Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The early years of The Beatles with the first wave of their British Invasion sound was very upbeat for sure. Later on they did some weird stuff like Revolution 9. I'd never heard that before, but my daughter likes to find weird, creepy stuff sometimes on YouTube and she shared that one with me. Bizarre. I'm not keen on their later stuff. For this new song, this was a song that Lennon had recorded himself on tape before he died. The remaining 3 tried to do something with it in the '90s, but they didn't have the technology to clean it up and have it sound good. Peter Jackson's new technology is able to surgically remove the piano from his voice, remove the tape hiss, sharpen his voice, and make it sound like a modern recording. It's his voice, but by miracle of musical dissection, it's restored.
I read "The Outsiders" in junior high and learned of the whole Beatles/Elvis rivalry among fans. Funny how The Beatles did a cover song or two of Elvis songs starting with their second album.
I don't think I replied to your comment if I did apologizes for my double reply.
I beat that was a great read. I'll have to check it out. Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving.
No double reply. "The Outsiders" was an assigned reading for my English class. I did have a great Thanksgiving yesterday (it's Friday here already). Thanks! You too.
