I'm excited because I just finished compiling an article on The Beatles' album cuts. Not something I would normally do, but it was requested of me by a Hubber by the name of DJ Funktual. It was a bit nerve wracking to have someone with DJ's musical prowess to ask me to do some involving music, but I had an absolute blast doing it! Listening to the tunes my Fab Four made (just for me, of course) was a wonderful blast to the past.
To be honest, I had a really hard time choosing songs. I know pretty well all of them and don't have a clue which ones other people know or consider good. As far as I'm concerned, if The Beatles made it, it's good. Period.
Anyone who knows me won't be surprised at my writing on this subject matter. The Beatles and I go back a long way, most of life in fact.
I really miss them.

For your listening pleasure - not a cut, just for fun.
We lost a comedic icon yesterday. George Carlin succumbed to a long history of heart problems at the age of 71.
How is it possible that George was that old and frail? I grew up listening to his naughty comedy, and I'm not old. He, along with Cheech and Chong, would keep my friends and I howling throughout our teenage years. There was something 'anti-establishment' about their records and radio broadcasts, which endeared them all the more to us. It doesn't seem so long ago, certainly not long enough for any of them to be older and in poor health.
George Carlin was reknown for his irreverant and direct humour. He never stopped entertaining. George last performed a week before his death.
Thanks for bringing us the 'Seven Words You Can Never Say on TV', George. We'll miss you.

Did you happen to see the Yahoo! home page today? If not, I recommend you check it out. It's a pretty interesting place to catch up on what's happening. They have their Featured News section near the top, that's my favourite. It has great photographs and eye-catching captions. Click the photo that corresponds to the news that interests you, and a video or gallery pops up to fill you in on the daily topic you've chosen. The Yahoo people do a really good job on their site.The reason I asked if you've seen today's edition, is because there is a headline there that is so teasing and tempting that I couldn't help but click on the scantily-clad runway model to find out more. The headline reads, A Sexy Thong Gone Wrong. Seriously.Seems that a lady in Los Angeles was involved in an unfortunate accident when her thong malfunctioned. The panties didn't have a lot of material, but they did have a sparkly rhinestone attached to make them extra pretty. The woman started to put on the pretty thong panties, then 'ping!' The article didn't say which way the rhinestone flew, but the metal clip holding it in it's rightful place shot up into the eye of its owner. According to the news report, the LA victim screamed when it happened and had to have a steroid solution applied to her scratched cornea. She's suing Victoria's Secret.The woman's lawyer went on the Today Show to discuss the tragedy publicly. What a sad story.I love the Yahoo! home page.Shirley Anderson's Hubpages© Copyrighted material. All rights reserved.
