If it weren't for Norman, I would never have heard of this band. Very good band, very droll.
Very topical cut right now. Big anniversary coming up next month, FIFTY YEARS! "President's bullet ridden body in the street, ride Johnny ride!" But that's another song (story).
For me, the very interesting thing at this point is how big a part the Beatles played in helping us overcome our grief after Kennedy got zotzed. The first time I heard of the Beatles: September 1963 in the New York Times Sunday magazine. November, the man gets it in the head. January, Beatlemania saves America. Happiness returns. Amazing, the uses of death.
