    My wife's aunt use to watch The Beatles play at the Cavern before "Love Me Do" was released. We also met a lady on a train in Australia who was from Liverpool, and she aso watched them at the Cavern. I also worked with a guy who was once in the merchant navy, and see The beatles playing at the Star Club in Hamburg. He also sat with them in their break, and had a drink with them. He said that George, and Pete were very quiet. Paul was a bit reserved, and stuck up, and the friendly one was surprisingly John.

    Nice one Professor Hamamoto , great interview with Matt. Always loved that George Harrison solo album Wonderwall Music , it came out a week before the white album here in the uk. l bought it in1992, when it was re issued on cd, sublime...

      I've been around so long that I bought the original "Wonderwall" album when it was issued. And "Electronic Sound." I'll have to get the CD reissues. Thanks for watching.

    I always wanted a vinyl collection like that but it’s just so easy to steam now with so much choice. But with the right set up listening is far superior with vinyl.

    Thank You Professor however I wanted to ask about the car crash death of the original Paul McCartney? His replacement? What about the Tavistocks involvment and MI6? The album cover of chopped up babies? They were a psyop group.

    Just as I finished watching this, I moved my laptop and the charging cord raked across the stack of CD's I placed there to be burned to the hard drive a month ago. The top one fell of, and looking down at the shattered case, the disc looked like a pasenger in a car wreck. Title: George Harrison Live in Japan with Eric Clapton and his Band. Promo. The disc on top of the stack was George Harrison Best of Dark Horse. I never read the lyrics until now.
    Poor little girl with her head in the air, there's a poorly sick world all around you. Poor horny boy, one thing on his mind; that poor little girl. He must find you. There's a whole lotta love shaking inside of me, and I must find out why it's there. There's a bottomless heart that's hooked into all of you, and it's wondering how much you care.

    Great discussion. I could listen to these two guys discussing culture, the Beatles or anything else, for hours. I remember the Wicker Man as being such a well done and of course extremely creepy film. I think Christopher Lee said it was his favorite film he’d done (and I think he must’ve been in over a hundred(?). For those not familiar, please don’t confuse this 1973 film with the remake from (I believe the 90s), which may be in competition for “the worst film ever made.” Just utterly awful lol.

    • @professorhamamoto

    Al Bowman [founder of the Los Angeles Music Awards (1991), and former limo driver to the stars back in the 80's] has a disturbing story on Dick Clark (re: Al Bowman the real dirt on Motley Crue 13 minutes in). He was a far cry from that shiny, clean cut, sweetie pie image he portrayed on tv. Yeah those remasters, my last ditch effort will be digging out my ancient Kenwood receiver and 12" Cerwin Vega speakers from the 80's; maybe then I'll hear the changes..........I think we got $crewed! 😀

    It’s based on Vishvasara Tantra, from Tantric art,” Harrison once said of the track. ” ‘What is here is elsewhere, what is not here is nowhere.’ It’s a picture, and the picture is called Sour Milk Sea - Kalladadi Samudra in Sanskrit. I used ‘Sour Milk Sea’ as the idea of - if you’re in the shit, don’t go around moaning about it: Do something about it.”

    • @professorhamamoto
      @professorhamamoto  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Harrison reportedly qualified as a "yogi" but otherwise is seen simply as the "spiritual" Beatle by the fan boys. But it is deeper than that. Again, my hypothesis was that he was a dedicated devotee of "tantric yoga."

      I’ve reached out to the professor in the hopes that he will go deeper. Otherwise he’s operating from an untruthful place. It’s apparent from watching this video hearing the same old retreaded tropes dragged out again and again ad nauseam. I do love the professor and respect him immensely.

    Perhaps even more germane to Cultural Forensics is this slight tangent:
    Has anyone sorted out what happened with *Walter/Wendy Carlos,* the _Switched On Bach_ Moog-sploitation "transgender pioneer" ?
    @31:00 lol I never cared for _Layla._ Dumb chorus, a constipated vocalist and that endlessly-spammed main lick.
    Less is NOT more as some say (and up ain't down, either) , but some well-chosen space can absolutely make for better music.

    • @shaft9000
      @shaft9000 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I may suggest, there is a very potent antidote to the Taylor Swift type already.
      *Tristen Gadsparek.*
      She's one of the very best American pop singers of the 21st C, if not ever. Self-written originals sung in a voice you wont believe, a novel approach to covers, a stylistic range that would give Paul a run for his money, and is currently little-known. The singles _Dream Within A Dream, Negotiating, Complex_ and _Battle of the Gods_ are a good start, but the quality is so consistently high that you can dip/dive in however you like.

    • @professorhamamoto
      @professorhamamoto  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The live acoustic version of "Layla" was nicely rendered, but too much keening slide guitar on the extended outro on the album track. I know we're supposed to like it because it was Duane Allman playing over Nicky Hopkins pounding on piano, but the outer-lude should have been crafted into a different song. Wendy Carlos was a pioneer in more was than one. If the GLBTQ+ ideologues in academia had any savvy other than what they are paid to spout off, Carlos would warrant serious study.

    I personally corresponded with Jim Fetzer and argued against his Paul is dead theory, accusing Fetzer as being a CIA disinfo agent to propagate the message that would discourage artistic people to not have the idea that they could do what the Beatles did; in other words that was the real narrative, not the Paul is dead angle. Jim Fetzer's retorts were only mono-syllabic expletives hurled at me like frustrated rockets missing their targets...

      I was on a couple of shows with him and read most of the books he edited and could see where the Pop-Up Pundits were going to take serious research questions.

    Dunno about sex cult but will stay tuned to see if you can “flesh out” the hypothesis. I will note relative to your comment about Harrison being troubled that despite his quiet nice guy image his lyrics have a good deal of hostility and passive aggression in them.

    This is ok-to-good on social history, if dodgy in places. For much more serious Beatles sonic know-how, try and talk to Brian Kehew.
