The fields hereabouts seemed fertile enough, so more than likely it was some agricultural god that garnered the devotion of the local farmers. No one left coin on these roadside shrines, even the most devout knowing full well that such gifts would end up in the hands of hungry travelers rather than whatever patron deity they worshipped. A farmer’s shrine, with offerings of wheat and dried vegetables. There was a small shrine to some minor god or another outside the way stop on the Southern Imperial highway.

Failing to grasp the importance of layered thematic riffs in popular music (and frankly, failing to grasp what a musical hook is) he thinks this is merely a 12-bar blues variant that the Beatles rushed out in an uninspired moment. A perfect example is the song Day Tripper, which he pans rather ruthlessly. That said, he's also sometimes annoyingly stupid on strictly musical elements, making some technical musical errors and overlooking critical details. He's also *sometimes* brilliant in his musical analyses - often enough to warrant 5 stars across the board. The writer is very intelligent and almost invariably brilliant in terms of his analyses of the lyrics and the broader role of the group in the culture of the 20th Century. After an introduction it traverses the Beatles recording career song by song - going session by session rather than album by album, including unreleased oddities. This is a fascinating book - lovingly narrated by an ensemble cast - all listenable, and a couple of them exceptional. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cafe is famed as the Home of the Brian Burger.
