RE: Red Bull National Downhill Mountain Bike Competition - Oliver Springs, TN.

ok...well, I should warn you, I'm a huge Beatles fan. Huge. I remember that unique George album due to a song they used to play on the radio (Give Me Love, live - I think?), and always trying to "tape it" with a cassette. It was a rare one...definitely one I recall have to spend a bit of time on the weekends when it was a Beatles Weekend on that station.

My wife got me a record player for my 40th birthday, and one of the first albums I made sure to get was his All Things Must Pass album, used. My brother and I used to listen to that one endlessly on CD back in college. It's even better on the original pressing, despite being a bit tattered.

Yeah, the Beach Boys are something altogether man. I've been trying to get most of the Brian led stuff on vinyl for our daughter; there is something about their music...get away from the stuff they play too much, and there is a sadness in it. Needless to say, I found Today! used on eBay for a halfway decent price.

Beatles. Too cool. During our travels we stayed in Liverpool for two months. We were only staying in 30 day intervals wherever we were but that's how cool Liverpool was—doubled our stay. Toured The Cavern Club, Albert hall, the docs, all that stuff. Yoko has a Lennon museum there.

This is 2018, pre covid

Put Liverpool on your to-do list of you like the Beatles. I swear that city would be the London of the country if Lennon was around. It's Beatles, Beatles, everything Beatles there.

Yeah, I'd love to visit Liverpool; once I get to retire from my garbage job with crypto, we have some plans to travel more. We kind of hit spots here and there now, but it's always time-constrained with work. To dream though...
