On #ThisDayInHistory in 1943, legendary #Beatles lead guitarist #GeorgeHarrison was born. Initially overshadowed by his bandmates, George later proved an exceptional songwriter, and his melodic style and fondness for 12-string & slide were key components in the Beatles' success.
Happy heavenly birthday to #Beatles legend #GeorgeHarrison!
Back in the day, Harrison sat down for an interview to discuss his musical inspirations, life experiences, and the creation of his label, Dark Horse Records.

"Come and Get It" is a song composed by English singer-songwriter #PaulMcCartney for the 1969 film #TheMagicChristian. The song was performed by #Badfinger, produced by McCartney and issued as a single 5 December 1969 in the UK, and 12 January 1970 in the US, on the #Beatles' #Apple label. It was the band's first release under the Badfinger name (having previously recorded as The Iveys) and was their international breakthrough.

#Today 18: tax prep tasks are now 90% finished. Waiting for one more doc, which is always late. But when it arrives, I can be DONE in under an hour!
Maybe DOG-E will eliminate 99.99999% of the tax code and make ALL of us more efficient!
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.

Meanwhile, I dream of spring flowers.
@randahl yes, I wasn't there myself but I love my music enough to remember that in the mid-sixties, it was #America that was burning #Beatles records for being 'bigger than Jesus' (Lennon quip taking out of context, as he said 'right now we are bigger than Jesus', which was a fact). So the puritan KKK nazi strand and love of burning things and people was always there, it was just given way more oxygen this year.
BONUS #JOKE
I think that when Volkswagen brings back the Beetle as a fully electric car... they should call it the "Lightning Bug."

What George Harrison believed happens after death
Following on from their Grammy win, The Beatles have put out a new video on their YouTube channel, and my face pops up 56 seconds in, during a collage of press clippings. The clipping isn’t even about Now & Then! How wild and wonderful.

"Live and Let Die" is the #themeSong of the 1973 #JamesBond film of the same name, performed by the British–American rock band #Wings. Written by English musician #PaulMcCartney and his wife #LindaMcCartney, it reunited McCartney with former #Beatles producer #GeorgeMartin, who produced the song and arranged the orchestra. McCartney was contacted to write the song by the film's producers #HarrySaltzman and #AlbertRBroccoli before the screenplay was finished.

HEUTE BRENNT DIE GOTTVERDAMMTE NAZIKNEIPE (also "X")! Die Hosts rasieren Trumps Boobs, marodieren mit der Heugabel durch die FaschUSA und die Steigbügelhalter von der #Merz #CDU kriegen auch ihr Fett um die Ohren gehauen. Außerdem geht's ausführlich um alte und neue AI zwischen #China und Baden Württemberg, wir hören Paint it Black von den #Beatles, es gibt echte Notfälle und Warten auf @johnnysharks und das Hörerstreffen.

Woke up way early again.
Explored the GoToSocial settings on Polymaths.social and the menu structure of sdf.org - I totally feel like a newbie there.
Took a good long shower... You are most welcome!
In a minute I shall put the kettle on for #Coffee and make a breakfast sandwich.
Currently listening to the "Across the Universe" soundtrack on YouTube music. A great album of #Beatles covers.
@drose would approve!
On Tuesday 19th November 2024, Arianna had a traffic incident on I75 being forced off the road by a truck cab. She was fine (checked out at UK ER the next day), but there was a lot of damage to the driver door etc.
Caspian the Camry was fixed extremely well by Quantrell Collision: https://www.quantrellcollision.com
However, Arianna is experiencing a 'click' when opening & closing the door.
We are taking the car back to the repair shop this morning, I shall then drive Arianna home in Ruthven the Rav4, then drive myself to work at the #FoodBank.
Operations at God's Pantry Food Bank went through good announced changes this weekend, with a lot of staff being promoted in a restructure. Exciting positive time.
Looking forward to congratulating all those involved.
Thanks to all who assisted me yesterday with the #Fediverse move from LinuxRocks.Online to Polymaths.social

I am loving the experience, especially that all my neighbours are extremely friendly and helpful.
A special shout out to @amin and @rl_dane
I hope y'all have a most excellent day.
