I read the news today about a luck man who made the grade. Though the news was rather sad, I just had to laugh.
John Lennon had a song about a news item about the death of Tara Brown and Paul had an unfinished song that he collaborated with John to write "A Day In the Life."
A Day in the Life was banned by the BBC due to references of drug use. The Beatles denied the drug references despite the fact that Paul had just admitted to have taken LSD, a drug that all four Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein had taken.

Paul, John and George Martin talk about Day in the Life

If you have your dog listen closely the dog can hear a dog whistle dubbed in by John Lennon as a joke. Rare Beatles memorabilia collectors can find the Sgt Pepper album that contains the inner groove track following A Day in the Life that was later included on the compact disc release.
John Lennon had stated that he took over a thousand acid trips in his lifetime, many of which were taken drug the writing and production the Sgt Pepper album. The Beatles had been smoking marijuana since Bob Dylan introduced pot to the band in 1964. Do you believe John and Paul when they say that this song has absolutely nothing to do with drug use?
Here is the Rock Band version

In this song it’s a drug reference. In She’s a Woman it’s a sexual reference.

it’s actually very interesting because if anything john and paul kind of knew that they were putting a potential drug reference into the song!

if you watch beatles anthology number 6,paul was talking about the song and he says that they actually knew that it could be taken as a drug reference!

from paul in anthology 6:"one of the things i remember about this song(a day in the life) was that it was a gorgeous song and learned the chords off of him,we developed it and then we got to the one bit which we didn’t have yet ‘i love to turn you on’ and we looked at each other and said:’we do realize what we’re doing don’t we,we’re actually using words like turn you on’,which was already part of the culture anyway,so then we said:’do it,do it,get it down!’"

its kind of funny because they’d used something similar in she’s a woman!

the line turns me on when i get lonely was said by paul to have been written in order to"give bob dylan a real drug reference to spot",of course that song wasn’t banned by the BBC at all

but i think by 1967,with drug use being more widespread and a big part of the culture,the BBC knew more of what to look for so to speak,of course they were always overly conservative anyway!

Someone with similar popular appeal to that of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Spice Girls? Girls Aloud?

If you choose a band/singer that you like then you will find it easier to collect for and also you’ll be more motivated to collect.
and if you choose a band/singer that has either easily collectable memorabilia or hard to find memorabilia that would be better

hope that helps

my friends say im spoiled because i always have money to spend on myself and them(i get them 30+ dollor presents for christmases, birthdays, and cards for every holiday i can think of. (the friends i am talking about are 4 BEST friends that ive known since kindergarden) i dont have a scheduled chore list, all my mom asks me to do is wash the dishes and clean my room(i dont get allowance) and gives me 10 dollors every time i pamper her for an hour(wich im happy to do, i love my mom.) and when im with my dad who i see every other weekend(two weekends a month, div. parents) my dad takes me on little adventures to to stores in LA mainly Amoeba records. i dont do that every time im with him. also, my mother gives me 20 bucks a week for food at school (3-5 bucks a day depending on what/if i buy) and some weeks i bring my own lunch and secretly save the money away. does all this make me spoiled? i dont feel like i flaunt with all my money by wearing designer lables. i dress in a band shirt and jeans everyday and i dont wear any makeup besides eye makeup, i dont do anything with my hair. my biggest investment is my vinyl and cd collection.

sorry guys if this is a lot to read, i am really bored, but interested in your opinions.
to the user "gurunvelbar" i actually do drink a lot of water. and i dont eat a lot of junk food, mainly because i wasn’t raised. my dad is greek and my mom is mexican so that means a lot of home-cooked food. not saying that i dont eat junk food at all. i do have the occasional corn nut =]
*raised to
oh and the depression thing, i think it’s genetic because my dad is bipolar(hes not as out of control as a lot of people think when i say that) and my brother also has a chemical imbalance. hes 21.

Well I am not a teenager but I do have 4 kids and even though you mentioned a lot of stuff. This is stuff that your parents want you to have. If your friends think you are spoiled maybe ir is becasue they are jealous of what you do have. FYI. My kids also always have enough in their purse for an outfit receive cash and goodys for various reasons.All 4 of my kids also have Lcd hanging on their walls with different gaming stations. Sometime teenage girls say mean things to each other out of jealousy and spite. Your parents have made a consious effort to ensure you have a good life. Enjoy it
