Jake's Challenge #1

It's not that it deeply disturbes me if somebody doesn't like The Beatles, I just don't see how it is humanly possible if you have listened to them thoroughly and with an open mind. To me, not liking the Beatles is like not liking sex. I just don't understand how it can be. So, this is for Jake specifically. He doesn't like the Beatles even though I KNOW he has never given them a fair chance. If you can honestly listen to this song and not like it, well then may God help you, but then I will get off your case. This song is absolutely amazing and heartbreaking and beautiful. You can't not love this song. The audio is pretty poor but it is still fantastic. I could have got one with Paul McCartney actually playing but there are too many girls screaming and it's distracting. This is just a short little video of the lyrics. Not only is the melody beautiful, so are the lyrics. Here you go, a perfect example of the genius of the Beatles. Ok, I don't want you to feel obligated to like this song, just listen to it with no pressure and just enjoy it. I promise that you will. The first time through don't read along with the lyrics. Just sit and listen, then go back and read the lyrics with it. I can't express how much I love this song.

That song is just ok. I still don't really like them.

So what does it mean if you don't really like them but like a few of their songs?
On a totally different note, I'm glad your blog introduced me to Guster. I am now addicted to The Captain and Ruby Falls.
