I'm A Loser

Unread postby PenultimateManStanding » Sat 10 Jun 2006, 22:55:45

I see kids who wear Beatle T-shirts. Those guys defined modern music for my generation. Many still love what they did. I feel sad for Sir Paul and how he was scammed. But let's give credit where it is due, John Lennon was the Beatles. And the Beatles were threatened with has-been status by Bob Dylan. So what did they do? They cranked it up and got even better. I'm A loser was a direct response by Lennon to Dylan. Truth finds a way into the bullshit and posing. An interesting study of how art intrudes into life.

Paul McCartney is a Billionaire. So is Bill Gates. Do we imagine that these people don't suffer too? Humans were born to suffer. The most engenious scheme to evade sufferings falls apart. There's only one thing to do, hide it. Specially your own.

Nature of Man I'll admit but I still wouldn't mind the idea of never having to worry about hunger, thirst, shelter during my life.
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God
