mornin'!! this is the first time i've been able to listen LIVE in quite a while!! i, too, saw the Beatles movie, last night. "SPOILER ALERT" (if there is such thing as a spoiler for documentaries): i enjoyed it, but it is pretty mainstream-ish. not a lot new to be seen, there, but always enjoyable. there was one footage scene that was shocking, to me. my complaints will follow if anyone wants to hear 'em.

From the New Yorker review of Eight Days: Ringo, interviewed for the movie, remembers a period when the only way to decipher what point they had reached in a song, enthroned as he was behind his drum kit, was to observe the motion of John’s and Paul’s backsides. One presumes that George was already bending his mind toward the East, with the result that his ass remained transcendentally calm.
