Here Comes the Sun

[H2O Man]

by George Harrison

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

(Note: Yesterday was not only a great day for democrats, it was an important day for the United States. We need to begin the shift from the democratic primary, to focusing on the fall elections. The contest between Barack Obama and John McCain involves a stark contrast between the dawn of a new day in America, to the sun setting on the Bush-Cheney era. Let's work to make this a democratic win in the White House, Congress, and at the state and local levels.)

1. Doo da doo doo Do da Democrat

Thanks alot, now its stuck.

Here comes the regime change.

[H2O Man]

3. Last night I was

thinking about how when after the first couple debates between all the democratic candidates, some of his advisers expressed some concerns about his performance. And Barack told them not to worry, because he was planning to light it up in the 4th quarter.

[Me.]

42. Counterpuncher!

Title of your OP is just perfect

[H2O Man]

46. Yep.

Last night we saw what a good counter-puncher can do. That was the balance coming into play.

[Kaleko]

127. Nice, shiny thread, everyone.

Here's a version of the Beatles' Here Comes the Sun

[blogslut]

2. Walking in Our Footsteps

To steal a line from The Police:

Fifty million years ago
They walked upon the planet so
They live in a museum
It's the only place you'll see 'em.

They say the meek shall inherit the Earth...

Good morning, Mr. Waterman. :hi:

EDIT: got the smiley wrong

[H2O Man]

4. Good morning!

That was a heck of a good speech last night, wasn't it?

[blogslut]

30. It was a grand speech.

"We will win by telling the truth."

There is no greater call to action. :)

[JanusAscending]

122. I was too excited to sleep well last night.!!

When I finally did ,in the wee hours of the morning, I woke to the alarm, from a very vivid dream. In the dream, I was in a small coffee shop, waiting for some of my loved ones to join me (those living, and some of those that have gone on.) After I got my coffee, I noticed that there was a jukebox, and as I was thinking of playing a tune, a song came on called 'Love lifted me'. As my dear ones arrived, one by one, everyone in the place started singing along, and clapping their hands in time to the music. The last one to arrive was my late husband, and as soon as I gave him a hug, I woke up!!! I woke up singing that song this AM. I don't know if you know , or have heard it, but it says that when all seems lost, and nothing else can help, LOVE LIFTED ME !!:grouphug: :loveya: How appropriate for the morning after the beginning of a NEW DAY!! DC

[arewenotdemo]

131. sounds like a lovely dream

:-)

[TexasObserver]

5. this song is for Bill, after the way he looked last night

Hurt, the cover of the NIN number by Johnny Cash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

think metaphoric, for Bill's addiction to the world of presidential politics

[H2O Man]

6. The expression

on his face indicated that he knew what happened last night.

[TexasObserver]

7. Yes, I thought the full impact had hit him and he was stunned.

He really thought they had turned NC around, and Indy would be a big win.

I'm sure he was looking like that because some insider had suggested it might be time to bow out. His actions toward Hillary after she spoke seemed uncharacteristically solicitous and protective. I think he really was feeling her pain, perhaps more than Hillary.

[H2O Man]

13. On MSNBC,

Chris Matthews and Mourning Joe are comparing this to a boxing match. If we apply the same measure to Bill Clinton, he is like an old fighter who sees a young champion and thinks, "I can beat him!" But the old man is past his prime, and Bill is going through what happens to every man who tries to come back once too often: he can see openings, but can't get his punches off in time, and he sees punches coming, but can't get out of the way.

[Bake]

82. The Big Dog is a popular, influential former POTUS

Somehow I don't think he's just going to disappear. I suspect he'll continue his post-presidential work of doing good in the world.

And the dipshits here will continue to hate on him for - gasp - working with another former President to do good in the world.

Bake

[H2O Man]

84. Yes, he is.

And he should continue his work.

But Barack Obama is going to be the next President of the United States.

[Bake]

87. He's going to be the Dem nominee, at least that much is certain

But he and his supporters have a lot of work to do, to bring half the party back into the fold. So your second assertion may be a bit optimistic.

Bake

[H2O Man]

88. My approach to life

is always optimistic.

It will be each and every individual democrat's responsibility to decide if they want to support the democratic nominee in November. Being an optimistic person, I have full confidence that the vast majority will. And what will it say about those individuals who do not?

