Netscape must die. But, ooh, hey, Beatles rant!

Well, kidlets, I had a big update for you, but Netscape crashed before I got done with it. Everything was lost. I don't feel like rewriting it, so you shall quite possibly never see exactly the message I intended for you. Suffice it to say that it was full of links to various Amish sites (biggest oxymoron ever) and had a longish Beatles rant at the end.

Here's the one link that remains, courtesy of the Copy function. Enjoy your Amish FAQ.

My Beatles rant was basically as follows:

I wanted to end this update with a link to a website that was entirely devoted to John Lennon's bizarre Amish phase (either Amish or rabbi--whichever you prefer). However, apparently no such thing exists.

Not only that, but apparently I am the only person in the world who remembers it. I can't find the picture that I wanted to link to anywhere. As I recall, it was inside the jacket of one of the later albums (Let it Be? Abbey Road?). My Beatles' CD collection has mysteriously disappeared, so I can't find any trace of the photo. I think it was from Abbey Road, as the infamous cover art would suggest that John's hair was about right at that time. Am I crazy? I tried looking for the jacket art of Abbey on the web, but it is not to be found. (I suspect that that is because the Beatles are notoriously web-unfriendly.)

Note to Paul and Ringo: be nice to your fans. At least be a little less halfassed when it comes to the official Beatles website. The site sucks. Of course, what can one expect from Paul? Ringo, though, ought to know better.

On a related note, don't bother going to www.paulsucks.com; it's a big listing of porn sites. However, www.paulsucks.org is an available domain name. Someday I shall treat you all to an essay entitled "When Paul Started Sucking, Founded Wings, and Did Crappy Duets with Michael Jackson: The Sad Tale of the Man Responsible for Such Genius Works of Art as 'Yesterday' and 'Eleanor Rigby.'" Paul, Paul, Paul...ya big sellout.

I miss George.

Someday I shall found sites that explore both John's infamous (at least to me) Amish phase and Paul's inexplicable suckiness. Ah, such dreams I have.
