MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

Yes, I know, I neglected my blog just terrible in 2021. Lets see if we can't get back on the ball for 2022.

Do you not miss those days when we were young and before MTV when you acted out entire albums with your best friend? For me Magical Mystery Tour was one of my favorites, and me and Scott would stay up all night on Friday nights, building our model rockets, and listening to his collection of Beatles albums, acting out every song. Looking for clues about Paul's death. Then a bike ride to 7-11 for an apple beer at 3 in the morning in the seventh grade.
Penny Lane was just wonderful to act out, with its four of fish and finger pies, barbers, bankers and blue suburban skies; fire engines, roundabouts, nurses and poppies and the fireman comes rushing in through the pouring rain.
Very strange.
I nearly had these memories dashed by someone that wanted to tell me some of these songs, including Penny Lane, weren’t on this album. Sometimes I make stuff up. Yes, I do. But its not important anyone knows when I do that, make things up.
But its important for me to know.
