Really? Even with my inner Carlos Castenada in full flow I’m having real difficulties making sense of this snippet below. Guess it’s no surprise I ain’t the biggest fan of ‘The Lamb’, huh?
“Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe
I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob, goo goo”
I know that Semolina Pilchard refers to a policeman who was instrumental in some of the famous rock star drug busts of the time. He was also making fun of people mindlessly chanting Hare Krishna.

Dr. John: "People will cite John saying that Ringo isn't even the best drummer of The Beatles. I'm pretty sure he was saying that in jest as all of them have spoke about how much better the band became when Ringo joined them."
FeelItComing: "Lennon did not say that about Ringo. English comedian Jasper Carrott said it."
Perhaps I got the wrong story but I always understood the "isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles" quote (note the wording) this way: John was referring to the fact that Paul also drummed, as he did on the first 2 "white album" tracks during Ringo's temporary walkout.
It's true that Paul did some of the drumming. However the fact remains that Lennon never made the comment.

Because they're the Beatles.
Post anything Fabs-related here.
My favourite albums are Revolver and Abbey Road. I'd love to have been old enough to have experienced the cultural seismic shift of hearing Revolver for the first time on its release (I was 1 year old).
A Beatles-related thing came up in the Yes thread, about the lyrics to I Am The Walrus. It's not actually the willful stream of gibberish it might appear to be. It's an anti-establishment rant. It was written in the context of authorities starting to clamp down on the newly-found freedoms of youth and pop culture, for example the arrests of Jones and Jagger, and the banning of Radio Caroline. It felt like the establishment fighting back. Add to that, Lennon got the seed of the main riff while sat at home and hearing the 'nee-naw' of a police car siren going past. There are snippets of the lyric that aren't wholly on-topic, e.g. the opening lines are very much in line with his peace and love thinking at the time, and there are little bits of school playground chants mixed in. But, while couched in florid psychedelic language, most of the song is him having a dig at figures or concepts of authority, underlined by his vocal being in prime Lennonesque bitter sneering mode.
Backdrifter, I agree with you about Walrus.

The Beatles have been and will likely continue to be my favourite band ever. Although I love most of their biggest hits, I too love the more obscure gems.
One person who tends to get an unfair shake as a musician is Ringo. People will cite John saying that Ringo isn't even the best drummer of The Beatles. I'm pretty sure he was saying that in jest as all of them have spoke about how much better the band became when Ringo joined them. Ringo's drumming was never about flash and technical prowess. He very much drummed to serve the song. If you are a doubter about how important is drumming is to the feel and ultimately to the success of the song, listen to Long Tall Sally (particularly the end), Ticket to Ride, Rain, She Said She Said, A Day In the Life, the last verse of Dear Prudence (Paul drums the main song, but the last verse has to be Ringo in terms of technique), Come Together. These songs would not be as great without what he brings to each. Many other far more technically proficient drummers sing his praises because they recognize what he is doing as a musician.
Lennon did not say that about Ringo. English comedian Jasper Carrott said it.

They are my favourite band, always were, always will be. Revolver is my favourite album by anybody.

A couple of significant results last night in Japan becoming the first Asian side to beat a South American side, and Senegal beating Poland. Also for all the sneering about the host team they've scored more goals than anyone else so far. I was hoping Egypt with one of my Liverpool heroes Mo Salah might beat them but it wasn't to be.

Both great songs. I got to see Crowded House a few years ago. I have very mixed feelings about Neil Finn joining Fleetwood Mac. What are your thoughts COT?

I like it a lot. There are better songs but it's a love song to Mrs Rutherford & that's sweet.
