A music critic for the New York Times reviewed Sgt.Pepper for the Sunday paper.He got the whole 4 page center of the entertainment section that Sunday,or Saturday night cause we always bought the paper the night before in those days.This critic took the album and went song by song ,line by line and basically trashed the album as derivative or some such. Of course in a few days it was hailed by one and all as perhaps the greatest record ever made,a view to which i still subscribe to.Needless to say not a good career move to have panned a universally acclaimed work of art by the most influential musicians in modern times.A few weeks later a new column appeared and this time he was saying well i was perhaps he should have taken a more careful approach in listening and he says " i have listened to it again in different places and different moods(say what) and maybe i was a little hasty"he didn't take back everything but we all got the drift.And adrift was where the New york times sent Mr.Richard Goldstein shortly thereafter.It doesn't pay to make the Grey Lady look bad,and man,did she look bad after that. My friends and i of course found all this terribly funny,i mean how could anyone in their right mind take the Beatles to task over their artistic genius,he got what he deserved Hi David,
ok here’s my 2 cents worth.

Your writings just keep "getting better all the time". The bass playing on many of these songs is unsurpassed in rock music. I always loved the walking bass line in Penny Lane and the bass playing on one of my all time favorite songs While My Guitar Gently Weeps. You can hear it all so much clearer on all the new stereo remasters. Depending on my mood any song on these albums could be my favorite. Their song writing and creativity was in full bloom at this time. I love reading the stories about your sister and how she influenced your musical direction. She was so cool! I wish I had known her.
