MYSTERY SOLVED
Very few of you will find this even REMOTELY as interesting as I do, but if you play the guitar and you like the Beatles, this article is fascinating. It answers something I always wondered about (although I always contended it was Fadd9, and as it turns out I was kinda right):
http://everything2.com/e2node/The%2520%2522A%2520Hard%2520Day%2527s%2520Night%2522%2520Chord%2520-%2520Rock%2527s%2520Holy%2520Grail
------
It is raining. Something to be thankful for the day before Thanksgiving.
------
In the last couple of days, it seems like everyone I know has suddenly discovered Facebook. Everybody seems hell-bent on getting their faces on every conceivable thing: Myspace, facebook, twitter, nitter, spitter, shitter, whatever.
Think of all the things available to us now -- not ALL great or necessary -- that we didn't have even 20 years ago. This is why I wish you could bring people back from the past -- just to show them what their bright ideas ultimately wrought.
Da Vinci deserves to see the helicopter. Jules Verne and H. G. Wells deserve to see the Space Shuttle -- hell, even RIDE in it.
John Lennon should have lived long enough to hear Nirvana. (Think about it. There is not much space between Lennon's plaintive "Mother" and Cobain's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." )
And I wish every son of a bitch who ever even CONSIDERED lynching a person over the color of their skin could be dragged out of their graves to see who our next president is.
That would be something.
------
Happy Thanksgiving, or as an old friend of mine up in Oregon is fond of saying: "EAT DEAD BIRD!"
