I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites

All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians

All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied son of Tricky Dicky
Is gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me with just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending mommie's little chauvinists

All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric paranoic prima donnas

All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

People say i'm crazy doing what i'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When i say that i'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say i'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When i tell them that i'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well i tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if i've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

It's a damn fvcking shame John went out the way he did. Still remember where I was when I first heard of the shooting, it was such an unbelievable shock. I often worry about MICK or KEEF being taken out by some random phycho killer with a gun. How sadly ironic that John was always promoting peace and he died such a voilent death. RIP JOHN. I'm proud of Yoko for keeping the flame burning for John and the many things she has done and continues to do in his memory.

I feel the same way.

Apple announced Tuesday that the Beatles' recordings would be available for purchase on iTunes, after a day of speculation about what the company's iTunes-related news would be.

Check out which artists are the last iTunes holdouts

At 10 a.m. ET, the group's 13 original albums, the two-volume Past Masters compilation, the 1962-66 and 1967-70 collections became available from the iTunes' Store as albums or individual songs. Also available is a digital boxed set featuring a video recording of the group's entire first U.S. concert in 1964 — and that concert can be streamed for free from the iTunes site through the end of this year.

The Top Ten Beatles Songs of All Time

"We're really excited to bring the Beatles' music to iTunes," Paul McCartney said in a statement. "It's fantastic to see the songs we originally released on vinyl receive as much love in the digital world as they did the first time around."

"We love the Beatles and are honored and thrilled to welcome them to iTunes," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "It has been a long and winding road to get here. Thanks to the Beatles and EMI, we are now realizing a dream we've had since we launched iTunes 10 years ago."

By late Monday afternoon the Wall Street Journal, citing "people familiar with the situation," said the announcement would involve the Beatles' digital catalog. The paper said that the deal was being negotiated as recently as last week between Apple, representatives for the Beatles and their record label, EMI.

Invasion of the Beatles: Rare Photos of the Band's 1964 U.S. Tour

Apple and the group have had a long and often fraught relationship, and not just because the computer giant and the Beatles' custom label share a name (which was the cause of the first legal action between the two companies, in 1978).

Due to the complexities of the Beatles' finances, the group has been late to many developments in the music industry: Its catalog was not released on CD until 1987, and boxed sets of unreleased material were not released until the mid-1990s, after being available on bootlegs for decades. When the group's catalog was finally remastered and released last September, a press release simply said: "Discussions regarding the digital distribution of the catalogue will continue. There is no further information available at this time."

70th Anniversary John Lennon Casino
“You say you want a revolution…” Well, he certainly gave us one. Seventy years after his birth, and three decades after his untimely passing, John Lennon’s musical revolution remains as strong and as present as ever. His message of peace continues to touch the masses, and his songs still resonate in the hearts and minds of fans around the world. At the request of Yoko Ono, Epiphone Guitars is proud to offer two 70th Anniversary John Lennon Casino models to celebrate the legacy of this extraordinary artist. Only 35 of each version will be produced—for a total of 70 guitars—and all will be hand-numbered, with soundhole label and Certificate of Authenticity, both hand-signed by Yoko Ono.

John Lennon’s Epiphone Casino has always loomed large in the imagination of Beatles fans, but in truth there are two iconic incarnations of this guitar. During the recording of Revolver in 1966, John Lennon and George Harrison both acquired 1965 Epiphone Casinos to match the guitar that Paul McCartney had bought before them. Representing the original state of this instrument, the John Lennon 70th Anniversary 1965 Casino retains its original vintage sunburst finish and all original hardware and period-correct appointments such as the correct “burst” pattern on front and back, an accurate neck joint at the 16th fret (rather than the 17th fret), vintage Kluson™-style tuners with small metal keys, a black plastic washer around the toggle switch, and the historically accurate rectangular blue label inside the upper f-hole. Amid a growing trend for stripped “natural” guitars, Lennon sanded down his Casino’s original finish in 1968 and covered it with a thin, satin finish to create a natural (aka blonde) look on the guitar. Around the same time, he also removed the pickguard and replaced the original Kluson™ tuners with gold Grovers™, a popular upgrade of the era (a period-correct pickguard and bracket, and a set of black “top-hat” knobs are included in the case of the Revolution Casino).

Lennon first used his stripped “natural” Casino during recording sessions for The White Album in 1968, and this is how the guitar exists today. These instruments are reproduced in every detail by the John Lennon 70th Anniversary Revolution Casinos. Both perfectly nail the vibe and tone of the instrument that proved to be Lennon’s favorite guitar through the last five years of his career with The Beatles, and together they represent the nearest things to embodying this legendary artist’s own instrument, in both iconic guises. The Vintage Sunburst 1965 Casino mirrors the look of the guitar seen in Lennon’s hands in several of the band’s concert in Japan during their last world tour in 1966, while the Natural-finished Revolution model is the spitting image of the Casino Lennon played on The Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus TV show in 1968, and the legendary Apple rooftop concert in 1969.

In addition to its hand-signed label and CoA, every John Lennon 70th Anniversary Casino includes a period-correct Epiphone hardshell case, and owner’s manual and adjustment literature, an Epiphone poster and bumper sticker, and literature for Epiphone’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 Customer Support.

A little bit strange to see John wearing this shirt, since he used to critisise the Stones in several interviews for keeping together as a band. I remember one interview where he called Jagger the little man who refused to grow up. I love John but I've always thought that he was a little jealous at the Stones.

Kind of wish the Mick video was in English, I remember reading at the time, '77/'78 a article in Rolling Stone with Mick commenting on "What's John doing farming Cows?" maybe it was later, but I think Mick & John were always good friends, even though both of them said things in the press about each other, that video looks like Mick Commenting about the Rutles, take of on the Beatles.
