Meet The Beatles". Little did I know.

I got Capitol's "Meet ..." as soon as it came out in January '64 and fell absolutely enthralled with it. I already had, and loved, the single "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and had learned to play it on guitar. By contrast, the Vee Jay album I saw (shown below) looked like a cheap knockoff with drawings instead of more photographs. But, by the end of '64, Capitol still hadn't released the "Please Please Me" album, so I got Vee Jay's album.

My favorite album is Rubber Soul.

Hey, Gravey Davy! What's yer favorite song on Rubber Soul, and why?

I have a hard time choosing favorites, albums or songs. I find things to appreciate in almost all of them. (Except "Number 9 ... number 9 ... numb ... ")

I had an original pressing of Vee Jay's "Introducing... The Beatles" and in stereo even.

Counterfeit copies are very common.

I also had a double album on VJ called "The Beatles vs. The Four Seasons".

Good and genuine copies of those albums sell for crazy money.

I bought the Vee-Jay double album release of The Beatles vs The Four Seasons when it came out before any Capitol release. It even had a scorecard for each track on the rear cover in a Battle Of The Bands type competition. Wild.

I'm the same. When people ask what kind of music I like, I say it depends on when you ask me, but if I had to choose my favorite from Rubber Soul right now, I'd say In My Life. There is a lot to like about that song, the message in the lyrics is pretty deep, it is a good melody, I like the harpsichord solo, and it's easy to dance to, so I'd give it a 7.

[Dick Clark] Thank you for your rating. [/Dick Clark]

Yes! Song favorites can be very circumstantial. "In My Life" is a very popular song because of its message. "All these places have their moments." Boomers, especially, are of an age where looking back is, hopefully, a pleasantly wistful experience. Mrs. Dog and I really like that one and "Imagine" as our favorite John songs.

However, since getting my Fender Rumble Studio 40 bass modeling amp (like the Mustang is for guitar), and finding it has a preset called "Rubber Soul Fuzz" , I find "Think For Yourself" frequently playing in my head. Arguably the first intentionally distorted fuzz bass recording! Not the most cuddly message, but quite a booty shaker for its time, if you ask me. It's George's second most distinctive song on the album, right behind the inimitable "Norwegian Wood"!
