Six Nations really in the mix going into the final weekend. As wonderful and unpredictable as ever. What a tournament!

Agree. BTTE is extremely underrated!
Caught up with βMan on the run.β Nothing new in it but I liked it. Reminds us of how unfashionable he was post Beatles but, for all that, they worked. We should be wary of revisionism but the long overdue rewriting of the Wingsβ story is necessary. The record has been put right. They were terrific!
In today's Substack I look at why England aren't firing in the opposition 22 at this Six Nations...

Best Ireland performance in two years. Tremendous stuff in London!
Big game in the Six Nations on Saturday in Twickenham. A lot at stake for both sides!
In another world, you could stand on top of the mountain with your flag unfurled!
Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.
Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.
Some thoughts on the recent resurgence of Ulster Rugby:

Happy New Year, Beatlesβ people!!
Happy New Year, Chris!

For young people today, itβs impossible to explain just how important, and how massive, MTV was. It defined my generation in so many ways. Its demise powerfully reflects a world that has changed utterly!
Itβs hard. Iβve heard Giles Martin express this. Itβs unreasonable to expect new and novel material from a band that broke up in 1970. Itβs a fair point. But, maybe, Apple should stop trying. In the absence of something genuinely new (eg new insights from Paul and Ringo), they should leave it alone?
Has this been the biggest anticlimax of all time or have fans just become sick of the whole idea? βHereβs take 48 of blah, blah, blahβ¦β Itβs been done!
Happy Christmas Michelle!π
Donβt know who put this together but itβs pretty cool and, actually, very revealing:

Despite the YouTube comments claiming βAI!β these are The Beatlesβ demos of Love of the Loved (for Cilla Black) and Misery, with different lyrics. Anyone who saw Evolver β63 will remember a snippet of the latter.
Astounding that new Fabs material is still emerging!

Yes indeed, and I think pleading that he was just a βjealous guyβ doesnβt excuse it in any way. An appalling misstep.
Could be. π
Realise itβs not to be taken literally, of course, but the lyrics in βRun for your Lifeβ have really not aged well!π¬ #rubbersoul60
That piano solo is one of the best things on the album. Would be deserving of a co-writing credit in another world!
Easy to take for granted how truly phenomenal βIn My Lifeβ is! #rubbersoul60
Oh, oh. Paulβs mad at Jane seemingly.. #rubbersoulat60
Was one of his friendβs wives anyway if memory serves. She was a French teacher.
Was it Ivan Vaughanβs wife?π€
They all had great voices, to be fair. Mayβs voice is terrific!
Arnold Grove was some player!π

Thatβs why the Beatles are incomparable as a band!π