[YvonneCa]

114. Thank you for such a positive thread...

...H2O Man. My dog, born 9-9-2001, is named Sunshine ...so all the musical 'sunshine' songs hit home for me.

I think a new day is upon us...and we deserve it IF WE WORK FOR IT.

Those of us who know the importance and potential consequences of this November election have to convince our fellow Democrats, our friends and our families of it. I am confident that we will. :)

[H2O Man]

118. "If we work for it"

is the key. The work we do is the "democracy." It's the actions we take, now, rather than some goal in the distant future. Yesterday's primaries were the result of a lot of hard work, and all of the democrats who participated deserve our thanks.

[YvonneCa]

120. " all of the democrats who participated deserve our thanks..."

They really do...and I'd bet a lot that participated also participate here, at DU. :)

So, to them: Thank you!! :patriot:

[iconicgnom]

124. bluntly: it will say that they aren't democrats

For all that Obama is very mainstream, relatively speaking he has a progressive edge. I think Hillary Clinton was right when she complained that the progressive movement was one of her stumbling blocks even though she was dead wrong to suggest that progressive opposition amounted to intimidation.

I watched the Lieberman/Lamont duel with amazement and delight, how the "netroots" had such a decisive impact. It was a bit sad to see Lieberman beat the Democrat Lamont with massive Republican support in the Connecticut election, but nowadays when watching Lieberman stand at the right shoulder of Bush and McCain at every photo-op available I'm totally convinced that the Connecticut Democrats did the right thing and took the party in the right direction by backing Lamont. To my mind, that's just plain fact - by his subsequent actions Lieberman has made that the only conclusion available. There's nothing redeeming about the man. There's a difference between losing with dignity and disgracing oneself.

Lieberman/Lamont <-> Clinton/Obama is a bad simile, no doubt unfair. Except as it applies to a small minority of HRC supporters who'll jump ship out of spite, in an attempt to ensure a McCain win. Probably it's better to let stuff like that "sink", as one poster puts it - and it sure is time to go full out for Obama, and to waste no more time on internecine conflict. Esp. with traitors who now say they won't vote the Democratic ticket. Not with the GE right around the corner. Again, there's no more time to waste on internecine conflict -it's time to focus exclusively on winning the GE.

[BklynChick]

8. hallelujah!

[H2O Man]

14. The media coverage

is telling: Chris Matthews is saying he misses the contest already.

[MagickMuffin]

9. Sun, Sun, SUN, Here it COMES

[H2O Man]

15. Thank you

for reminding me to get out my Concert for Bangladesh DVD. It will be fun to watch today!

[MagickMuffin]

36. (It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)
(It don't come easy, you know it don't come easy)

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Forget about the past and all your sorrow
The future won't last
It will soon be your tomorrow

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
Open up your heart, let's come together
Use a little luck, and we will make it work out better

Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
Please remember peace is how we make it
Here withing your reach, is your freedom to take it

I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
(de de de) growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy


:hi: Enjoy your Concert for Bangladesh

[charlie]

27. Billy!

I've got a story, ain't got no moral.
Let the bad guy win, every once in a while.

Will it go around in circles?
Will it fly hight like a bird up in the sky?

[ekwhite]

100. George Harrison and Billy Preston

That sure takes me back.

[H2O Man]

101. I have a couple pictures

of them with President Ford and one of his sons.

[dmr]

10. Dylan's been on my mind lately

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, n how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, n how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, n how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, n how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before its washed to the sea?
Yes, n how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,
The answer is blowin in the wind.

[H2O Man]

Great song!

I'm going to be playing some Bob Dylan today!

[JerseygirlCT]

11. You know, I've been thinking for years that this ought to be

the song playing during the inauguration of our new Democratic president.

It's been a long, cold, lonely winter indeed.

[H2O Man]

18. It fits.

It is certainly one of the best songs for summing up how democrats are feeling this morning. And it would be perfect for Obama's inauguration.

[JerseygirlCT]

106. Completely agree! Thanks, H2Oman! nt

[Coexist]

12. .

[H2O Man]

20. Obama!

[MagickMuffin]

38. Last night watching the early returns I started getting worried about IN

So, I put on two Obama pins and got my Obama sign and waved it at the TeeVee whenever they showed results. I also waved it during Hillary's speech and chanting .

