I don't think anybody's going to be too inclined to tell you where the
man lives if you end your message with "Let Me Take You Down".
Anybody else shudder when they saw that?

-- Hold on a sec, here -- am I missing something?? What's the deal with the
song line Ashley quoted, and why is it jangling so many nerves?? Is there
something about it that implies this Ashley person is up to no good? If someone
quotes "Catcher in the Rye" in their signature line, then maybe I would worry
about their intentions... But come on...
BTW, I saw a mystery novel in a store yesterday called "God, Jesus and
Coca-Cola" or something like that. One of the quotes on the back of the book
said "This is a 'Catcher in the Rye' for the 90's, and it doesn't make you want
to kill a Beatle."
"Nothing to get hung about..."

That's not true. I know it, and I opted not to give it to her before
anyone else posted :)

_let me take you down_ was the title of a book written a couple of years ago
about lennon's assassin.
one could read into that phrase (as the author obviously did) that "take
you down" could also mean to kill someone.

wanted to kill Paul, I would think they would
already know where to go for it. Besides, I'm
sure he has tight security; at least I hope he
does.

Nobody seems to realize that this person may have been (and probably was)
simply and innocently quoting one of John Lennon's greatest songs.
Everyone has been ranting and raving about how this person must be some
sort of maniac, when they haven't even met her. Isn't it a bit insulting
to make inferences like this about someone based solely on a .sig file? I
once had someone decide I was crazy based on my old .sig file. The thing
about "friend to caped superheroes and wizards" caused him to assume I was
living in some sort of dream world and had no contact with reality; he
thought I really believed that those imaginary beings were my friends. He
proceded to send me several insulting e-mail messages. Please, let's not
treat this person that way. She's not the one who killed John Lennon, so
stop blaming her.

"Let me take you down to Strawberry Fields." "Cause I'm going" is
the reason, which is interjected into the sentence.

Dunno if there's any deep significance to this, but one early demo
version I heard a bit of has John singing it as "let me take you back"
rather than "down."

Well, heavens...it's not that big a secret. :-) At least his business
address, which is: MPL, 1 Soho Square, London W1 England.
There are some nice little restaurants in the neighborhood, should you
find yourself in the area, and some even nicer used record shops nearby.

Diagramming the sentence so strictly might obscure the metaphorical
meaning, which I've always taken to mean the singer wants to invite
the listener down/backwards/wherever to his past, specifically his
childhood...or a type of innocent netherworld where "nothing is real".
The invitation is less a strict reference to Strawberry Field(s) itself,
which is a real place near John's boyhood home, than it is to a journey
away from the present and "down" to this special retreat. The imperative
immediacy is implied too---let me take you *now* because I'm going to
this fabulous place, etc. As such, I don't have any problem seeing
two independent sentences (Let me take you down/I'm going to Strawberry
Fields) linked by "because"; i.e., because I'm leaving right now, let
me take you with me.
Have I muddled this sufficiently yet? If not, I can suggest a grand
Chomskyan deep structure, for all you linguistics fans out there. :-)
Aaron Bucky
I beg to differ. I don't think it's "Let me take me down, 'cause I'm
going, to Strawberry Fields." That's not the way John sings it, and if he
had wanted to write "Let me take you down to Strawberry Fields 'cause I'm
going there" (or a more musical way of phrasing same) he would have. I
think he sings " Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry
Fields." "I'm going to S.F." is the reason for "me" to "take you down,"
rather than "I'm going" being the rationale for "Let me take you down to
S.F."
Okay. Is that convoluted enough for everyone? :-)

It's been my experience that "Revolver" adds a nice gloss to Plato and
Herodotus goes better with the Traveling Wilburys.

MPL's address used to be 12-13 Greek St., London. That was a while ago, so
I don't know if that's still correct. The way the British postal system
works, you can actually send a letter to "Paul McCartney, living somewhere near
Rye, East Sussex" and it will eventually get to wherever his letters go. I
assume he has a private mailng address only his friends know, but the British
post office prides itself on getting mail to anyone, no matter how poorly
addressed it is!!

Well, I haven't ever taken a Plato class (though I did Herodotus last
semester), and I don't have any of the Wilbury's albums at this time. But
thanks for the advice anyway.
