the beatles white album
i'm getting once again into the genius of the beatles white album. about half the songs i don't listen to very often, but the other half are genius, amazing. i was inspired to go in this direction by garrison keilor today singing "i will" which i found out once again is on the white album. i tend to forget something like that if i ignore an album for a while, but then i get back to what i love. there are certain stereolab albums that i love as much as this album, including the cobra one. the truth is that there is love in these songs by the beatles. sometimes they love their audience enough to tell the truth in the form of an artistic work, though later they backpedal and cover up their tracks and deny whatever they were trying to say in the lyrics and music. on the one hand all interpretation is subjective, on the other hand we have social conventions about how to interpret something. objective vs. purely subjective. but then, how many people are there? if you say 6 billion people, i will hit you three times with a silly stick.