Maybe it helped because his numbers started climbing and climbing and climbing until it was 2% points off her lead:rofl:








edit to add pic

[Duppers]

17. America's next first couple

Their love for each other shows.



"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

I am proud of my country--finally. I am moved.

[Eurobabe]

19. What a SEXY couple, that is a fantastic shot

Where did you find that?

I can't wait to have this FAMILY in the White House. :woohoo:

[H2O Man]

22. That is a great photo.

I think this is a great shot of the family:

[Duppers]

23. I went through 20 pages of a google image search for Michelle this morning

And when I saw that one, **smack**, I knew I had to post it.

Sexy, beautiful. I love it.

[H2O Man]

25. Michelle Obama

has a lot to offer the country.

[Duppers]

24. here's another one

Made the same day.

[Duppers]

26. That's best one I've ever seen

and I wish someone would blow it up and photoshop it w/o the messy Ebony background.

hint, hint...anyone?

[Eurobabe]

32. When I saved your photo it said it was from Ebony too?

Correct?

[Duppers]

51. it was made during the Ebony session

but I found it at the site > www.politopics.com < from the google search for Michelle pics.

That pic is just awesome. I glad you appreciate it too. :)

[SoFlaJet]

85. thanks duppers

yea nice pic and all but I got chills reading the bottom

[Duppers]

96. yes, I felt compelled to add those words fr. our Declaration of Independence

I awoke thinking about those words and how, now for the first time in the history of our country, I think they can be fully realized.

(I hear Sen. Clinton's press conference as I type. I bear her no ill-will, but it's time. <Sigh> )

[Duppers]

28. One of favorite songs

thanks, H2O man. :)

[H2O Man]

31. It is a great song.

[Duppers]

35. is that George?

If so, I've not seen that one before.

Big Beatles fan here. :)

[H2O Man]

37. Yep.

It's from the Concert for Bangladesh.

The Beatles' music is far and away my favorite to listen to. (I include "post-Beatles," too.)

[stillcool]

29. Let it Be.

[H2O Man]

47. It's a beautiful day

in the northeast. Reminds me of when I was in college, and we'd be blaring the Beatles albums.

[myrna minx]

33. Good Morning. It is a good day.

:-)

[H2O Man]

48. A really good day!

[Lochloosa]

34. Great Song Great Yin Yang

Great Candidate.

[H2O Man]

50. Great day.

Our Constitutional democracy can be re-established in 2008.

[mmonk]

39. Yes. The sun is brighter here in Raleigh this morning.

It's all right.

[H2O Man]

52. It's all right!

Enjoy this day!

Who do you favor for his VP?

[mmonk]

65. Hard call.

I was thinking maybe Nunn, Zinni, Richardson, or maybe Sebelius. I personally would like Richardson but I would have to consider everything the campaign will consider. How about you?

[H2O Man]

66. There are several

good options. Richardson would be good. I also think highly of Edwards and Wes Clark.

[mmonk]

73. Yes, I like Edwards and Clark as well.

Edwards's only problem is he has been the vice presidential candidate before. I respect Clark a lot especially since I was part of the draft Clark movement and then supporter until he dropped out in 04.

[H2O Man]

74. It has been reported

that he called Clinton last night, and said she should drop out now.

[H2O Man]

75. George McGovern, too.

Just reported on MSNBC.

[mmonk]

79. Maybe this pressure will influence the SD's.

We need to move on to consider the ticket and strategy.

[H2O Man]

80. Exactly.

I'm confident that there is a lot going on behind the scenes right now, including discussions with the super delegates. If Clinton is unwilling to do the right thing, others may take actions very soon that result in the same outcome as if she steps aside at noon.

[mmonk]

78. Yes, I heard that.

[Roon]

40. Waiting in the rain for a dead show at red rocks

the rain stopped and the sun started peeking out..The mixer board boys played this song.

[H2O Man]

108. It should be the

democratic party's theme song this fall.

[Roon]

134. no doubt

eom

[LWolf]

41. A favorite song

that does not apply to the current primary situation.

Obama is not the sun.

The prospect of Obama as the nominee or the president fills me with despair.

[H2O Man]

45. Our Constitutional democracy

is the sun. And it is shining today.

