@onhwy61 I’m taking everything you say in the post above as gospel. Thanks for setting me straight! As a matter of fact I did indeed see McCartney on stage alongside Plant, Page and the rest of Led Zep when I saw them at the Rose Palace (or was it the Shrine Exhibition Hall?) in ’69.
Beatles vs. Stones
Which do you prefer?
I'd have to go with the Rolling Stones although I do love Revolver.
And you?

@bigtwin - I never heard of that custom of putting pennies on dead people's eyes until long, long after I heard that song, so for 30 years or so, I had no idea what he was on about; might as well have been from 'I Am The Walrus'! |
@larsman Ha Ha. the British have so many sayings that are not understood this side of the pond. I'm guessing you would also miss the reference to "spend a penny"? With Taxman, Harrison also references then Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Conservative Party leader Ted Heath over the tax rate of 95% that was being imposed on high income earners. Taxman is simply a great song. |
