John Lennon: The Bulldog of Rock and Roll Singers
Nobody Flashes
On THE FIVE today, they were talking about the Beatles, just because everybody is talking about them since it’s their 50th anniversary, and I was very surprised to hear that ONE of the five thought that the Beatles were a ‘pop’ band, not rock and roll. He didn’t like them.
Whatever.
I was saying, “That’s because you’re not a musician, and have no clue how simple real rock and roll is, and just how most of it was three chord progressions, and that musically speaking the Rolling Stones had great rock and roll riffs, (and a great drummer) but as far as harmony, creativity, counterpoint, rhythm…they didn’t even come close to the Beatles.
But hey…if you do nothing else, listen to the bass line on this song, it’s killer. Not to mention, John Lennon had one of the greatest rock voices that ever was recorded.
The Beatles were like Haley’s comet. Music like that comes around once in a millennium. I have EVERY original album and even their first singles, still in the same 45 picture jacket.
That’s how much I loved the Beatles.
I LOVE this song..
So….enjoy!

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Oh, that explains it. Yellow Submarine was released about the time I was drafted into the Army so I guess I had other things on my mind like pushups and jumping jacks. The last album of theirs that I bought was the “White Album”, which I still have. Can you believe I’m still using the same stereo system I bought in 1970 while I was in the Army? Thorens turntable with an SME tone arm; Dynaco PAT-4 preamp, Revox A-77 reel-to-reel tape recorder, KLH 17 bookshelf speakers. I always wanted to build my self some Klipsch corner horns (I have the plans), but never got around to it. The Marantz power amp died, may it rest in peace. Talk about being stuck in the past…

I thought I knew all the Beatles songs, but I’ve never hear that one. What album was it on (if any)?

‘Hey Bulldog’ was on the Yellow Submarine Album, one that many adults didn’t buy…probably because Yellow Submarine was NOT one of the worst Beatle songs ever written.
