  • White Album the most incredibly overrated "they'll buy anything cuz we're the Beatles" album ever - Cry Baby Cry and Long Long Long good, but too much filler. Your issue on Beggar's Banquet covered the true album of '68, with every track speaking to the times and giving value for money.

  • Great new issue it seems!I love the Beatles,especially as they were in 1968 (the coolest gang in the world by far,known by everyone and still mysterious).I can't wait to put my hands on it. Long live the White album.Any chance of it (and the whole discography) being remastered and released any time soon? Best regards, David Huret

  • Oh, and I forgot to mention about the Beatles, the biggest sell-outs (in both credibility and record-sales) of '68 as well -the lyrics of Lennon's Revolution (it's gonna be alright, count me out) were the equivalent of, We're rich/ f*** you, to the peace movement.

  • No, just read Nina Simone and many of Lennon's contemporaries on hearing his lyrics for Revolution - they were viewed as completely out of touch with what was happening with the rise of Nixon and Vietnam, or as Ian McDonald so aptly put it "The lazy navel-gazing of pampered recluses." Dear Prudence, Martha, Rev #9 -self-indulgent dreck. White Album the greatest example of the band's 'they'll buy anything because we're the Beatles' ethos.

  • I'd go for the Beatles take on reality any day over yours Steve Conn. I bought the album when it came out in 1968 and brother it was radical. Unless you were living the American experience that year, and were old enough to be drafted, I suggest you shut the hell up. Stop quoting from Nina Simone too, you poser, you make me sick.

  • I'm sure you WOULD go for the Beatles airy-fairy version of reality, Dick Stump. Yes, I was indeed old enough to be drafted in '68, and you must have been living a true Leave It To Beaver, milquetoast existence to ever consider the White Album radical. And posing has nothing to do with Nina Simone telling Lennon to 'clean his brain' on hearing Revolution. Her thoughts echoed a lot of people who had to live outside the Beatles ivory tower.

Beatles always sound like ,'wink-wink, we're just doing another cutesy experiment, we're too clever to be really emotionally committed,' which gets tiresome as you get older.

  • There's a fine line between expanding boundaries and dealing out musical masturbation at the buyer's expense, and "I'm So Tired," "Bungalow Bill" "Wild Honey Pie" and "Revolution #9" unfortunately crosses it. Only the very latest albums of the Stones have a going-through-the-motions quality; in their heyday, their albums scorched the turntable with a vitality and urgency the smarmy, in-jokey Beatles couldn't hope to match.

Sympathy For The Devil from the same year a sleek missle that makes the Beatles attempts to be cool more cloddish than ever. Stones found every texture in R & B to thrilling effect; Beatles water-down every genre they touch to make acceptable music for easily frightened caucasians.

  • Steve, keep in mind that the Beatles and Stones were two very different bands with different approaches to rock/pop/r&b music. The key to appreciating the two is in listening and taking note of just how they approached the music at that period in its development and how their songs were composed within the pop-music framework. "White Album" would not be the best example to go by when making an analysis of the Beatles approach to rock/pop music. An album like "Revolver" would be a MUCH better example (at the risk of sounding cliche, but it's true). In reference to Nina Simone's comment on Lennon's lyrics to "Revolution", the controversy seems to rest with the phrase "count me out" followed by "in" (on the single). Having come to learn of Lennon's stance on war AND peace based on subsequent expression of his thoughts on the matter, it always seemed "count me out" meant not wanting to be an accessory to, or contribute in any way to, the destructive/counter-productive policies of the governing bodies at that time, in the push to escalate the military offensive in Indochina. At the same time, Lennon sang "but if you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao / you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow", which can be interpreted as a denunciation of the oppressive aspects of institutionalized socialism. Perhaps Nina Simone was a communist and objected to this negative portrayal, can't be sure. A warmonger Lennon was NOT. A "controversymonger" is certainly more likely, as evidenced by the direction in which these posts are going. "The White Album" is not so much a cohesive album of songs as it is a jumbled "collage" of contrasting ideas from the band's four members, their state of mind at the time and the subsequent slide toward dissolution. That's what makes the album interesting and makes it stand very much apart from everything else that was going on in the realm of pop music in the late Sixties, including the Rolling Stones (who were very good at what they were doing at the time, with the exception of the monkey-see-monkey-do "Satanic Majesties Request" from the previous year).

