Addendum to my post - RIP, Alice Brock

Alice May Brock (February 28, 1941 – November 21, 2024[1][2]) was an American artist, author and restaurateur. A resident of Massachusetts for her entire adult life, Brock owned and operated three restaurants in the Berkshires—The Back Room, Take-Out Alice, and Alice's at Avaloch—in succession between 1965 and 1979. The first of these was the subject of Arlo Guthrie's 1967 song "Alice's Restaurant", which in turn inspired the 1969 film.[3]

About a guy who experienced the opposite of the saying "distance makes the heart grow fonder":

You said that I'd been gone too long
And the rain that fell in West Berlin
Was nothing like the rain that fell within
Out of sight and out of mind"

Norwegian Wood (The Bird Has Flown)

Esteban, I love your taste in music. I'm a bit older, but our taste crosses over quite a bit. It's timely that just today you are listening to Norwegian Wood. Just today, one of my grandkid's girlfriends was over at our house. She was talking about being a singer in the school chorus and also how much she liked '60s music and specifically the Beatles. I play guitar and I know a lot of '60s songs and I asked her if she'd like me to get out the guitar and have her sing. She jumped at the chance and she asked me if I knew how to play Norwegian Wood. She knew every word and sang it beautifully. It's amazing to me that Beatles music is relevant to teenagers 60 years later.

Always loved The Beatles. From the first time I heard them on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. I was 9 years old. They have always been my favorite musical group. Their music is timeless. Makes sense that a child who likes music would like The Beatles. Must have been an awesome moment for you and her, you playing guitar and her singing.

Reminds me of being a teenager. My younger sister could play guitar and we would sit in her room and she would play and we would sing together. A favorite song of ours was The Beatles' "If I Fell" and we would sing 2 part harmony, with her singing Paul's part and me singing John's part. Was very special to me. Thanks for making me remember.

I really love the roof top concert their last live performance. They seemed so genuinely happy. It’s a shame external pressure messed it all up.

Wikipedia is a mime of information, at one time scholars could only get this info from books, libraries and the Beatles fan club.
