I like both songs and I think those are their two best

Blue Jay Way
Shirley's Wild Accordion
The Fool On The Hill
Hello, Goodbye

Gee, if it was so obvious even YOU could figure it out, I must have been wearing a neon sign.

Either that, or you're utterly confused again. Ask God for guidance -- just bang your head on the wall and he'll appear.

Holy shit. If these many songs did employ a full piece orchestra, Beatles might be the most symphonic rock band ever... Even more so than Moody Blues and ELO

those are songs employing 1 or more orchestral musicians, not the full orchestra necessarily

JOHN: Not Present
PAUL: Not Present
GEORGE: Double-tracked vocal
RINGO: Not Present
Outside Musicians: Anil Bhagwat, Tabla. Other session musicians.

On Octopus's Garden, well, that's my bad. Here's where I went wrong:
2/08/1969 (10:00am until 12:15pm 12/09/1969) Abbey Road Studio 2. Tape
copying with simultaneous re-recording of Ringo Starr's vocal, bass, lead
guitar and piano with __outside musicians__ (takes 1-10) for Ringo's
appearance on the show With A Little Help From My Friends. Producer:
George Martin; Engineer: Martin Benge; 2nd Engineer: Richard Lush.

No outside musicians on the Beatles version.

Hey, go after me if it makes you feel better, because if you
want me to stop talking to them, I won't. (You talk to them
yourself.) A thread is a thread that anybody is allowed to

I told you that you don't know yourself. You have an obtuse sense of
reasoning. Many folks in here have given up on you. You feel a need
to step into every flame, and you actually exacerbate matters. If you
would stick to music and The Beatles, this newsgroup would be far
better off.

You won't grasp this; the problem is inbred in your personality.

Crack a dictionary once in a while. You enable them by covering for them -- by chiding anyone who calls them out for their OT shitposting, e.g. "you don't have to read their posts, let them say what they want" -- followed by the obligatory "bravo/thanks for sticking up for me" responses from them.

You provide the cover, they feel empowered to continue.

It's none of your fucking business who I talk to or what
I post about. What I do has "never" had anything to do with
you, so quit making it about you. On second thought I'll
just leave the group. You guys deserve each other. Good
luck. Happy flaming.

You sure give me a lot of credit, after you post about
how stupid I am. You can't have it both ways.

Someone goes around constantly lighting OT fires, and the fireman is to blame. Right.

They? Fatass has been here for seven years, and she didn't come in the door screaming about Yoko and Muslims. She found a playmate in the moderated jewish group a couple years ago, who dutifully followed her here to cover her back while she posted anything she damn well pleased that had fuck-ALL to do with the Beatles. She can't hack it without her private cheering section. And you provide cover whether you realize it or not.

Helping her to continue pissing all over RMB for the last five years doesn't require high intelligence -- quite the opposite. It requires being clueless about your own actions.

See, you don't even care if I leave the group cause when
I do, it will give you less to complain about. It will be
funny though, except for all the people you say you like.
They shouldn't like you so much because you've gone
so low to make fun of my head injury. That's very low
class and I'm warning them that they'll be next on
your shit list, and you're just here to cause problems
like last time. They haven't seen anything close yet
to what they'll see you do. You'll ruin this group.
I'm out of here unless I decide to respond to
Mack one last time. Enjoy your sewer.

No I don't. You've always played the victim and blame
other people for "your problems", and the current posters
haven't seen nothing yet. Wait till they do and they'll
wish they had never seen you.

I haven't helped her do anything. I've suggested that
everybody just ignore them and start their own threads.
that's all I've said. It makes the most sense because I've
also spoken to them many times about what they talk
about and they continue to post. I've never talked about
Muslims or Jews to them, which is the biggest complaint,
right?

I give up. You just watch what happens, cause you'll
ruin this group. I have things to do. Good luck
in this sewer you're helping to create. You'll take
everyone down with you. Bye.

Define "full piece orchestra"

or·ches·tra
Noun

A group of instrumentalists, esp. one combining string, woodwind,
brass, and percussion sections and playing classical music.


Do we include the George Martin stuff on Yellow Submarine?

Interesting, since you've never admitted you had one. I ASSUMED you had received some sort of brain trauma because you mentioned seeing God several times, but you got indignant and never responded to my assertion. Your head injury brings me no joy, but thanks for proving my theory anyway. I might have been more delicate with you had I known that.

And now, you may make your grand dramatic exit from RMB forever, until tomorrow.

You are such a fucking liar. I made my announcement to this group
about 2 years ago. Go through the archives and you'll find it.
I told the story because I have people here who I consider friends,
and I wanted them to know that if I didn't respond to some posts,
or to go into certain detailed responses that they wouldn't feel
like I had snubbed them on purpose. I never expected someone
like yourself to use it against me.

I ASSUMED you had received some sort of brain trauma because you mentioned seeing God several times, but you got indignant and never responded to my assertion.

I never said I saw God, dammit. I said I felt his presence 4 times.
You can't ever get this part right.

Your head injury brings me no joy, but thanks for proving my theory anyway. I might have been more delicate with you had I known that.

You're going to fuck up this group so bad by flaming people
that you'll drive most people off. You'll find out yourself
that you can't control what people post, and you'll make
posters sick of you. But, I'm going to let you have your
way and get out of here since you are so determined to
make your point. Go for it. I wouldn't step back and leave
if it was anybody else besides you.

> And now, you may make your grand dramatic exit from RMB forever, until tomorrow.

See, right here you really don't want me to leave. You're
the kind of person who just loves to flame people, no matter
who it is. But, I've made my agreement with you so I'll
keep my word and not post here. Just wait though until
all the people that you've stated that you liked see what
kind of person you really are. Have a nice day.

Like I knew that. I stop in here for a week every few months or so for the last few years, and I should know everything that's posted in the interim?

OK. I'm going to stop there, lest I forget what is causing you to lash out.

Here, this will calm your soul: after tonight, I won't be in RMB for a while. I only check in while I'm on vacation anyway. It will be safe. No Big Bad Wolf to go berserk on every poster I see, or whatever you imagine I do.

I recognize that an online social life means a great deal more to you than it does to me, so rest easy.

You'll be OK. Deep breath. Calm thoughts.

You knew I had a head injury. You knew what the name of Fatts
other group that she posts in. You posted the link. You've been
here quite a lot.

If I was lashing out, I would give out your personal information,
like you did to me a while back. I won't be so unkind to you.

OK, now I'm 110% positive you've gotten me confused with someone else. The "anonymous remailer" and "Danny knows who you are" comments a few days back were the first clue. I have never given out my identity to anyone in a newsgroup or public online forum, even in private email. Ever.

Here, I'll prove it: I hereby give you permission to post "my" personal information in RMB. If anyone contacts me in any way (other than using my junk email addy, which obviously everyone can see), I'll issue a public apology to you in this newsgroup and promise to never return to RMB in any form.

Deal? Deal.
