Sleep. Life would be better if people didn’t need to sleep.

True but it would only work if only you or very few people could live without sleep.

If everyone didn’t need to sleep, there’d be 16-18 hour workdays, 14 hours at school etc. and it would still be crap. 

That would be fine if you love what you do.

Especially for the many people here who seem to have trouble sleeping and wander around like zombies (which is okay on Halloween but a pain otherwise).

Sleep. Life would be better if people didn’t need to sleep.

I like sleeping. Hate mornings. Happy if they got banished. Takes me about 2 hours to get adjusted to being alive.

I’ve mixed feelings about both items– I do admit that sleeping does seem a waste of time when there are so many things one COULD be doing– but the enforced break is good to have. And if one never slept, then one would never dream! So one could never be given a private concert by Paul or walk round the garden with George or play Here Comes The Sun for Dhani! 

And as for mornings, well, I hate waking up. I concur with John on this point (I’m Only Sleeping is my favourite John song on Revolver , and indeed, one of my top five John-Beatles-songs ever). But once I’m properly waked, after the correct songs have played on my guitar and the appropriate waters splashed upon my face, I like mornings very well. The day is nice and fresh… pity that mornings don’t come at mid-day! a-hard-days-night-george-10

I could do without the dreams. Either they are so enjoyable that coming back to life reveals it all to be a chore or its not very pleasant and you’d wish never to have had it. I’d be happy with an 8 hour shut down.

Itunes. Again.

Now its decided to randomly sync only part of what I want it to so I’m left with large chunks of albums missing.

You’d think with all the billions they make every time we curse how crap it can be at times they’d be able to sort these issues out.

I can top that.  I once had a really nifty pen-flashlight, and when my reading lamp went out I felt I really needed it to rummage around my papers, since the lighting in that area was so poor without the lamp.  I looked under papers, books, and other paraphernalia, getting increasing frustrated that I couldn’t find my nifty pen-flashlight — until a couple of minutes into my search, I realized that all along I was searching for my really nifty pen-flashlight WITH MY REALLY NIFTY @#*(*@#$ PEN-FLASHLIGHT IN MY HAND…paul-mccartney

Which reminds me, I have a habit of stopping in the middle of a drawing, standing and doing something, and then leaving my pencil in that place. So then I get back to my drawing and I realise my pencil has disappeared. Very irritating! a-hard-days-night-john-7

When people get all offended when a song gets covered.  I see this all the time and I, frankly, think it’s stupid and ridiculous.  There’s always some idiot who says “How dare they?!  What makes them think they can do it better?!  You can’t beat the original!”  They’re not trying to do it better, dumbass.  Of course the original’s better.  Only in rare cases (The Who’s Shakin’ All Over, Johnny Cash’s Hurt) is the cover better.  They’re not trying to improve on the original.  They’re trying to pay tribute to the original artist and expose more people to the original artist.  God , I hate when people do this.

People wrongly titling YouTube videos. The Beatles never did a James Bond song (tho there is a 007 nod at the beginning of the US ‘Help !’ album) so who thought the below could be correct?

Outside the Beatles years, only 1 Beatle on the recording, there wouldnt even be any doubt as whether this was canon Beatles or not.

Tho there is a 5th Beatle. george-martin a-hard-days-night-paul-7

News headlines that reveal pretty much the entire contents of an article. To think of an example: 

‘Sir Paul McCartney Doesn’t Read Music, Says Ex-Wife Mills’ 

and in smaller type, beneath: 

‘Mills is solely responsible for daughter Beatrice’s musical education’ 

and then you read the article and it basically says all that, in so many words. a-hard-days-night-paul-10

That reminds me of a YouTube video I watched a little while ago.

 

Why say exactly what Reagan said beforehand?  Why not just show the clip?
