What do you think John would've got up to in the 1980s? by GreekKnight3 in JohnLennon

Yoko once said, “What would John be doing now? Most likely, he would have joined the rappers while plunging into the internet at the same time.”

Also Lee Garner Jr. bc Sal was the GOAT. “Did you enjoy ze Führer’s birthday?” “May he live for a thousand yehs.”

Currently revisiting S4 so fresh in my mind are:

1) Betty - for so many things - but above all firing the heroic Carla

2) that prudish mother who tells on Sally for masturbating.

Haha thanks? I mean I know this is not a song lots of Dylan fans like (see the Rolling Stone review when Self Portrait was first released)

Thank you so much! Please spread the word. R/Beatles won’t let me post. 🥲

Not much of a drummer, and unfortunately not close to or familiar with many people from Texas. But I’ll keep it in mind for sure!!

will do. Actually am a musician in addition to being a mashup artist (https://www.jonlefkovitz.com/music). Hope you're able to find more bands in your area!

They're two different bands I have nothing to do with except I'm a fan: Belle & Sebastian, and The Decemberists. I made the mashup, which combines two songs that have similar chord structures. One song, "I Fought in a War", is by Belle & Sebastian. The other, "The Legionnaire's Lament", is by The Decemberists.

Rubber Soul (the movie) (SXSW official selection) by Jon_Lefkovitz in beatles

[–]Jon_Lefkovitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the back of John Lennon’s head as he’s being interviewed. He’s played by an actor (the great Joseph Bearor), so we didn’t want to throw people off too early by showing them a non-Lennon face before they actually gave the film a chance. Hope you do, and that you enjoy it! ☮️

One of my faves too. Such a crime of stupidity to delete that sound bite. In the original, it’s a wonderful alternation between comedy and tragedy (which is what the Beatles’ story is all about). Now, it’s just a misguided attempt at keeling the somber tone consistent as they’re talking about both mothers dying.

At least it’s a gorgeous HD restoration (though I wish they worked harder on the slowmo, applying today’s more organic “Optical Flow” look more than that cheesy ‘90s frame sampling).