I know that a lot of people were invested in the Clinton campaign. Likewise, many were equally invested in the Edwards, Biden, and other campaigns. And they wanted their candidate to win, just as much as I wanted Obama to win.

In "real life" (as opposed to the internet), a lot of my good friends are/were Clinton supporters. This includes co-workers who I did voter registration/education with in 1992 and 1996 for President Clinton. And I worked for Senator Clinton in 2000 and 2006. I don't have any problems with their support for Clinton, nor do they have any problem with my support of Obama. But Obama has won, and it's time for democrats to respect that.

As our party's nominee, Barack Obama provides us the vehicle to obtain important victories in Congress, and on the state, county, and city/town levels. This is the current situation, and the song fits perfectly.

[LWolf]

54. I'm not a Clinton supporter. I never have been.

I don't think I'm going to achieve any important victories with Obama in the WH, when he stands to obstruct, in some cases, and in direct opposition, in others, to the victories I wish to achieve.

Obama will probably win the nomination. Of course, I haven't voted yet. I'd like to think that my vote, and the votes in my state, carry equal weight.

I'd also like a clean, democratic primary process. I'd have more respect for the nominee as the party's choice if I thought all announced candidates had the same starting line and ran on the same track. In my opinion, it's been a stormy race, a boggy track, and too many "fixes" were in to make what happens at the finish line worthy of celebration.

We don't even reach the finish line until the convention.

I'm a DK supporter, but I never expected him to win. I knew better; I just think it's the right thing to do to support the best positions on issues.

I haven't had a pony in this race since everyone else dropped out before super Tuesday. It's been a long, hopeless primary season, and I'll be writing in a better candidate when I vote. I got my ballot yesterday, and have a week or so to make up my mind who to write in.

I'll probably do the same in November.

[H2O Man]

55. Of all the candidates

who were in at the beginning of the primary, I probably have more values in common with Kucinich than the others. I also think very highly of John Edwards. I contributed to most of the candidates, because I thought it was important that they each had the opportunity to put their ideas before the public.

The system has been severely damaged, and the most serious damage has taken place since 1980. In my opinion, when Cheney instituted the "shadow government" in 2001, our Costitutional democracy was suspended. The November elections will not heal all of the damage -- it will take at least 20 years to repair the damage that Bush-Cheney have done. But the election of Barack Obama and other democrats opens a small door, and provides the possibility. And as Rubin Carter taught me, he who bemoans the lack of opportunity often ignores the fact that small doors can open into large rooms.

[LWolf]

57. You are correct about the small doors.

I'm focusing my efforts on local and state races, and on the House and the Senate. Smaller doors than the POTUS, but there are more of them, and more hope to get more of them open.

[H2O Man]

58. We will not

be able to have a true Constitutional democracy without having the grass roots investing time, money, and energy in "local" elections. I include everything from school boards to village/town/city/ and county boards. The most severe damage that has been done to our democracy is found on that local level -- in the homes and schools and businesses where people live their everyday lives.

[LWolf]

59. I agree.

So, while I will not be with the Democratic Party when it comes to the POTUS and the GE, I will be working hard behind the big scene on those grassroots efforts.

Something I CAN do without compromising my own principles.

[Patsy Stone]

43. And I say

it's all right.

K&R for one of my favorite songs and a great way to start the day.

[H2O Man]

56. It's a wonderful song,

and I think that a lot of democrats are singing it today!

[countingbluecars]

44. Perfect! eom

[H2O Man]

62. Perfect!

I'm watching the Concert for Bangladesh now. It has a great version of Here Comes the Sun.

[SoFlaJet]

86. I love it

Badfinger sitting in with him on acoustics......."gonna try one with just these acoustics if we can get the mic on"

[IronLionZion]

49. We also had record turnout and Dem support from very red states.

:patriot:

[H2O Man]

63. Yep.

There is something happening across America. I'm impressed by the passion shown by the young people who are involved in the primary process. It's a good sign.

[Blue_Roses]

53. here-here

:toast: :D

[H2O Man]

67. A great day

for America!

[Duppers]

60. fate

I swear this is true...I've been listening to Eric Clapton radio on www.pandora.com all morning
and they're now playing "Here comes the sun" !!
From George Harrison And Friends
The Concert For Bangladesh (Live)

[H2O Man]

68. It's one of

the best DVDs that I've got. I'm enjoying it this morning!

