All You Need Is Love - The Beatles

So... I ran into the song "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles on line the other day. As I watched John Lennon chew on gum between verses (Nom, nom, nom) and the rest of the band played along. I couldn't help but notice that this song makes little to NO SENSE! How about "All You Need Is To Make Sense" by Lennon/McCartney/Flores? I've posted the lyrics below and highlighted the only line in the verse which makes some sense. The chorus makes some sense too, "All you need is love", but that's such an easy thing to believe when your name is Paul McCartney, half the worlds female population are throwing their nickers at you, and your royalty checks are rolling in with six zeros. (Wipes rotten tomatoes off face)






Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.(WTF?)
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. (WTF?)
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game - It's easy.(WTF?)
There's nothing you can make that can't be made. (WTF?)
No one you can save that can't be saved. (WTF?)
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time - It's easy.(WTF!!?)
 
All you need is love, all you need is love, love is all you need.
 
There's nothing you can know that isn't known. 
Nothing you can see that isn't shown. (WTF?)
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.
(WTF!!!? Hello Afghanistan.)
 
All you need is love, all you need is love, love is all you need.

Masters of All

  The tragedy in people who become influential and start a podcast is that they think that their expertise transfers to a host of other topics. Jordan Peterson is definitely an expert when it comes to psychology, and he has some beneficial philosophies. However, him, like Joe Rogan (Although Joe Rogan repeatedly admits that he's 'just a comedian but with like a billion people listening to his podcast) who hosts guest that make dubious and sensational claims, Jordan thinks that he's got the lowdown on politics, and other fields of science. We've definitely reached a point in podcasting where it's at least the beginning of podcasters becoming the mainstream media. Judging by how many podcasters refer to the mainstream media, you'd think that FOX and CNN would have substantial influence, but when was the last time that you watched either of those? (Unless you're 53+ as their demographic has been older since I started counting in 2003.) People with Podcasts that

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day To all of you who break your back for your family Anguish, so real to you You shield it from your loved ones Like a duck, your feet flap furiously beneath the water Meanwhile above, your little ones only see a smooth ride Happy Father's Day to those of you who lost in court That sacrificed everything, who you are, the path that you were on Tolerating and enduring an awful relationship To make for your children, a more enjoyable life And all to often, only to come out the other end at a deficit In the eyes of the court, simply because you are a man Happy Father's Day to the fathers in history Whom either from ignorance or pride, went off to war to protect their family Especially to those who were drafted While others complained back home About anything that was back home They were taken, by force And were left no choice but to go up and over the trench Into an onslaught of gunfire, and at gunpoint behind If they came home, they came home from a place wh

Does Art Necessitate Mental Unrest?

Music alone is not enough And being a film director is too much It's usually the case that there's nothing that I want to say badly enough to put myself through the labor. There was a time when I really wanted to say something, and I did. But, mental well being, in a way, quells the desire to express myself through art. Something about art has been about me not being seen enough, good enough, or just enough period. Feeling like enough kills the drive to express yourself in what David Bowie once called "such rarefied terms". I still make music, I still record music, almost never finish it, and share it with others even less. There's more to me than being a musician. I do have a love for it, but I need more. I always hated math, I've grown curious about it, and have gotten substantially better. The pandemic compelled me to become a roof salesman and to get my insurance adjusters license. I still laugh at that, but nothing is wasted. Transferable knowledge is tak
