[BobbyLayne]

Think about any other group and how many earworms you can get started just reading the titles of the songs. A lot folks, people like me who like them but aren't even obsessed superfans, can instaplay 100-150 tunes in the catalogue. That's how interwoven they are in the culture. Not sure that is even remotely true to the same degree of any other band.

More than anything else I love the way this song encapsulates the yin and yang of Paul and John as songwriters.  Paul's optimism is balanced by John's impatience and cynicism.

Yeah, Krista probably should have said something about this.

Hmmm... 

Trying to place K in this cast. 

Queen Cercei - only if K really improves her mean. Not likely.

Queen Dany - possible...very possible. Both baddass. 

Sansa - not the naive Sansa, but the wise Sansa...I see similarities, but, something misses here. Pass. 

Arya - I like this. I could see K here. Still needs a little more mean, but within reach I believe. 

Still decidin

Now, back to Game of Thrones casting. 

Getz - gonna be tuff, but I'll try. 

Lord Varys - Getz has all the inside info, like this dude. And then doles it out as he sees fit. But, not sure if Getz is a eunuch...

Littlefinger - another dude that specializes in inside info, but I actually like Getz...so, pass. 

Maester Aemon Targaryen - could been king. Instead remained devoted to knowledge. Wise. Honorable. Old. What's not to like? Eh, dead. 

Jon Snow - ******* king. I like bastards. I am a *******. he knows nothing... Apt? 

Still cidin'.

There's a bunch of these videos out there - Kids React To Beatles Songs.

One little girl calls out John's lead early in Lucy In The Sky ..."sound's like Spongebob" 

They ask what does this song mean?  One kid disgustedly says, "It's just a song, whydoyah have to debate it??"  Another kid says, "I really don't know what any of these mean."