  • Also, the COUNT ME OUT lyric referred to what Lennon saw as the negative flipside of the desired revolution so many were striving for during that time. Militancy and organized violent action towards the establishment was not the answer and only assisted in perpetuating the problem. Incidentally, Marvin Gaye sang about this kind of thing a few years later when he recorded "What's Going On", about war being counterproductive (unless, of course, you stand to benefit financially from it) and not needing to escalate the hostility and too many brother-brother-brothers dying, referring to the war at home and the crisis of conscience which had befallen every cultural group in the vast American landscape by then. The best line, and the most important heart-of-the-matter sentiment in trying to get out of the collective mess::: TALK TO ME, so you can see, what's going on. That's hard to do when the issue gets away from people and becomes bureaucratized and politicized, both human relations AND war as an issue. Government and/or counter-establishment aggression is not the answer to the problem. Public dialogue is (count me IN). That's partly what rests at the heart of Lennon's idea in "Revolution".

Wow, You truly ARE tone-deaf, Mark, or at least terminally caucasian (the ideal Beatles fan). True, Sympathy is not a shambling, going- through-the-motions blues number like 'Revolution,' with its incredibly clever rhyme of social commentary of 'chairman Mao/make it with anyone anyhow,' but it tries(snicker).

  • Mew-Zick, you make some salient points about Lennon's thinking in writing Revolution, but since the man did vote conservative that year to protect his money, his faith in bureaucracies must have been the source of his half-heartedness of combatting the right-wing takeover of American and English govt. Give Peace A Chance a year later is a touching sentiment, but it means little when Nixon and his cronies have already taken over. I think the time is right for violent revolution, and it would have perhaps spared us another half-decade of the Vietnam nightmare.

  • For tone deafness ,have a listen to Mick Jaggers singing on the aforementioned and over-long track. For someone to believe that is more listenable than tracks such as Dear Prudence and While My Guitar ...unmasks the identity of the real tone deaf person in here. Terminally Negroid fans counterbalance the worldwide and absolute support and admiration of the Beatles White Album,the world over,although not many know the meaning of the word 'snicker'

  • The nuances of Dear Prudence and While My Guitar are too subtle for less intelligent brains and stem from a collective who never were in the soul genre at any given point,so that's a dead duck already. Energy doesn't equal quality as many Negros and Caucasians are well aware of,even the ones that we have never met.

  • There ARE no incredibly intelligent nuances to study in either Prudence or Weeps - they are slow, cyclical, bored-to-tears songs from doped-up, pampered composers too complacent to explore anything beyond their belly-buttons (perfect music for cloistered undergrads). Sympathy is energy + powerful, socially relevant lyrics speaking about what's happening in the streets NOW. It and similar-period Stones songs only gain in meaning every decade, while the Beatles end up looking like overproduced, out-of-touch artifacts for nostalgic yuppies.

  • Sympathy reflected what was happening at the time in 1968 and in 68 only,hence an incredibly dated feel to that unmelodic tosh. Dear Prudence and While My Guitar have no appeal to those who mistakenly assume that speed and energy equate to quality and listenability and that's to say nothing of the songwriting geniuses behind the songs...not bad songwriting for a supposedly doped up and introspective group. Decade by decade the relevance and classic reverence with which the Beatles are held, speeds away even further away from the Stones in terms of longevity and exultance.

Revered by lobotomy patients, I guess. Good thing you've never heard of the war in Iraq, which songs like Sympathy and Gimme Shelter sum up perfectly. You go ahead and just keep holding the airy-fairy, dusty Beatles in 'classic reverence,' while the Stones continue to express the realities of human existence.

Copy everything, copy Steve's 3rd person dialogue format, try desperately to copy his style, except I'm sure to leave out that extra ingredient of anything of interest to say since I wouldn't actually know wit if it hit me in the face. Wait a minute, here comes the M1 bus. What, somebody left that Lennon Farting album in the road in front of it? Ooh, I must, must have it!!! I guess we're about to put that theory to the test...'

Just start free-associating about my crack-addict, stroke-addled mum and the little cat-scratching games we played when I was a boy (I know,'hello therapy!')and it gets turned into this nervous rant that I hope sounds something like Steve's style but really just represents my rapidly-collapsing psyche.

Unfortunately, the obsession with testicles from his early psycho-sexual relationship with his mum remains strongly present.

  • No joy in the infinitesimal case of the one-bollocked,waste of skin and bones known as Steve 'the tit' Conn.His thoughtless ramblings continue without foresight,witt and charm.This appears to stem from being traumatised by the somewhat unorthodox circumcision he endured as a 2 year old Jew when his senile old ma performed the operation with the aid of a magnifying glass and her teeth.'Old habits die hard...but it was fun in that Concentration Camp',she said at the time,before swallowing her terminally-ugly son's foreskin.Doctors believe that one testicle was lost as a result of one of my kick-in's received by Steve 'mogadon-alternative' Conn by one of the victims of his constant paedophiliac exploits.

Patient Mark's incoherent ravings- alluding to concentration camps, Chaplin, latent issues with his penis, old mum again, and whatever else happens to float through his deranged mind- at least provide the doctors here some mild amusement, like thumbing through a failed imitation of Joyce. This trait combined with his monkey hat and crashing cymbals might earn the institute some profit by having him perform at local carnivals. Proceed with plan under supervised sedation.

