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 cuts if you look at Seth Thompson's note in the Youtube comments section. Dylan singing Yesterday - Who'd of thunk.

Didn't they also collaborate in the Travelling Wilburies in the 1980s?
A Perfect Circle is an American rock supergroup formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan

Chowzilla, I could not follow your suggestion, because for 7 years I have had tinnitus.
The specialist told me that I listened to a lot of very loud music, that it was the accumulation of all these years.
I still listen to a lot of music, but a lot less loudly.

I am so sorry for your loss. I should be more careful. Hopefully you got to appreciate the intro still.
Hope your situation improves.
This 1971 song is now viewed as emblematic of late 60s/early 70s counterculture and is a staple on Sirius's Class Vinyl station:
San Francisco - Scott McKenzie
This song has become the icon of the Summer of Love and the hippie movement.
San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) is a song by Scott McKenzie, written by John Phillips, member of The Mamas & the Papas, to promote the Monterey International Pop Music Festival. Released as a single in 1967.

Listening to Sirius 70s station today, and I heard a song which I really believe was written for all of you guys who had their ATF suddenly and inexplicably retire, and just vanish like a bird into thin air. I remember around 5 years ago some guy, MERB poster, can't recall the handle, started a thread sleuthing on what happened to his ATF, and he seemed doggedly determined to find out why she retired and "left" him. Unsatisfied by the agency's responses to his inquiries, his dogged pursuit did not uncover the mystery of what happened to her- at least not on MERB, anyway. This song, supposedly written about a man smitten by an escort, is for him, and for all you guys who have been searching for words after the ATF suddenly leaves, never to be seen or adored again:
Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears
You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird,
Gonna fly right out of here without a single word
But you know you'll break my heart when I watch you close that door
Cause I know I won't see you anymore
Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears
Haven't I been good to you, what about that brand new ring?
Doesn't that mean love to you, doesn't that mean anything?
If I threw away my pride and I got down on my knees,
Would you make me beg you "pretty please"?
Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears
There's so much I want to do
I've got love enough for two
And I'll never use it, girl, if I don't have you
Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears
You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird,
Gonna fly right out of here without a single word

That is a great song but how do you know it's about an escort? It could easily be about a gf.
The beauty of really good music is that it's open to the varying interpretations of the listener, and the good songwriters write a song so it is open to multiple meanings, not just 1.
Neither artist is my style. Yet while I will never get on the Peace Train I looove the Love Train. I dig it man....it's a stone groove.
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 song, especially politicians. Ronald Regan used Springsteen's "Born in the USA" as a rally song, much to Springsteen's consternation. Likewise Donald Trump using Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" (as pointed out by sene5hos). And Neil hates Trump so much that he did the unthinkable(even sene5hos wouldn't go this far). Neil became a US citizen this year (after living in the US for 50 years) so, as he said, he could vote against Trump. LOL.
But back to EB's original song. Many people believe that the Beatles "Day Tripper" and "Lady Madonna" were about escorts. They always denied this. They finally did do a song about a SW - "Maggie Mae" on their last released album. But the most famous song I can think of about an escort was from the movie "Never on a Sunday":
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day, a wet day
Which ever one you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day, a pay day
And see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day, a freak day, or a weekday
Well, you can be my guest
But never ever on a Sunday, a Sunday the one day I need a little rest
GaryH,
I agree, but other than "It's My Life" by the Animals, I cannot think of another song that so obsessively broods over money spent on a woman, and in my experience when a GF leaves a guy the money spent on her isn't usually a complaint. In any event, some of these songs mean whatever you want them to mean. You brought up the Beatles and the interpretations of their songs and I am pretty certain that either I Am The Walrus or another of John Lennon's songs was written as an amused reaction to hearing about an elementary school teacher spending a class on deciphering the meaning of a Beatles song.

Indeed according to the Wiki John Lennon wrote I Am The Walrus as an attempt to confound listeners who had been searching for meanings in Beatles songs:
en.m.wikipedia.org
"Lennon wrote the song to confound listeners who had been affording serious scholarly interpretations of the Beatles' lyrics. He was partly inspired by two LSD trips and Lewis Carroll's 1871 poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter". Compositionally, every musical letter of the alphabet is invoked and every chord is a major or a seventh. Producer George Martinarranged and added orchestral accompaniment that included violins, cellos, horns, and clarinet. The Mike Sammes Singers, a 16-voice choir of professional studio vocalists, also joined the recording, variously singing nonsense lines and shrill whooping noises."
The song is a joke by Lennon and can only be interpreted as such because the lyrics are complete nonsense. Musically it's a great song though.

The Beatles, I am the walrus
Here's that song, another Beatles song that I love.

Day Tripper is one of my top Beatles songs (along with I am the Walrus which has also been mentioned here). I don't think it is about an escort; sounds more like it concerns a flakey chick lol. Legend has it that the official lyric "she's a big teaser" is actually "she's a prick teaser". Apparently John and Paul slurred the vocals a bit to disguise this. If you listen closely it does sound like "prick teaser". Whatever...love that killer guitar hook!
Lady Madonna may be about an escort; it is open to interpretation.
Maggie May definitely is but it is a cover of a traditional Liverpool sailor song.
