So Paul what do you think about Day Tripper being about a prostitute? Bbw that's interesting about the "prick teaser" insert. The Beatles were known for slipping naughty words in their G rated songs - like "finger pies" in "Penny Lane" and in "Girl" - She's the kind of girl who puts you down...

That is a great point by EB. A great song is universal but still can have have very specific meanings for individuals as they recall certain points in their life. I think sene5hos has mentioned this about songs in his life. Of course sometimes a person may entirely miss the meaning of the...

Wow I just discovered this today. If any of you are Bob Dylan or George Harrison fans - They actually recorded an album's worth of material back in May of 1970, but never released it. Other musicians involved included Charlie Daniels and Al Kooper. 55 minutes long but you can jump to specific...

Neither. I'll take the Dylan express> Well, I ride on a mail train, baby, can't buy a thrill Well, I been up all night leanin' on the windowsill Well, if I die on top of the hill And if I don't make it, you know my baby will…

EB - I would say "Solitary Man" was my favorite Diamond song, followed by "I Am I Said". Also kudos to the cover of Neil's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" from "Pulp Fiction". Man Tarantino picks some fine songs for his movies. (Oh, BTW "Sweet Caroline" is probably the only Diamond song I would...

Emma Peel - Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo - Olenna Tyrell Played some great characters on TV and movies. I became smitten with Emma Peel after watching TV reruns of "The Avengers" in the 80's. Funny, smart, sexy, and tough. Everything an impressionable young boy would love in a woman. The...

If I could go back 10 years: Sloan ( Emmanuelle Sophie Anne Chriqui ) If I could go back 50 years: Michelle Phillips

Gents - forgive my indulgence for one last Ringo comment. Funny segment from The Family Guy concerning Ringo's songwriting skills: Back Off Boogaloo - another song that originally only showed Ringo as the songwriter but later gave credit to George as co-writer. Many people believe this song...

If I put my college professor hat on I would say "Mr. Starkey , you claim to have written these three very successful songs with only a little help from your friend George. Yet without your friend George, you have written nothing close to this level of success before or after. Do you really...

When I see people that wear the Black Lives Matter tee-shirt with the Nike swoop on the side, I can't help but wonder how they reconcile this with the charge that Nike uses slave labor in China to make their Nike shoes?

Yes Paul played drums on "Back in the U.S.S.R." and "Ballad of John and Yoko".

EB - I think George wrote "It Don't Come Easy" and "Back Off Boogaloo" and "Photograph" and probably most of "Octupus's Garden". Here is George's demo of "It Don't Come Easy", done so Ringo could learn the lyrics and the song. It sounds exactly like Ringo's version, except with swapped vocals...

Another funny but largely unknown series is "What We Do in the Shadows." Several ancient vampires are living together on modern day Staten Island. They are largely baffled by modern day society, but are protected and serviced by their familiar Guillermo. The vampires believe Guillermo is a...

I of course agree with you. Nobody should take polls or surveys too seriously. I provided these polls to add a little context and a few ha ha"s. As was seen with the "Shrillary landslide in 2016", you can manipulate polls and surveys to get the results you want.

Robert - Thanks for this notice. I had not heard of the show. The premise sounds interesting. I also like to watch shows filmed in Montreal. We don't get many showing up on U.S. TV. I loved the old Montreal cop drama 19-2. In the U.S. we got the English language version, but the storyline was...

I don't think too many men will admit to watching "This Is Us" . If they do, they will say "My wife makes me watch it." Lol. Have you watched "Killing Eve"? Based on your list, it seems like a quirky show that you would enjoy. And even though it's a chick series, I enjoy it. Eve is a British...

A different U.S. study from 2016. Seems pretty consistent with previous thoughts. Interesting that the 30 -44 group is higher than the older age groups. Maybe the advances of technology make it easier or maybe the stigma is decreasing? What's the story with the 2% of males who don't know if...

Found this 2011 study online from an org called ProCon. They estimate U.S. % to be between 15 and 20%. Very similar to what many in this thread estimated. Funny that the % in the U.K. is so low.

To tie up the Badfinger discussion. The songwriters for the group, Ham and Evans, both committed suicide by hanging. Ham because he was in financial distress and not receiving proper royalties from a corrupt manager. Evans for not receiving royalties for "Without You". Can't help thinking about...

Interesting tidbit from the movie. When the producer was looking for a lead song for the movie, Harry wrote " I guess the Lord Must by in NYC". Bob Dylan wrote "Lay Lady Lay". But the producer picked Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin' at Me" instead. At least they let Harry sing it.
