It's just as good as "Revolver". I hate "Revolver".
There. I dared you-- I *challenged* you to call me an idiot.
I would also like to now make several unsubstantiated claims about *who it was exactly* who....
Did anyone watch "Mr. Deeds"? "I slept outside of his flat, in his garbage dumpster, for *three days*, disguised as a carton of ice cream!"
But, now-- I have *several* unsubstantiated claims from an undisclosed source, about *who it was, exactly*, who screwed up....
*uncrumples piece of paper* The Notorious Byrd Brothers.
Well, enough of that, at any rate.
It's an interesting little full-circle journey, (and I guess just as good as "Untitled"-- it's funny, I think), and I think that it's just as good as, anything else, I don't know....
I mean, as the sorta, Famous Ringo Starr and George Martin Cover Band-- *random guy from Capitol in 1964* "In case you don't know-- this man is Ringo Starr!", *screaming girls from the backing vocals of, So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Starr*....
In a way, it is kinda.... full circle. I like it.
And you know that he was getting ready for this, right. Maybe not like George, (super-triple super-duper....), but, you know....
"I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden
In the shade."
"Rock on, George-- Rock on George, for Ringo.... One more time...."
*George Martin starts trying to play some kind of musical instrument*
I mean, it's funny, you know.
Roger McGuinn: God, my life sucks. Being a Rock And Roll Star sucks. Everything sucks. I hate everything; I'm so tired. I tried so hard. I'm so tired.
Chris Hillman: No, wait. Look. *Sentimental Journey, by Ringo Starr*
Roger McGuinn: *starts laughing* This is great. This is.... *fun*! I like it!
Chris Hillman: Let's do some more.
You know what I mean.
Gene Clark: *rises up from the bottom of the screen like a cartoon character* *starts doing backing vocals so softly that you're can't hear it*
George Martin: I don't get it; what's the point of doing it so softly that you can't hear it.
Ringo Starr: You are not a musician. You understand nothing. *dramatic hand thing* Nothing.
George Martin: Are you sure that you were playing the drums on 'I Am The Walrus'? All that I could hear was the piano and John and stuff.
Ringo Starr: Oh, screw you-- you could hear the drums on that one.
I mean-- I don't know what Ringo does.
I just like him.
And I like the whole, Beatles Cover Band sort of thing, you know.
Rock on.
Never stop.
"Everybody has been burned before.
Everybody knows the pain....
But you die inside if you choose to hide.
So I guess instead I'll love you."
Actually, that's from Younger than Yesterday. By the Byrds, '67.
Ringo was actually one of the unidentified session musicians on select tracks in '68 when the shit hit the fan in Byrds-land. He played the tambourine. Paul played the drums, and George Martin helped write some of the songs.
I can prove all of this. I can prove whose fault it was.
I can even prove what the album cover really means.
