. . . being in the other room and too lazy to get up and silence “Revolution Number Nine” when it came on, I gotta ask: is this the the most self-indulgent recording ever released?
Could anyone but the Beatles ever have had the chutzpah to actually, publicly release such a collection of random noise (while all were alive, not posthumously for John or George)? Mind you, I’m a huge Beatles fan . . . grew up on them. In fact,I think that makes the “joke-at-our-expense” impression that “R. No. 9” evokes all that harder to take. Almost like they were saying “are you fanboys and -girls so pathetic you’d buy literally anything we put out?”
