Also, Billy Preston made a HUGE difference to the final result.

9The Beatles: Get Back
by Simon inanyone watching this?
i've just started the 3rd and final episode which starts with i presume stella (no, heather) mccartney as a little kid playing in the studio while they record.. overall it's an amazing behind the scenes view of how they created the album and likely how they worked, the past songs and times they referred to and the camaraderie they had most of the time.. mccartneys song-writing and musical brilliance comes through of course.. overall i give it 5 stars if you're a beatles fan but can see it being too long if you're not.. personally, i have an ever-growing collection of outtake recordings of the beatles and bob dylan and have often come to like them more than the released tracks because they are just so raw and unpolished and you often get to hear how a song developed and evolved over time to the version you finally heard released.. who knew we'd be getting some fresh beatles material all these years later?!.
who knew so many fluffy coats and jackets could be worn by so many people in one place..

Anyone watching this? I've just started the 3rd and final episode which starts with I presume Stella (no, Heather) McCartney as a little kid playing in the studio while they record.
Overall it's an amazing behind the scenes view of how they created the album and likely how they worked, the past songs and times they referred to and the camaraderie they had most of the time.
McCartneys song-writing and musical brilliance comes through of course.
Overall I give it 5 stars if you're a Beatles fan but can see it being too long if you're not.
Personally, I have an ever-growing collection of outtake recordings of the Beatles and Bob Dylan and have often come to like them more than the released tracks because they are just so raw and unpolished and you often get to hear how a song developed and evolved over time to the version you finally heard released.

Don't allow people who wallow in drama to drag you down.
You don't owe them anything regardless of whether they are family or not, so don't put up with their nonsense. It does wear you down and can risk costing you real money, time and energy.
Move on and don't feel bad for leaving them to the life they choose.

Watching the old Rockford files again since the 70s
by mickbobcat infunny but this show has all the current events we have today, nut bar hippie cults, gay issues, and many more and i get to see the old car classics drive around.
anyone ever notice how things do not change all that much?
the big issue is so many idiots mostly left over old far hippies and young idiots who do not know how to tie their own shoe laces are imo much bigger in size than in the 70s.

Funny timing, but I watched the intro to this on YouTube just the other day. I remember watching it (or it being on TV) when I was a kid.

I think every congregation did, but then I think every group of a few dozen people or more tend to as it's just human nature.

Why some are religious or not?
by Vidqun intime article: several years before pope francis became pope of the catholic church in 2013, psychologists began to debunk the idea that being more educated meant a person was less likely to be religious.
instead, a new social psychology theoryone that had little to do with education levelarose.
according to dual process theory, people are either deliberative or intuitive when they make decisions.

The problem with any theory of why people are religious is it can't differentiate between the true-believers and those who see it as an opportunity for networking, selling and whatever.
The split between those groups may be down to education which could explain why there isn't a difference in religiousity (a word?) that can be seen - they are there for different reasons.
But the way obviously intelligent people and often sceptical people who question other things, can still be believers never ceases to astonish me.

Anyone hear about the makers of Hydrochloroquine being murdered?
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-death-apotex-idUSKBN1FF2G2
Not necessarily a conspiracy, but heck, they sure make it easy don't they?
Who doesn't think that the WHO and UN (apparently now co-defendants) and the pharma industry, with $billions at stake and unprecedented government control, wouldn't go so far as offing people?

Well, you posted the same topic 3+ times, so who know what you're bleating about. But hey, make accusations before establishing facts why don't you?
Don't expect to be able to post if you make work for me.

Root is about a black slave. the entire story is about the color of his skin and origin from africa as this is the very reason he is a slave in the first place. The character arc is dependant on the color of his skin.
Well, it could be a modern social commentary highlighting how modern-day racism targets whites.
But if the slaves were all black (they weren't) then the non-slaves must have been non-black, right? So programmes where all the aristocrats are cast as black characters are equally wrong and unrealistic, right?
So, I'm asking: What character trait or story is dependant on Bond being white? this is an honest question. I guess there could be something, I'm just wondering what?
To be believable, he has to be white. He wouldn't be in the social circles / position he was at the time if black.
Why couldn't Harry Potter be a Chinese girl? Because he wasn't written that way, and why should he be?
