I recently picked up “The Beatles: Rock Band” for Xbox 360 on the cheap at Old Navy. They had it listed at $40, on their 50% off shelf and my wife had a 30% off coupon with the use of an Old Navy card.<\/p>\n
Suffice to say there’s been a great deal of Fab in the house this week.<\/p>\n
In the spirit of LOVE, I thought I’d share with you a few of my favorites:<\/p>\n
Favorite Beatle:<\/b> George Harrison – While not the most common choice among Beatlemaniacs, George always had a quiet intensity that made him mesmerizing in The Beatles’ films. Plus, While My Guitar Gently Weeps<\/I> is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.<\/p>\n
Favorite Song:<\/b> Revolution<\/I> – I like to think of this song as the birthplace of punk rock. I’m sure most would consider that quite a stretch, but the remarkable guitar riffs, strained vocals, and strong political message makes this song one of the greatest of the Lennon\/McCartney partnership. Hey Jude<\/I> is a close second due to its inspiration for Steven Tyler’s trademark sound.<\/p>\n
Favorite Movie:<\/b> A Hard Day’s Night<\/I> – Call me old-fashioned, but I’m a fan of the classics. Plus, this movie has some of the most entertaining Beatle-quotes I’ve ever witnessed (aside from the “Live at the BBC” album, which has several humorous instances of the boys being boys).<\/p>\n
So, what about you? What are your Beatles favorites?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