There, our new psychotropic drugs will allow them to see non-existent images from 1964-'68, like the Stones wearing matching suits, singing sterile pop in choirboy harmonies, and being glued to one spot onstage, just like the Beatles. Note: we also commenced banging a crowbar against the bars of the cage, since the noise sums up the aesthetic thought behind the song(?) Helter Skelter. A bold new direction for our patients.

  • From www.billdeyoung.com. 1993. Goldmine: With regard to the White Album, you've said that you tried to get them to cut it down to a single–disc, 14–track album. What would you have cut out? George Martin: That's a good question, because it's now such an accepted album. Everyone thinks it's terrific. A lot of people say it's their favorite album. Don't forget, I was looking at it from the point of view of the songs when I heard them, rather than the songs when they were finished. I said to myself, "Let's pick the best and most commercial songs, and let's work on those. Let's forget the other ones for the moment." I'm not saying we wouldn't have recorded those other songs, but I would like to have made a really great album out of the best of the stuff there, and concentrated and work very hard on them. But they wanted everything done at once. I thought they were dissipating their energies rather than focusing them. That was my concern. There are one or two items of dross on the White Album. Goldmine: Such as? George Martin: I haven't got the list in front of me. You'll have to read them off. Was "Bungalow Bill" on that? "Honey Pie?" Goldmine: Yes, and "Wild Honey Pie," "Revolution 9," "Birthday." George Martin: "Birthday." Well, there you go. You're picking them for me! There are songs that are not at the front rank, put it that way. From other groups they probably would be front rank, but these are my boys, they're the greatest in the world, and that's the way I saw it.

  • This album, the Beatles' "White Album", finds the Beatles TRYING to get back to their hardcore roots before Beatlemania, but to the new level. Hard rock was coming in because of louder amplifiers that year and more effects pedals, out of the psychedelic period. If you ever heard the Beatles' 1962 Hamburg audience recordings of their live shows then, you know how heavy they often played. Their true coolness was coming through again in 1968, out of the haze of psychedelia. Another endless side coming through. Lennon wanted it heavy and a return to real rock roots and actually went off and did more of that solo. They all seemed to musically spiral off in their directions from here.

  • Besides, circa '68, the Beatles were Queen-approved society entertainers, just back from musing on life in India, ready to record another album, while the Stones, embarking on their own album, were reeling from busts, trials, Brian Jones' disintegration, and the English law trying to wipe out their rebellious influence for good, so the argument that being a Stones fan was more rebellious than being a Beatles one in the context of the times makes perfect sense.

  • I would venture to say that the Beatles are still a more dangerous band. They spearheaded a legalization of marijuana initiative the year earlier by taking a two-page spread ad out in the middle of a popular London newspaper. It was signed not only by them but many others. This as usual cut through all layers of society. Their claims back then still ring true today. Check it. Not long after going after the Stones the same cop went after the Beatles and got two of them. They were the first band that got banned songs from the radio for drug references. They're still right. This album came out after they revealed the truth! A lot of people from the time didn't get it for years and probably still can't grasp it. But we can look back and see all of it as a whole and see it as it really is, which is really really really cool. Forever.

  • The Beatles only put their names on such ads after the Stones became targets and it looked like their own days as the loveable moppets for the whole family were numbered anyway. The Stones were given a court fine for the garage pissing incident in '65 while the Beatles were receiving MBES; Let's Spend The Night Together was banned for sex references in early '67, months before Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds for drug references; and the main members of the Stones were on trial for possible serious time in '67, while Sgt. Pilchard was just doing some minor harassing of Lennon and Harrison two years later- hardly in the same league. It adds up to the Stones being the central scapegoats for sixties counterculture, perhaps adding to their endurance to carry on, while the largely pampered Beatles circled their navels until all that was left was studio gimmickry and smoke and mirrors.

  • Now silly Steve's trying his tired old self-denial trick, which even his playground chums can see through. Call in the child-psychiatrist for him, now.

  • Offered : Dildo called Steve Conn. Acts like a total dickhead. Worthless.

  • Yes, Gavin the parrot has a problem with expletives, but as you've noticed above will do its best to mimic you. Quite a bargain for such a tattered, feces-strewn bird.

  • Still no offers for the Steve Conn Dildo: the biggest penis to give no pleasure whatsoever.

  • Okay, so parrot Gavin occasionally adds odd homosexual come-ons to his patter, but he's still a bargain! Doesn't anybody want him? ANYBODY??

  • Underwhelmed with offers for the Steve Conn dildo: ladies you've never seen such a total cock in your life! Surprisingly, never been used!

