Beatles '65

When I was a kid, I bought the album "Beatles '65". At the time, I had no idea about the back story. Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac explains it today...

December 4, 1964…In England, the Beatles released their fourth studio album, "Beatles For Sale." It did not surface as a regular album in the U.S. until 1987. In its place was "Beatles '65" which included only eight of the songs from "Beatles For Sale."

Someone has put the entire "Beatles 65" album on YouTube...

Paging Michael Savage

Every now and then I read something that makes my head hurt. Michael Savage, the firebreathing conservative talk show host, who has said some of the craziest things about the president, now offers this prescription for conservative talk radio. From Tom Taylor's column today...

"Michael Savage says talk radio is “committing suicide” by focusing so much on Obama. Savage, now in the Cumulus syndication family, popped in on company-owned WABC, New York’s Aaron Klein to compare the obsession many conservative talkers have with President Obama to Air America’s “Bush bashing” – and forgetting to do entertaining talk radio."

I happen to think he's right about the Obama obsession, but you might be interested in what he considers "entertaining talk radio". He has called liberalism "the HIV Virus", has said the ACLU should arrested for sedition, has compared the left to terrorists, and casually bandies about the word "traitor". Now that's entertainment. Just stop saying Obama and everything will be fine.
