2. Who hasn't had their house lit on fire by an angry and soon to be ex lover?

3. It's still amazing to me the amount of art they put out in a short amount of time.

Even at their most Beatleest they released an album every 6 or 8 months.

6. Way back in the way back I read a story that the words "Norwegian Wood" were used to substitute

for the original lyrics which were deemed too suggestive to be played on the public airwaves.

According to this article the original words were "knowing she would" which was certainly suggestive that the couple would have sex. Remember the middle '60s were still very conservative media-wise.

I never thought "Norwegian Wood" made a hell of a lot of sense in this song, but the music was so beautiful. On the other hand "knowing she would" really fits and the song makes sense with those words.

Any comments any one?

I fell hopelessly, foolishly in love when this album became popular. It ended predictably. These songs always remind me of the things that I have cherished in my life.