  • Yes, little Gavin may occasionally bark about your sexual organs as he tries to mimic you. For a parrot, he has deep-seated psychological issues, but on the upside you only have to clean his cage three times a week! C'mon, folks, five cents and he's yours!!

  • The Steve Conn dildo....bit hard to avoid sexual connotations when dealing with marital aids. Psychiatric Steve swears by it and endorses it as such...accounts for the fact that bids for it have numbered less than one!

  • Yup, rambles a bit nonsensically, doesn't he? We might enter him in the state fair, though (after all, how many parrots do YOU know that can say "connotations?").

  • Please remember, folks, that for this seemingly unshiftable Steve Conn Dildo, it comes complete with detatchable foreskin for that authentic 'Ugly Conn' look.

  • Okay, so Gavin the parrot may make sad homosexual advances on his owner with his dildo fixation, but at a price of free how can you ignore this bargain??

  • OK I admit it.The Steve Conn dildo suffers from a slight imperfection: it possesses but a single testicle. Steve doesn't want to talk about it. Nonetheless, still a Christmas gift for someone.

  • Special trick of Gavin's: Will repeat what you say (in a less humorous way, of course) for a cracker, provided you can wrest his special testicle toy from his beak. Pederast homosexual parrots are quite a find, folks. Take him off my hands today!

  • This Steve Conn Dildo is proving hard to shift. Can be used by gays, lesbians and transvestites: ths single testicle being a legacy of the shady past of Steve Cock's err...'40'.s family History

  • Warning: Parrot Gavin may ramble on about his sordid past with gays, lesbians, and transvestites, using his old master's name to give his feeble little brain some context. You may prefer a pet with a less disturbing history of sodomy, but remember the key words, folks: FREE!!!!!!

  • Listen folks, this Steve Cock Dildo, DOES provide more pleasure than the paltry,pathetic yappings of the moronic teenager on whom it's modelled, namely Steve Conn. OK, such a yardstick doesn't amount to much, but it sure does win the comparison test

  • Yes, customer, upon ownership you DO get a set of earplugs to dampen Gavin's head-scratching blather. Now will you take him? What, you have a strange dildo obsession too? Why, you're a match made in Heaven!

  • OK Guys and Gals. This Steve Conn Dildo is proving to be about as popular as a pork chop in a Kibbutz. I'll tell you what I'll do: I'll discard the packaging, which portrays a picture of Steve Conn's filmstar features (don't laugh!): by all accounts it's been something of a major deterrent, upon viewing.

  • Okay, Gavin the Parrot comes with a free set of steak knives and a lamp, but that's my final offer! So what if he's developed a strange relationship with the dildo he demands be shoved in his little parrot anus; he has the ability to copy his owner and extemporize in weird ways, as his above non-sequitors have shown. That must be worth something, right?

  • Hmm. Seeing as this Steve Conn dildo has about as much attraction as Steve Conn's physiognomy, and rueing the fact that it's another 10 months to Hallowe'en, I can add a nice plump goose to the bargain. Either cook the bird on Christmas Day or let it live and be entertained by it's Goose-steps.

  • Well folks, if you don't fancy having a Goose stepping around your kitchen at Christmas, I can always replace the Goose with a rooster.Alongside the Steve Conn dildo, you'll be getting two cocks for the price of one.

  • Yes, yes, what the perverted little Gavin parrot is saying is true - he likes two members rammed in his little parrot anus at once. Okay, if you won't buy him, will you at least euthanize him for me?

  • Oh well, the Steve Conn dildo won't be gracing anyone's Christmas tree this year: not surprising when you see his repulsive face on the box. Happily the Goose has been taken and will be goose-stepping around a happy recipient's kitchen come the big day

  • It's true, Gavin the Parrot likes having sex with a goose in his owner's kitchen, too. But look how overjoyed he is about it! How can you denied the perverted, misbegotten little creature its fun?

  • The much derided Steve Conn dildo failed to go to a welcome home, even after removing Steve Conn's repellant physiognomy from the packaging. However, the Goose happily stepped/marched around someone's kitchen, before ending up being roasted in the gas oven.

  • Did I forget to mention Gavin likes to fornicate with the goose even after it's been cooked? Too disturbing for you? Okay, I'll include a fifty dollar bill to anyone who takes him. Okay, a hundred! Okay, two hundred (C'mon, people, SOMEBODY TAKE HIM!!!)!!

  • WOW!!! i dont think ive ever come across such a stench of self loving in my life! Im all for discussion on music and the wonderful variety of it available to all, but these 'steve' characters are amazing! How you can interpret a comment about an album/song into a comment about yourselves is egomania that i will be devastated to come across again in my life! No doubt you will respond to this with some offensive post that you think is hilarious, when really i think you should learn to keep quiet! Post your opinion and move on!! It's easy if you try!