[SaveAmerica]

61. This morning I've been singing "Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the mo ho ho nen"

But I like your song much better. And, after all the walking in neighborhoods, making calls, driving people to vote the past week, this thread made me cry. Pictures of the next first couple, I am beyond verklempt right now. Thanks.

[H2O Man]

69. Thank you

for all the walking in neighborhoods, making calls, and driving people to the polls!

[Tatiana]

64. Is it "Morning in America?" n/t

[H2O Man]

71. It's a great day

for our Constitutional democracy.

[snappyturtle]

70. K&R It makes no difference to me THIS morning if the skies are

cloudy here in the hill country of Texas because I can 'feel' the sunshine on my cheeks! I imagine the entire planet is a little sunnier today because of yesterday's results.

You know, don't you, that many of us willing be humming "Here Comes the Sun" all day? Ha!

I am more hopeful today than I could have imagined! :woohoo:

[H2O Man]

72. That's a good thing!

Democrats should be singing Beatles' songs. We need to drive the Blue Meanies out of Washington DC.

[NC_Nurse]

76. It's a beautiful day here in NC! I am SO hungover from our volunteer party

last night, but I don't care. :D

We worked so hard and brought in our county 77% for Obama - who could ask for more?

Yes. We. Can.

[H2O Man]

77. Yes We Can!

I rarely have a drink, but as today is my younger son's 21st birthday, I may have one, myself!

[Ichingcarpenter]

81. Morning has broken

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
------------------------------------------
I feel better after what happened last night
a new dawn is breaking.

[H2O Man]

83. "Oh what a new day"

Positive Vibrations

[Ichingcarpenter]

89. Time to get on that "Peace Train"

Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together,
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer,
it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living,
it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer,
soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again

[liberalla]

90. I love that song - Peace Train

:sigh:

[liberalla]

91. George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle...

"The contest between Barack Obama and John McCain involves a stark contrast between the dawn of a new day in America, to the sun setting on the Bush-Cheney era."

- H20 Man

[H2O Man]

92. George Harrison

made a lot of good music. I enjoy listening to his songs frequently.

[progdog]

93. Have you heard the soundtrack

to the Imax film "Everest". George collaborated on it. It's wonderful. Great instrumental of "Here Comes the Sun" . Love your post. My favorite Beatles song. :hi:

[H2O Man]

94. I do not

have it, but I know of it. I think there are some other "Harrisongs" on it, like All Things Must Pass.

[progdog]

95. Yes that's right.

It has lots of Harrison guitar work and sitar. It's quite beautiful and powerful as well.

[bleever]

97. The smiles returning to the faces.

It's a good feeling.

[progdog]

98. And that's the truth.

Feeling good today! :hi:

[me b zola]

99. It's alright

Thanks, H2O Man. :)

[H2O Man]

102. Thank you.

Enjoy this day!

[Cha]

103. Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

[H2O Man]

109. I've been singing

that song all day.

[Cha]

116. Thanks for bringing it on board...

it goes right to the heart of the matter.

[Annces]

Congratulations

And I'm glad he passed the audition.

Are we there yet.

[H2O Man]

111. "Four Cats on a Hot Tin Roof"

was the title of the TV Guide article from when US tv first played the roof-top version of that "Get Back" audition!

[Annces]

115. I think I found the youtube version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6G7MkBMVxE

[H2O Man]

117. That is so good!

There is also one of the versions of "Don't Let Me Down" they did that day, on youtube, right after "Get Back."

[Annces]

119. I have to say

after reading your postings on the Beatles, I have more appreciation for them. My sister and her best friend did a dance to their song Imagine in grade school. They wore hot pants and the principal made them go home and change before performing. Her best friend was the real beatle lover with the posters. She was a Cherokee Indian. I think they used to visit their grandmother on the reservation.

104. From one George Harrison fan to another!

Here's hoping this is what the Obama Administration will bring:

GIVE ME LOVE-(GIVE ME PEACE ON EARTH)
- George Harrison

Give me love, give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light, give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul

OM M M M M M M M M M M M M M
M M M My Lord . . .

PLEASE take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

Won't you please
Oh won't you

Give me love, give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light, give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul

OM M M M M M M M M M M M M M
M M M My Lord . . .

PLEASE take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

[H2O Man]

110. Good song!

It fits the day, too.

