Ashore. I love almost all Beatles songs, but this is not one of my favorites. Methinks the shore will be crowded this week. To all my muggle friends—stay safe and stay well!

I'm counting myself on shore based on the only reasonable song it could be. But still trying to figure out all of the methodology.

I think I'm on shore, what other song could this be? Time to have some nostalgic Beatles listening this weekend. I was a bit young for them, I remember being a little kid, preschooler maybe, and the Beatles were on a TV show my parents were watching. There was some silliness where there were squeaky noises coming from behind a plant on the stage. I thought it was funny. A few years later I was a fan, just in time for the band to break up.

I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was a kid. I’m sorry I never made it out to one of their concerts.

Ashore, unless I'm completely mistaken which isn't completely unpossible.

Ashore. Love the song and the meta ties up nicely I think so will be interested to see what others nits are.

The first rabbit I saw took me right to a Beatles song.

I do wonder how our younger folks will do with this one.

I've been a lurker for a few weeks. Think I'm ashore. Unless I'm completely clueless, which if often the case.

I didn’t think of that, but you’re right!

Ashore. Very easy for a Gaffney meta but maybe it's because I love this song.
