I honestly don’t think it’s a good song even without a slur.

They would argue that love shapes the action. It's a wonderfully utopian notion amounts to "if you want something to be true, it will be."

Me neither. It is actually quite poor. The fact people have voted Penny Lane ahead of it is totally insane..Wolter wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 2:25pmI honestly don’t think it’s a good song even without a slur.

Two votes for "Hello Goodbye"? The lyrics are silly Paul without being annoying Paul, while being superior Paul melody. If not for SFF—spoiler: Tom will vote against SFF because god has abandoned us—it'd easily be my pick for the side.

The boomers' self satisfaction failed us all. It was a belief in their generation's exceptionalism and that a foggy conception of love alone could just triumph, that led to the 80s, the hippie to yuppie continuum.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 2:33pmThey would argue that love shapes the action.

Re: Magical Mystery Tour - Side B - Round 1
Totally. There's also a fairly direct line to Manson in all that, too—the fantasist who can change the world. Yet I can't reject the fundamental humanism in what the Beatles represented, naive as it is. Its an impractical ambition, not a way of effecting real change, but an inspiration nonetheless.Silent Majority wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 2:47pmThe boomers' self satisfaction failed us all.

Actually, no. My vote lies with Baby, You're A Rich Man. A song I wouldn't mind never hearing again.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Jan 2021, 2:38pmTwo votes for "Hello Goodbye"?
