Warm Gun starts well but quickly flounders. USSR is great start to finish.

Warm Gun is my favorite Beatles song. USSR is a fun pastiche.

I agree with this post with the caveat that Warm Gun is my second favorite Beatles song. DOWN GOES HESTON.

Oh, Heston appeals to mass popularity of mediocrity. Shocking.

Just noticed Happiness has a weird bass part in the "when I hold you" part of the chorus that almost suggests an odd time signature but isn't really as the drums keep 4/4. It's weird, but cool.

Also, I think I had only heard this one in Bowling for Columbine where it was used quite well I think.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

On that note, I need to try harder with BTK. As much as I love One Direction, this should be a natural extension.
