when the rain comes, they run and hide their heads

YO!

So, today i woke up at like 7 or so, for like five minutes to look out the window and see that it was absolutely pouring outside. It was in this instance that i thought, "wonderful, today is the day when i test my hypothesis of 'If its raining hard, there is no way i'm going to class.'" Luckily, the rain has subsided. In case you were wondering though, i was going to go. Its my only class today, its in the closest possible building, and its a history of rock music class. All of those factors combined led me to my responsible decision. But it was an existential crisis; of sorts. Regardless of what that means, I'm just glad its not raining anymore.

More importantly, and a big reason I haven't spoken with you in a few days, is The Beatles: Rock Band. Talk about the most wonderful idea of all time for a rock band game. Even the way the game looks is beautiful. It makes other rock bands look like, hah, Guitar Hero I, har har. Then of course there is the fact that you're "playing" Beatles songs. I will say, a game like this can really make you appreciate certain parts of songs. For example, the bass part in Paperback Writer, or the vocal harmonies in, well, every song, but especially And Your Bird Can Sing and Paperback Writer, again. Sometimes it can even make you discover songs you may have missed before (like a bunch of stuff off of Let It Be). I guess I'll just say that The Beatles: Rock Band is more than just a video game. Its an experience, and it will change the world. Beatlemania 2.0, if you will. Out of the speakers of every girl and boy you will hear the songs of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

all you need is love,
Michael W.
