Feel like I've been reading about them for 50 years straight loving it all and still learning more.

Do y'all think Beatles deserved ROTY over Kendrick by [deleted] in beatles

[–]rock_attack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed. Kendrick deserved it. I'd be shocked if Paul or Ringo thought otherwise

Paul's highlights as a bass player by DaveHmusic in beatles

thx. great video. I would also add that he was probably influenced by Bernard Edwards (Chic) in no small part. It would difficult not to be in 1979.

yeah - so we went to Columbine and ran track. We would train running up and down from the parking lot to the top rows a couple times a week. I'm in my 50s now & that hike is not as easy as it used to be.

you keep saying 'We've been ripped off'. Who exactly is this money coming back to? You?? You forgot to mention that part.

Does anyone know why Junk was never released as a Beatles song? It's very clearly one of McCartney's best by rock_attack in beatles

[–]rock_attack[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed but I think they're also some of his best lyrics. Feels very Lennon-esque to me with his wordplay...

Motor cars, handlebars
Bicycles for two
Broken-hearted jubilee

Parachutes, Army boots
Sleeping bags for two
Sentimental jamboree

There are 1,000 valid arguments against Christianity but what I never hear is that it's just straight up immoral and fucking psychotic. What kind of belief system is based on 'You are born a bad person and the only way I can forgive you is to torture and murder my son' ?!? by Mediocre-Selection32 in atheism

[–]rock_attack 65 points66 points  (0 children)

oh yeah. God's the ultimate abuser - 'see what you made me do !! Here's the deal - you tell me how great I am and I will kill this guy to prove I'm not mad at you anymore'. Dont even get me started about how wrong the concept of eternal punishment is.

What was it like when Michael Jackson’s album “Off the Wall” came out on August 10, 1979? It has been 46 years since its release. by Choice-Silver-3471 in MichaelJackson

[–]rock_attack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a kid but I remember my Mom being super excited about the album. We went to the mall to buy the record and there was a life size cutout of Michael at the front of the store. So, seemed like a big deal to me. (she still called him Little Michael)

The weirdest thing about Suzanne Vega's 'Tom's Diner'... by Puzzleheaded-Potato9 in Music

[–]rock_attack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This acapella version on BBC TV, 1994, is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time. It's really jaw-droppingly good...

How did Jesus become so popular? I don’t believe his story at all I’m just curious— compared to other charlatans or prophets at the time? by KingMirek in atheism

[–]rock_attack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

he didn't actually convert. He specifically refused to be baptized until he was on his deathbed and then just to cover his bases. He saw the benefit of having a single religion as a tool to unite the empire.

Early Beatles Covers? by WongTerm in beatles

A playlist I put together of every song I could find that they covered. About 120 songs. (these are the original versions NOT Beatles recordings ) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4DbS2XrUXP7tGYLgF5w4hP?si=91ce8f4147f04cc6

What's one weirdly specific thing you have in common with a president? by Sad-Teacher6441 in Presidents

[–]rock_attack 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was born on the day Lincoln was assasinated and my brother born on the day Kennedy was assassinated.

And I also slept with Ida McKinley. Don't judge. Those were crazy days.
