Johnny Duhan's fantastic take on the "Fab Four" and a few others as well! Something for Culture Night or should that be Culture Weekend. His in-depth knowledge and musical background lends more than a little something to his analysis and makes for an interesting half hour or so. If "Eleanor Rigby" was the first Beatles track to get my attention then "Working Class Hero" was definitely the second. I can remember crossing the Half-Penny bridge in Dublin (going south) and hearing a busker give a fair old rendition to the original. It wasn't a song that got any real 'airplay' back then or even now. "So you think you're so clever...." "Across the Universe" is probably way out there somewhere beyond the furthest reach and that's some achievement for the guy from Liverpool. (NASA ~ look it up!) Together the Beatles were much more than the sum of their parts and changed everything. With thanks to Johnny and the old share button on youtube.
