Good luck

anyway stay safe. This virus may be a boon to MGWCC since there is no sports to watch on TV and we can't go anywhere.
Thanks for the welcome - I don't really bother with the meta anymore. This one I looked at just because I would spot a Beatles song if it was easily apparent. But its just not an itch I need to scratch.Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 2:34 pm

My apologies. My comment wasn’t intended as a jab at Bob, but rather an anecdote to show how The Beatles’ music has transcended multiple generations. Either way, the next round is on me. Guinness for everyone!Tom Shea wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 2:27 am"Now for all the Gen X'ers and beyond, for those of us who were in high school and college when the Beatles hit the scene, don't make us feel older than we already are by "I listened to them with my parents".

The Beatles had been broken up for several years by the time my parents were in high school, so they never really listened to any of their music outside of “Sgt. Pepper’s” and “Abbey Road”. The “Love” compilation album came out when I was in high school and really got me interested in The Beatles, so I ended up buying the complete box set of all their albums in college. Funnily enough, I ended up introducing my parents to some of their older stuff (particularly, “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver”), and now we frequently have The Beatles playing whenever we get together for cocktails.
Good music is good music, no matter the genre or generation it came from.

That is a most evil tweak at the cruise director. Best to make a sacrifice to the muggle god straight away. Guinness seems to be the drink of choice here.
No offense taken. I get much more than that from my kids.Lucas S wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 4:50 pmMy apologies.

I walked right into that one given the Title of the Puzzle.

Hope I didn't throw you or anyone off... "elegant/clever/how the heck..." would probably have been better. I used "diabolical" because of the earworm that instantly made a home in my head. My coworker and I used to do that to each other... like I'd walk behind him sitting at his desk, whistling "Billy Don't Be a Hero," only to find myself 20 minutes later asking "Now why am I singing that ridiculous "Seasons in the Sun" in my head?", only to look over at him laughing.Jazzvibist wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 1:24 pm Ashore since Thursday but only virtually because Al’s “Diabolical” comment persuaded me to hold off submitting it until today. I have a guess at why he made the comment and hope he explains it after the deadline.
Thank you for the nightmares, Al! Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods were from my neighborhood, literally, and my 5 elder sisters played that P.O.S. until the vinyl turned white, then bought new albums & singles.
