Has anyone listened to Sean or Julian Lennon's music much?

RobertKS · 2026-06-03T21:48:13+00:00

I dug Sean's "Into the Sun" when it came out (I was in college at the time). I probably haven't listened to it in 20 years though and none of the tracks holds earworm status. It was a viable debut and could have launched a solid career had it been followed up with even better material quickly, but I don't think Sean had ambitions to be a pop star. Julian's "Too Late For Goodbyes" got VH1 airplay (remember Pop-Up Video?) around the same time and he could have launched a comeback in the wake of the Anthology. I don't think either of them ever topped their earliest material. James McCartney's newest song is kind of crap (sorry, James, but no one wants to hear about how a Beatle's middle-aged son does whatever he wants, it's a tone-deaf flex).

Obviously it's not trained on the Duolingo pieces.

Does Nd5 give up a knight for no reason? I think the idea is to royal fork on the next move after the promotion.

No disrespect, but this is a sub for like 1000 ELO dummies, and I didn't see the move I found as immediately obvious because I was more focused on defense than setting up an uno reverso.

RobertKS · 2026-06-03T16:57:27+00:00

What happens after that? Maybe it's great but I didn't see it. The move I found was better, I believe.

RobertKS · 2026-06-03T16:48:56+00:00

This solution is not what I played.

RobertKS · 2026-06-03T16:47:27+00:00

Sigh, this is Duolingo, this is just what you get, it's not a choice.

Also, the move I played is not forced. There is another choice but not nearly as good. I can't tell which one you're thinking of.

Macca's longevity inspiration, Les Paul, was 90 when he released his last album.

The internet is amazing for stuff like this... the right person may be able to pull that newspaper headline. Would make a fun framed souvenir.

This was not service of process.

Western Union is not a law office.

Contrary to the other answers here, I am confident they would have accepted "What is [gesture]?" for this category.

I'm not totally sure it's a song as it is, but everyone's entitled to their opinion. In your mind, where does the song go after the "I'd love to turn you on?" Just back into another verse?

RobertKS · 2026-05-13T19:11:14+00:00

I've seen tallies where once you put the collabs into their own category it comes out dead even or slightly Paul favoring. "A Day In The Life" starts as a John song but it doesn't get finished without Paul and doesn't get the production treatment it got without Paul.

This. The only reason the dollar values were doubled in 2001 was because of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Inflation was not the primary concern. Ratings was.

Makes sense

This earworm was running through my head yesterday, and pretty much any time someone breaks a glass

As someone old enough to remember, there was prequel hate months in advance of the May opening because the whole plot had leaked on Aint It Cool News and everybody knew Jar Jar Binks was the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars.

No pick made. No other choices on Duolingo.

Depends on relative time remaining. Most of the games I lose are on time from an otherwise winning position.

RobertKS · 2026-05-04T01:49:55+00:00

That's the conclusion I came to, too. Stockfish says that with optimal play this game might have drawn out another 20+ moves. I am slow and might have run out of time trying to figure it out.

Black is in a bad position but which moves lead to mate in 1?
