but yeah, seriously, that's like rock star for a night, and then what? Knock 'em dead at Denny's when it's too early to sleep and too late to party? (and how would I know about anything like that?)

I've read that, if they weren't using a keyboard, The Beatles just tuned their guitars to each other without regard to any standard pitch. That explains why I had a lot better time playing along to their records once I got my 1965 Sony/Superscope player with variable speed adjustment.
And I believe the fast 12-string riff that gave George problems, initially, was the solo in the middle of "Hard Day's Night". Geoff Emerick referred to George as sometimes being quite hamfisted with some new guitar parts. But, there are live videos of that song that show he had very well mastered it by the time they toured.
I think "Help!"

It's a perfect song for a GOF to sing. For those that want to follow the bouncing ball...The bass makes this song.

Bootlegs of the song reveal George saying that he couldn't do it that fast and wondering what they'd do. John suggested that he hit his acoustic to keep time during the recording of that part, George wouldn't play. You have to keep in mind that some songs came quickly in the studio. When they recorded some songs, they hardly had time to practice and play them through.
In No Reply, on bootlegs the band is writing the song in the studio and it evolves each time they played it. At one point, they changed the tempo up during "If I were you, I'd realize that I...". John comments, well now we know how it goes. It was amazing how they could read each other on the fly.
To which song do you refer here? [I just knew you would reply to my post before I corrected my error.]

Help!
The band moved so fast. George liked to take the time to practice and work out all the details. Understandable that he needed some time to work on it. They slowed down the track and he overdubbed the guitar part later. At normal speed it's fast.
April 13 1965 was a Tuesday.
I liked Geoff's book. One criticism is that he was overly pro McCartney and made too many negative comments about the others.

Given that I'm still in lockdown, and that the probability of me seeing anyone in the course of the day is low (but higher than zero), I dress daily as if I were to be seen in public.*
Seen in public doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. There are men who wear track suits to their daughter's wedding.
The apparent dysfunction in the system is I'm buying clothing as if someone will see me much beyond the camera. And it was with a clear, and premeditated, intent I bought what is colloquially known as a utility skirt (AKA cargo skirt). By TB rules, or at by least extension of TB rules, this is enough to be perma-banned from stage. Not even Rapunzel makeup can save me from GOF dorkdom
* Nobody on Zoom sees anything below my elbows unless I get up. Which happens. Nobody sees me in pearls and jammie bottoms

If you buy a Logitech the dual side lights activate when sound or microphone are accessed. Also they come with a built in privacy filter.

One puts a small piece of Scotch Magic tape over the lens when it's not in use. Have done that for many years, ever since I found out they can turn your camera on and disable the light and any notification to whichever software you're using that it's on.
That's why I like the flip down cover. As for audio, if they listen in they'll be awful bored!

The real pooper-scoopers of personal data aren't voyeuristic pervs, they're entities openly traded on the stock exchange. To my knowledge, metadata is not traded on the futures exchange. Maybe.

You have Alexa listening all the time anyway. If you work from home, amazon and google are listening in on your confidential communications.
Oh, looky! The little kitty wants to play with his ball(s).

Once we all gave (at least casual) thought to clean mouse balls.
Yeah, that's why I don't have any of that stuff. Including this "work" thing of which you speak.
