Just marveling at the pace of change and development in the 60s. The Sgt. Pepper album literally shook the music world at every level of brow. It would be understandable that an artist might be a bit daunted about what to follow up that kind of monumental success with. It took Fleetwood Mac 2 1/2 years to follow up Rumors, The Eagles took nearly 3 to follow Hotel California, and Stevie Wonder over 3 years to follow Songs in the Key of Life. And yet the Beatles just toss out the MMT project within about 6 months of Peppers release.
Sheesh. All this time I thought "mystery tour" was just a name the Beatles came up with. I never knew until right now that that's a British term for school kids taking surprise field trips.
These mini documentaries collectively are better than the anthology. The anthology is great but this is the real stuff we want to know that would never be approved by Apple Corp. Well done
It seems amazing how each Beatles album that followed 1967 was so absolutely great, despite the discord, misguidance, drug abuse, and manipulation of such hangers-on
When someone says they've invented "invisible paint" and you take them seriously for more than 10 seconds, it's time to lay off the drugs. (in reference to "magic" Alex.)
