Which i do. I hate the song but if i play ‘With The Beatles ‘ it doesn’t get skipped, if it comes randomly on my iPod it gets played thru. With gritted teeth admittedly but it gets played thru.
So if you are waiting for a representative of a coumpany and the only thing playing is Hold Me Tight . How long would you last before you give up?

Offline With any company when i get put on hold – if its an important manner and i have the patience i’ll hold, if i cant be bothered or it can wait i’ll phone back later. With a Beatles track i’d listen thru once (its the Beatles afterall) and see what comes on next. I do the same in shops when Beatle songs are playing as i like to know out if its just one track or an album, and if it is an album which one.

Now that’s a dedicated Beatlemaniac.

Today, I went to a taping of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, as this is his last week. I asked a friend who watches his show more often than I do (I just can’t stay awake that late) whose pictures were on the mantle of his fake fireplace. She told me that, among them, were Paul and Angela Lansbury. It turns out that Craig was the originator of the Old Paul-Lansbury comparison.

How was the show?

Offline Very fun! That was my third time going to a taping. This time it was understandably more relaxed as we close in on the final show. It was also very touching as both of his guests (Jon Hamm and Tim Meadows) hugged him after their interviews.

Offline I was in a shop a couple of days ago and Paul’s ‘The Pipes Of Peace ‘ was playing on the intercom while I was standing in the line a woman in front of me said “I’d wish someone would shove The Pipes Of Peace up McCartney’s arse”.
Needless to say I had to leave the queue quickly before bursting out laughing.

Was watching this video of rehearsal footage of Stevie Wonder, Pharrell, Nile Rodgers and Daft Punk performing “Get Lucky,” at the Grammys because “Another Star” is my favorite SW song. And lo and behold, as a bonus there’s a Paul sighting around minute 5.

And what is that funky chorus starting at 2:40…Chic by Le Freak…or Freak by Le Chic…or something? (late 70s)

Offline I’m watching The Five-Year Engagement on TV (it’s actually pretty funny), and Jason Siegel’s parents are talking to him about his new much younger girlfriend. His mother is telling him that if he does not go back to his older fiancee he will regret it: “And some lucky guy is going to make it work with her no matter what instead of settling for some 23-year old airhead who probably doesn’t know who the f***ing Beatles are.” Dad: “Had to be said.”

Offline Randomly, an article on infidelity showed up on my FB feed, and that article led to another about different types of affairs. The reason it’s Beatley is because the writer used “Paul and Linda” as an example, and that was kind of jarring.
The writer changed the names, so I wonder if he’s a Beatle fan. In which case it’s just as well he didn’t use “John and Cynthia.”

Offline I went to a restaurant with my parents on Saturday to celebrate their anniversary. The restaurant also has karaoke. In between songs they mostly played Beatles songs. Every once and while I would get excited by not paying attention and thinking someone was going to a Beatles song (no one did). As we were leaving they were playing The Beatles version of “Twist and “Shout”. My husband ran up on stage and started singing a few lines.

Offline I was in the mall just a few moments ago and heard a strange cover of We Can Work It Out playing. I stopped to figure out where it was coming from. It was the music playing for the carrousel.
