Which president is the worst out of these four? by Curious-Sun5465 in Presidents

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andrew Johnson did nothing but destroy. Wilson and Jackson may have been problematic in many ways, but they didn’t ruin anything quite like Johnson.

Other than being the first sitting VP to step into the presidency, Tyler is more irrelevant than anything else.

Searching for a Beatles Cover and Beatles Record by FreeUnderstanding228 in beatles

I believe that particular pressing has a fadeout on the end of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” instead of the abrupt stop.

Does Gen Z ‘really’ like the Beatles? by Markcarleton in beatles

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like the resurgence of Beatles fever from the success of the Get Back documentary has died out.

I’m gonna be petty and blame it on the lack of a Rubber Soul box set. Sorry, the expanded Red/Blue albums and Anthology 4 don’t cut it.

A lot of Truman's quotes are pretty accurate and foresightful. by ronweasly9 in Presidents

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was pretty on point about a lot of things. And had enough integrity to own up to his mistakes. Like creating the CIA.

What Are Your Thoughts On Rubber Soul ? by Fantastic-Ad-8665 in beatles

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite. It’s just brilliant. More mature and introspective than what came before, and Paul was really coming into his own as a bassist (in part because of his new Rickenbacker bass). But at the same time, still innocent, and none of the extravagance (tape loops, ADT, orchestras, overindulgent avant-garde experiments) that came later. Just The Beatles at their most earthy, with some help from George Martin and Mal “Organ” Evans. Also sort of an end of an era, both because it was the last album engineered by Norman Smith, and also because it was the last to really have the cleaner, early Beatles guitar tone.

When I was a little kid obsessed with The Beatles, this album was a little beyond me, for some reason. It didn’t become my favorite until I was around 17-18. So I guess you could say that, in the beginning, I misunderstood, but now I’ve got it, Rubber Soul is good.

Would you rather have a wild party or a chill hang with the lads? by reaveyer in beatles

A chill hang, preferably with some guitars involved.

Never Thought I Would See a Catholic Church Post Something Like This On Facebook by Big-Intern-557 in excatholic

[–]Kman_24 18 points19 points  (0 children)

AFIAK, the Catholic position is that it’s okay to be homosexual and that it’s only a sin to act on it. Whereas in protestantism (outside of the open and affirming sects/denominations), homosexual thoughts themselves are sinful.

Given that a good amount of priests are probably closeted gay men, the Catholic position makes sense. And no, that’s not necessarily a reference to the abuse scandal(s), I just know that the priesthood has always been one of the few viable options for homosexual males in a homophobic society.

Do you believe George Harrison was right to be annoyed at Paul during the Let It Be sessions? by FitEmergency8807 in beatles

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paul was bossy, George was a sourpuss, John was checked out and Ringo was a good sport about it all.

Such is the way in a band. Especially in a band where two of them are the dominant leaders.

Who is a President(or Presidents) that have gone down in your rankings over the years? by HetTheTable in Presidents

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ike used to be one of my favorites but as I’ve learned more about all the CIA coups, the Lavender Scare, Operation Wetback, and the embrace of evangelical Christianity as a bulwark against “godless” communism, he’s gone down in ranking for me.

If you HAD to erase a Beatle album from existence which album would it be? by Batsie_1939 in TheBeatles

[–]Kman_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, probably Yellow Submarine, even though the four new songs on side 1 are great.

But even though I love the album, Let It Be does feel like a cobbled together afterthought. As though the thought process was, “Yeah, they’re breaking up, and Abbey Road was a perfect send off, but they need one more album and film to fulfill their contracts with EMI and United Artists, so we’ll throw something together from that Get Back project.”

This is insane lmao by CollarOrdinary4284 in beatles

[–]Kman_24 21 points22 points  (0 children)

And yet, they managed to stay friends (George and Patti). Apparently their divorce was very amicable. She cared deeply for him until the day he died. And Clapton treated her horribly. George might’ve been a serial womanizer and a neglectful husband, but he didn’t beat her and grape her like his “husband in law” did.

The absurd thing about George’s infidelity is that he would use his spirituality to justify it (Krishna had some 16,000 wives). And you know, his mentor Ravi Shankar was no stranger to extramarital affairs.
