"Grandpa, I know you like the Beatles butisn't there crap in every Beatles album?"
"Well, it's hard to make an album with EVERY song being good."
"Grandpa, what about Abbey Road? Was that their best album?"
"No, I don't think it was....but I liked side 2 better than almost
any one of their other albums. Side one also had 'Come Together'
and 'Something'."
"But Grandpa, didn't side one also have 'Octopus' Garden'? That was
crap wasn't it?"
"Yup yup, that was doo-doo."
"And on the Sergeant Pepper album, wasn't there 'Good Morning'?"
"Well that wasn't as bad as 'Octopus' Garden'."
"Didn't the White Album have some crap?"
"Don't Pass Me By, Wild Honey Pie, Why Don't We Do It In the Road...
all crap..."
"And Grandpa, what about Revolver? 'Dr. Robert' was crap right?"
"Yup yup, more crap."
"So Grandpa, I guess the Beatles put out a lot of crap."
"I suppose so..."
"Grandpa, can I still wear this shirt?"

Sorry, Unc. Octopus's Garden is a good song.
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
...what poetry! And Macca having Ringo sing it...genius.
Or like we used to say for every Beatles song we didn't get right away: Try playing it backwards.
