Well, this is only tangentially about the Beatles but a couple of nights ago I dreamt I was sitting somewhere with Tom Petty. . . .

That sounds like an interesting dream. 

I said yeah I saw you backing Dylan in 86 (which is true)

That must have been great!! I'm jealous. I've seen Dylan twice, but not with Tom Petty. That would have been fantastic. 

You have some interesting wishes and hopes then Normandie 

Well, this is only tangentially about the Beatles but a couple of nights ago I dreamt I was sitting somewhere with Tom Petty. He asked if anyone (there were vaguely other people in the room) had seen him and the Heartbreakers play back in the 80s. He seemed to be wanting to know if we thought they were good compared to today. I said yeah I saw you backing Dylan in 86 (which is true)  and said you were great. He had a pile of vinyls he’d just bought at some second hand record store. The first one on top was the George Harrison self titled album. I said that’s a great album and flicked through the other although I can’t recall what else was there. I then thought maybe I should have asked before I went rifling through his albums as he didn’t look happy that I was manhandling them. 

I'm resurrecting another old thread. 

I had a very strange dream last night in which I was showing Paul and George how to break in a pointe shoe.

Ironically, I'm currently working on an article about the Freudian interpretation of dreams: "Dreams offer a way of regaining a capacity to connect with wishes, hopes, and desires that have become difficult to access."

Huh. 

It rained here early this morning too, Euan...

He is missed.

Drizzly this morning this afternoon it’s brightened up a bit

The Let It Be Album

Not long to wait now

Had the Beatles ever expressed their opinions on the Rutles? Did they personally know Eric Idle? I know George was friends, obviously,  but what about the others?

I like 'Gonna Need Someone' a lot.  The others i'm not crazy about.  'Adeline' in particular showcases the strain in Ringo's voice and it just doesn't work for me.  I'll give them some more listens, but it's probably not going to get any better for me.
