you can't escape the beatles.

i've never been all that big on the beatles or went through any kind of beatles phase in my life, but i'll borrow an album of theirs from friends or the library on occasion, hoping to assimilate their non-hits into my mental jukebox, and to more directly and more fully appreciate the scope of their tremendous influence that i've always just taken as a given.

anyways, listening to past masters, volume 2 today at work, i've come to the conclusion that bradley nowell had to have copped the vocal line on the verse from "lady madonna" for his own verse vocal line on sublime's "what i got."

3. Dear Prudence
4. I've Got a Feeling
5. Within You, Without You
6. Rocky Raccoon
7. Drive My Car
8. The Ballad of John and Yoko
9. Hey Bulldog
10. You Never Give Me Your Money

the continuing story of bungalow bill
rocky raccoon
you never give me your money
