Now, I said I wasn't into The Beatles either. However, I'm not into much if any 60s or 70s popular music. My non-film score interests tend to be more 80s and 90s, a bit of 00s and 10s (think Sting, Elastica, Gorillaz, ACSS, Keane, Katie Melua, Evanescence, etc). For some reason I just never 'got' the 'classic' decades (50s to 70s)

Clearly, Josh, your wide-ranging and far flung interests reflect the truth of my favorite Duke Ellington remark, which I've quoted often on this Board, to wit: "There's only two kinds of music -- the good kind, and the other kind."
Thanks for the link to CAN. This track sounds interesting, but I can't truly do it justice at the moment, for the simple reason that my Macbook Air is on the fritz, without earphone capacity, so I can only hear music in very indistinct, low-volume mono. But at least we can say that you've exposed me to CAN, which I'd never heard of before, and I'll hope to be able soon to give them a proper listen. (Nuts_score's enthusiasm only adds to my curiosity about the group.)

You pretty much had to be there... I know that isn't always a requirement, but music is for many of us a reflection of a culture, a time and place; to not have lived in them, and experienced the music as a part of them, I think makes it difficult to really appreciate the music for what it was and where it came from. Not artfully expressed, but hopefully this gets close to what "being a Beatles (or Doors, or whatever) fan" was all about.

You're right, of course, Dana, as far as it goes. But any music that stands the test of time -- as the Beatles' stuff so far seems to be doing -- will have a quality that future generations can appreciate, on one wavelength or another. None of us were around to hear the original troubadour singing his brand new tune, "Greensleeves," but many of us are none the less moved by its beauty.

Dear JIM CLEVELAND --
Of course, it's no "Greensleeves," but I'd still be interested to know what you find so unlistenable about "Michelle."
Thnx,
PJ

Jenkwombat, you can't know how happy I was to read that your young viewer laughed at the "clean" jokes. While I was enjoying the TCM broadcast, I found myself wistfully wondering if future generations would simply be puzzled by all those in-joking references to an Ed Sullivan Show that they never will have seen. To know that the jokes are funny even on their own without any cultural context is a testament to a wonderful movie. (One with a lot of good music in it, BTW.)

I just now understood the joke in this thread title.
