I thought Sadie was the Maharishi...?

Yes.

But I think Manson interepreted the songs differently. Like they' d be written specifically for him.

[The Nal]

EDIT: sorry, dates are wrong. The Manson murders were in 1969, a year after the White Album. Regardless, it still couldn't have been her Lennon was referring to.

Manson called her Sadie Mae Glutz or Sexy Sadie after the song.

I see - that makes sense!

Still, she was an evil twisted bitch. That photo scares the bejesus out of me.

[sifi]

I've never been, but I think I can grasp hold of the concept

not sure what your point is

A lot of people have no possessions over there. He would have seen it. So it's not difficult to imagine.

Very nice words, though, don't get me wrong.

Imagine no possessions, but don't be file sharing my tunes you thieving gits...

OK I may have stretched that one a little...

[sifi]

...

I thought we were talking about how others (like Peevis) might interpret the song, not whether the writer 'understood' it

I would like to guess how Peevis interprets anything. That would be like Starling trying to unravel the workings of Lector's brain in Silence of the Lambs. I mean, he's already going on about file sharing.

Indeed. I like the Lennon baby crying bit though. But very self indulgent yeah.

Macca claims he started all that tape looping stuff. He used to get a reel of tape, cut it into little bits, throw it in the air to mix it up and the randomly put it back together. Dunno if I believe him.

He also invented sneezing he says.

Perhaps but it wasn't taken too seriously, it was more about the idea i.e sneaking Avant garde music onto an album that so many people would here. It was a pretty cool thing to do.

[Cardboard Box City]

Yeah, but then John Lennon said it was really him and then millions fell over themselves to say that John was responsible for all the good sneezing

Possibly... but if someone doing something unusual upsets you, you'll not learn much Sunshine. it's not meant to make you feel like Yellow Submarine you know. It's a provocative peice, so that close minded twats can feel upset and the intellectual can feel superior!

how many rhetorical questions must Bob Dylan ask, before you can call him a c**t?

I prefer the news that Bob Dylan has a perfect lawn. When asked his secret to having a perfect lawn, Dylan repsonded "The answer my friend, is mowing in the wind, the answer is mowing in the wind".

thanks for the swift reply!

It wasn't easy!

It wasn't easy!

but you still failed by including octopuses' garden

[Cardboard Box City]

It wasn't easy!

Well, as Ringo () said:

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,

And you know it don't come easy.

You don't have to shout or leap about,

You can even play them easy.

Forget about the past and all your sorrows,

The future won't last,

It will soon be over tomorrow.

I don't ask for much, i only want your trust,

And you know it don't come easy.

And this love of mine keeps growing all the time,

And you know it just ain't easy.

Open up your heart, let's come together,

Use a little love

And we will make it work out better.

[Kowalski]

but you still failed by including octopuses' garden

A great tune!

[ampersand]

A great tune!
