Hi #UFOsky, my podcast, UFO Focus, is coming back after a hiatus in which my little family bought a house and moved from Boston to Plymouth, #NewHampshire (in case there's any other NH folks out there) Can't wait to talk more UFOs in the coming weeks and months!

Errant thoughts on #TheBeatles, continued ...
3: As a kid, I thought the later stuff — the psychedelic stuff — was deeper, more mature. But as I mature myself, I find that stuff sillier and sillier and instead find depth in the songs that, as a kid, I found silly!

#2: I've never liked George, but the older I get, the more I actively dislike him. F'n "Taxman?" And don't get me started on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." More like gently strokes your ego, bro.

For no reason at all, I'm going to share some errant thoughts on #TheBeatles.
#1: So many of their songs, especially the later ones, are just ... stupid, lyrically. Almost cringeworthy. Especially John's! Even though, I kind of love John.

I'm not saying that the greatest example of how the Internet has failed society is that no one likes the jokes I post late at night ...

I'm afraid that when I die, they'll tell me exactly how much of my life I spent wearing big headphones but nothing was on.
