Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

CNN doc is ok. Nothing new there. Always interesting to look back.

Let It Bleed: From the Rolling Stones at their height. 1969. The end of an era and the gateway to the (shudder) '70s, and beyond. Gimme Shelter was a bold foreshadowing of the future

A Stones comment on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles !?

Just heard that "Yesterday" was written shortly after Paul's mom died. It's worth a relisten:

Thank you.
So significantly different than anything now.
Why - is the question.
Something temporal, cultural, cosmic?
Hate to live in the past, but music like this is so much better . . .
