Hi,

few cover versions exceed that of the original hit - the Jimi Hendrix cover of Bob Dylan's " All Along the Watchtower " being a rare exception.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmGFFJtkDXA

But this recent cover of " Nowhere Man " deserves an honorable mention in my book.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F2sn2rQiXo

Small point:

The original had John and George playing the solo break in unison.
The Twins substituted a 12 string instead.
Brilliant.

The Twins cover the Beatles VERY well. And, considering they're singing English as a second language, even more impressive.

Is that like an Asian version of YouTube? The layout/interface
is quite similar, but, I can't even unmute without being asked
to sign in. So I just watch them cover the Beatles in mime! :(

Poor little dumbfuck shitstain has no idea what "communist" means. It's a
word he heard a grown-up use, but it's the same as "poopy head" to him.

The 'blocked' was referring to YOUTUBE. The bilibili link I posted is
the sole place where you CAN see the video.

Bugger. That must be a recent innovation as it worked fine the other
days without the Sign Up shit.

Fortunately I have downloaded both. The Abbey Road one is much lower
resolution than what it was on YouTube before it got pulled.

The Queen one is still on YouTube, search < castellano bohemian > should
find it.

I've popped them up on my Dropbox for a day or two, for whoever is
interested.

FWIW I just tried the bilibili thing again, ignored all the pop-ups, hit
play, and it played.

Yeah so funny people can't tell the difference between a corrupt party
dictatorship like Russia and China, and communism or socialism. If Trump
had gotten his way USA would be under his dictatorship too. And half the
population would be happy being like Russia and China as long as they
could say it wasn't communism by denying health care to the poor.
Russian and Chinese elites and rulers have 90% of the wealth and all the
power, just like in the USA though. And that's nothing new! LOL.

They have a lot of heritage in common. IMO, it's important to understand
the basic mechanism - power vacuum - that creates corruption.

Putin has moved from catching one falling knife to catching another.
China? Form Maoism to some tribute-band version of capitalism.

> If Trump
> had gotten his way USA would be under his dictatorship too.

Nah. The whole thing got away from Trump. There's "American Dharma", in
which Errol Morris grills Steve Bannon.

Being *elected* means it got away from Trump.

When the going gets tough, Bannon always says the same thing - "there's
going to be a revolution in this country."

In the harsh light of the arena , both Trump and Bannon were weighed and
found wanting. I for one am shocked it went as well as it did.

Trump isn't a theoretical person. He's a performance-person. It's the
symbol completely overloading what the symbol represents.

American invented *two* things - prison and snake oil. Maybe basketball.

Guess which one this is?

Gosh, I wish we could all just vote and make healthcare happen :) We are
so tangled up in ourselves with it.

The elites are particularly impotent right now. There's only the wealth
left. I can noly tell you that for me, being more wealthy would mean
nothing. I'm most un-wealthy but if I were, there's nothing interesting
I could do with it.

Meanwhile, technology continues apace, making wealth less and less relevant.

Except in the form of land. So there's this mad scramble for it, and it
will self-destruct. Or it won't. It remains to be seen.

You all are waaaay overthinking this. "Communist" is just
an expression I use when I can't/am not allowed to do
something!

Like when YouTube blocks access to a certain video, I'll
call them "Commy Tube".

Yes, you use the word, but you're too stupid to know what it actually
means. I think most readers are familiar with what a stupid dumbfuck you
are, but you do like to brag about it.

And of course, calling that "communism" is stupud, that's all. It's what
everyone expected from a retarded short-bus dumbfuck like you. You
continue to prove that you're an idiot. A very stupid shit-for-brains
