wilcoheaven Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 the beatles were all about love. bush/conservatives are mainly about hate and fear and war. the author should have searched long and hard to find a pro-war song in the beatles catalog. he'd still be searching.Well said! Maybe the author should also watch the movie Across The Universe. Entirely Beatles music. Not in any way shape or form pro-war, or conservative!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That's one of my favorite Elvis tunes. agreed... I just love the way he goes "ba-bu-ba-bu-baBY..." in the intro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yessss. Man, not enough Elvis threads in this place - makes we wanna ask everyone their favs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That movie was just awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikol Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 bush/conservatives are mainly about hate and fear and war. Is that so? I'm glad you set me straight on what I'm about, though I'm not so sure I agree with your lumping of Bush and conservatives together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The issue of Taxman can easily be claimed by conservatives as their issue a song written for them. But in reality the sentiments of Taxman are more populist in nature than they are conservative.The British tax laws were pretty rough back then, and George had not yet gotten Krishna.

Holy shit. That movie was just awful. Well, it certainly lacked substance. You really go to watch what is going on the screen and hear the not legit Beatles tracks. And, worst comes to worst, it's someone's interpretation of the Beatles. John said that their music is what the people make of it, so you can't fault the director for that. Apparently it's a hot movie with girls thanks to that lead guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
