classic clip LMD
thanks for the share

once again reminds me of Lennon's quote
if they were to rename rock n roll, they would just call it Chuck Berry

Revolution #9 was inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen's remarkable composition Hymnen. It was available in 1969...The Beatles were interested in experimental music obviously. I liked the track , it opened up a whole new genre for me...avant garde experimental music!

^ If you were responsible for breaking up The Beatles and their only bad track, Revolution No. 9, you would would think nothing of behaving like a numbskull in the presence of the first lead guitarist in rock 'n' roll. I had to laugh at the YT comments below that clip though.

I haven't heard Revolution No. 9 for a while, but I remember it being randomly cut-and-spliced tape of Ringo Starr's spoken voice. Wiki do not mention Ringo (or McCartney), so I could be wrong about the owner of the voice.

Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da is a great track, although (the excellent) Marmalade took it into the charts here. I always like Birthday, but it is much criticised on the web.

Of course it is; what it's not is acceptable music--a very different thing indeed. Karlheinz Stockhausen was mentioned but there's this whole movement in music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musique_concr%C3%A8te << Frankly I think all this shtuff is enough to gag a maggot but I don't deny that it's music...Maybe somewhere, sometime somebody can pluck themes and elements from this to produce what we can more readily grasp. It took jazz 15+ years to come to terms with hip-hop but now that it has, some significant stuff is being made. The early modal jazz players had a tough time finding a gig or anybody who would even give a good listen. The most horrific man who ever lived's corpse might have provided a viable organ or two for a needful good person.
I am not saying anybody here is close-minded--the key word is accessible and that varies radically * with each of us.

*"radical" in the root sense--"That which is at the core-fiber of being"
