BIG LIE From Wiki - "The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler
when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie
so *colossal* that no one would believe that someone "could have the
impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

Absolutely unacceptable that it loads the audio (and to an extent the
video) before the title.

I was curious what it was but didn't need to be deafened by John's guitar.

This group isn't a discotheque. And you are not the only offender.

For me a 5 second commercial loads first giving time to
see the title of the video before it plays.

I believe that was deliberate, considering the theme of
the song I've heard it was meant to sound like a machine gun.
Opening shot for the revolution.

That video was shot for the Smothers Brothers Show in Oct of 68
and was probably the last time the group did a live performance
aside from their rooftop farewell a couple months later.
And that rooftop session was more like a rehearsal than a
organized performance.

That video shows the first US screening of the song and
also shows the band at the height of their 'powers' imho
And made for a fitting farewell considering Lennon's
dedication to social issues.

Revolutions aren't a staple of science fiction?

And isn't the concepts of science fiction and on-topic
a contradiction in terms>? Science fiction constrained
by clearly defined walls? Can't do this, can't do that~

How can anything evolve without diversity?

I admit that I am probably the worst offender in that regard.

But any Canadians in this group would likely be interested by the fact that
Russ Thornberry's _Rosaline_ has finally appeared on YouTube.

And you wonder if she loves you
Or if you're insane
For she fills your head with thoughts
Your senses can't sustain

Hmm. Strangely, the title of the piece, although visible in the page header,
is blank on the page.

In any case, while that is unfamiliar to me, one song I do remember
fondly expressed somewhat similar sentiments:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kxgcGvJwEw

Live performance by Dame Shirley Bassey, so the piece
should be easy to guess.
