yes. I broke 1000 views. here is some information about this song you might like to know. “Dear Prudence” is a song written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was initially performed by The Beatles and is the second track on the 1968 double-disc album The Beatles (also known as “The White Album”). It was recorded in one take at Abbey Road on 28 August 1968.
The song is about actress Mia Farrow’s sister, Prudence, who was present when the Beatles visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India. Prudence, focused on meditation, stayed in her room for the majority of their stay. Lennon, who was worried that she was depressed, wrote this song for her, inviting her to “come out to play”. While the Beatles left the course, Mia, Prudence, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, and others, stayed and became Transcendental Meditation (or TM) teachers. Prudence now teaches elementary school along with her husband, and they both still practice TM, and advanced versions of it, and may still teach TM.
This song, along with the preceding track “Back in the U.S.S.R.”, features Paul McCartney on drums rather than Ringo Starr, who had recently walked out. Starr returned after the recording of this song to find flowers waiting for him on his drumkit.
Lennon considered this song to be one of his favorite Beatles songs, and his son Julian Lennon has named it his favorite.
In 1987, Lennon’s original handwritten copy of the lyrics was sold at auction for $19,500.

Paul IS good on the drums, but I honestly think Ringo could keep a steadier beat. Seriously, the man is a human metronome. It sounds to me like Paul’s holding the sticks tight-ish, making the sound quality not as great as a nice relaxed ‘matched stick.’
If anyones wondering…yeah…I’m a drummer. xD Not the best but I do know this much.

to me, the white album is one of the best albums the beatles ever made and this song is one of the reasons why. everything about it from the lyrics to the melody to the way john sings just makes it a masterpiece. the trip to india certainly did them good i’d say!
