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.

School and Home School

  Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows:   1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1] 2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Is Your Government A Narcissist?

  First of all, I apologize. Writing is a craft that takes ample time to do well, but I live in time and society that necessitates swift communication. The two don't go well together. I'm a single father who also looks after his elderly father, so there will be some grammatical mistakes, as well as composition related ones. Please endure with me through a semi edited writing. UNO There's a reporter who's controversial Tucker Carlson. I couldn't tell you why he's controversial, I just know that he is by how people talk about him. I also heard that Tucker Carlson is on the "far right". In our ZANY society, if you identify as the opposing party, in this case that would be "the left", it is almost socially mandatory that an individual express negativity for that person. Because if you don't someone might look at you suspiciously. DOS There's a personality disorder call "Narcissist" . They come in a couple of flavors. Tucker Car...

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...