[symbolman]

105. I've been telling people for a year or so now.

that there is a new Age coming, a new Dawn.. Like that last traffic jam before the road opens up and the whole world is wide open..

Get Ready for The Love People, tho some might not be ready for it.. I'll just laugh just like I did back in the day when the sun-drenched and acid filled folks used to go around Hugging those suits dragging briefcases around..

:)

Its why I wrote that book I've got to get off to you (too broke for now, but I will) for the past seven years.. I've seen these ages line up before, in the same fashion described by Twain, in that, "History may not neccessarily repeat itself, but it Rhymes..."

Don't fight the Love when it comes your way :)

And H2OMan, I love Beatles too of course, have you heard The Rutles? Its genius, and some of the Beatles were involved in "All You Need Is Cash" along with Monty Python.. The music was so spot on that some folks thought The Beatles were "sneaking" some music out :)

I think I wore out two Rutles albums in the day, wishing so hard that The Beatles would reunite...

Get out the lawn chairs, put away the Umbrellas, and how Much Love can You Stand?

[H2O Man]

112. Yes, I sure do

remember that film. George had a good working relationship with Monty Python. When I was first in college, a lot of us spent a lot of time watching Beatle films and listening to albums, including the backwards stuff.

When some of older DUers talk about things like the year 1968, I think it is probably hard for younger folks to really appreciate how an much influence the Beatles had. I have been thinking of posting a little essay about John's song "Revolution," which I think summed up a lot of 1968 quite well.

[Nothing Without Hope]

107. Great to see you, H20 Man - and your earth yin-yang image is perfect

Very inspiring on many levels.

And speaking of rain on parched earth, you must know your posts are a force for building healthy, positive intentions, but I doubt you realize just how powerful and refreshing they are. Please keep them coming. Every one of them makes an impact.

[H2O Man]

113. Thank you.

This has been a difficult primary, and the fight ahead will also present a lot of hardships. It's good to use DU for an exchange of ideas. I appreciate that some people still take an interest in what I have to say here.

[GetTheRightVote]

121. We do need to move forward with our nominee, Obama !!!

[bleever]

123. I've been ruminating on this since this morning,

and I feel even better now.

Sun, sun, sun: let it come.

[Botany]

125. And to you my great and good friend I give you this link

http://www.maniacworld.com/george-harrison-here-comes-the-sun.html

George Harrison & Paul Simon on SNL circa 1978

Hear Comes the Sun & Homeward Bound

I remember watching it and I turned off the t.v. for months afterwords
knowing nothing would ever come close to that magic .....

Later that year I watched the Dead in Eugene, OR and for about an hour
Gracia, Bob Weir, and Carlos Santana played guitar (acoustic) and covered
folk tunes .... and i danced w/ some beautiful girl by the stage .... damn hippy
liberal values. :rofl:

[bleever]

133. That clip is sheer magic,

as is your memory. I'm lucky enough to have a few like that too. :)

[Botany]

135. Someday our paths will cross but till then ....

I hope the Aspen is tender and your pond is full of family and
friends.

[Jed Dilligan]

126. My folks are in Europe right now

Everywhere they go, people rooting for Obama. This election's about the whole world, not just the country. Something John Lennon would appreciate.

[Ikari Gendo]

128. Another song from back in the day...

Share The Land
The Guess Who

Have you been around
Have you done your share of coming down
On different things that people do
Have you been aware
You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you
In a year from now...

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be giving away
When we all live together.

Did you pay your dues
Did you read the news
This morning when the paper landed in your yard
Do you know their names
Can you play their games
And coming down a bit too hard...

Shake your hand, share the land
Shake your hand, share the land
You know I'll be standing by
To help you if you worry....

No more sadness, no more sorrow, no more bad times
every day coming sunshine, everyday everybody laughing
walking together by the river, walking together and
laughing, everybody singing together, everybody singing and
laughing, good times good times, everybody walking by the
river now, walking singing talking smiling laughing loving
each other.

[Lautremont]

129. The Guess Who!

Those guys are great.

[agent46]

130. It's our turn to now...

If we say so.

132. I would like to See Bill

Working to get Myanmar(formerly Burma) some relief. God It impressed the hell out of me when he did the work for Tsunami survivors.

[David Zephyr]

136. I feel that ice is slowly melting
