A lot of Beatlesness this weekend. All of the oldies stations have been playing 2 and three Beatles songs at a clip and I'm so happy :) They keep saying it over and over again that it's their anniversary.

Stephanie may be leaving forness of ever and I will miss herrrrrrrrr! Don't leave me!
Ahh!

In honor of Black History Month, I'll post the lyrics to Blackbird, a song written about segregation of the sixties.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.



Also, in today's paper (St. Petersurg Times) they talk about how Paul said the Beatles would never play to a segregated audience. Thus, the Jacksonville Gator... thingie de-segregated it's seating chart for him. Now that's power. If some of the most important people in America couldn't change segregation but Paul McCartney and the rest of The Beatles could.

Did you see that thing in the paper about that guy that collected all the Beatles stuff? I'll have to show it to you if my parents didn't throw it out.
