I am one of the weird people who actually believe that John Lennon's world would work.. If there was not the inherent sense of entitlement, greed, and the need for reward... would that make me a realistic socialist?
Perfect song to indulge in after a break-up. And I had my share of these as a teenager and in my earliest twenties.
A festival favorite. I worked as a security guard at the Taubertal Open-Air in 2003, and was SO looking forward to HIM. Well, it was the time before Vile Vallo sobered up; the songs were unrecognizeable, and Vile Vallo would have fallen flat on his face without the microphon stand. This is a recording of 2005. (Hubby interlude: "Are you listening to horrible music again" - Me: "No, just hanging out with the girls listening to old stuff" - He: "But you should have outgrown that stuff YEARS ago!!" - Me: "Not really.." - Hubby: "So you're sitting there, listening to horrible music...")
Since I'm married to a wonderful bassonist, I get to listen to this one and many other beautiful bassoon concertos whenever he practices. He used to play this one for me often enough while being pregnant with Violet; she loved it when she was born. (Right now, however, she claims that she does NOT like this one!).
I wished you all could see Lily rock off to this one. When it comes to music, she couldn't be more her daddy's daughter. I see her standing on a stage with a guitar and a microphone 10 years from now! (I prefer the life versions, they are just so much more "raw"!!)
