They provided the excellent raw material, of course, but he knew what to do with it to make it outstanding.

So, maybe the Beatles havdome other mystical link to classical. Hmm - I could speculate, but that'd be in the realms of fantasy. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-23497726733826507612017-08-15T18:59:27.583-05:002017-08-15T18:59:27.583-05:00Years ago, I would have the local classical radio ...Years ago, I would have the local classical radio station playing quietly at my bedside to help me get to sleep. One evening, as I was in that dozing state about to slip into full sleep, I thought I heard something Beatles. I came back awake to hear what song was being covered. It was not Beatles, it was Beethoven (I can't remember which).<br />I believe as you suggest, they share DNA.Kaleymorrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-61752607266165190122017-08-15T00:05:43.723-05:002017-08-15T00:05:43.723-05:00B.

We saw "Up", some years ago - couldn't remember the opening but YouTube has it, and yes - it's so touching and ought to have been memorable enough for me not to have had to look it up! We see so many movies via Netflix now, memory bank soon fills to overflowing. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy "Sing" if you do get to see it. My ear worm is still with me - full memory bank or not! :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-56743810426010816202017-08-14T19:37:47.787-05:002017-08-14T19:37:47.787-05:00Thank you for the movie recommendation.

There are a lot of hard working storytellers out there and animation can broaden their capacity to tell a good tale. I point to the first few minutes of UP. Those tender moments can stand on their own. Good luck with the ear worm.

I used to think The Beach Boys were better than The Beatles too - but really, at heart, I was always a Neil Diamond girl. Not the "coolest" - as was considered back then - but his songs can stand up against - and sometimes beat, any other songwriter of that era ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13746804368614728102017-08-14T01:23:13.238-05:002017-08-14T01:23:13.238-05:00The Beatles were pretty darned good but, for my mo...The Beatles were pretty darned good but, for my money, The Kinks were better.
