Thanks, Pope

Posted on 11/24/2008 by Glen Harness

The Vatican has “forgiven” John Lennon for a remark he made about the Beatles being more popular than Jesus. What? That makes no sense. There’s nothing to forgive. He wasn’t bragging, just making an observation. If you think about it, … Continue reading →

Hey, Jude!

Posted on 10/24/2007 by Glen Harness

Sitting here listing to the Beatles 1, and Hey Jude is playing. Does anyone else think that Ringo’s drums sound like cardboard boxes? The snare doesn’t have any top end and the bass drum sounds like he’s kicking a Kleenex … Continue reading →
