Also, “Revolution” to wag their fingers at the violent, agitating leftists who were challenging the status quo oh-so rudely (during the year of the MLK riots and just before Stonewall, no less).

Then you remember that Paul McCartney supports Israel, just to add more oomph to the liberalism.

Yeah don’t you dare carry pictures with Mao on them despite the fact that he liberated tens of millions of people, because people won’t listen to you.

I’m convinced if Lennon was alive today he would be an absolutely insufferable lib. Paul is too worried about what people think of him to be too obnoxious about it.

I have no idea what they even meant by that line. Don’t carry pictures of Mao or you’re not going to make it? Mao, the actual person, was part of a successful revolution.

One for the hall of fame.

Right up there with “Shaq Misses Entire Second Half With Pulled Pork Sandwich.”

Also, this conclusion to a story about a former buffalo wing eating champion down on his luck:

“He’s still more than good enough to compete, but with this lifetime ban, there’s really nowhere for him to go,” says Rierden’s former trainer and IFOCE contender Rick “The Tummy” Mickelson. “Chris is like Icarus. He flew too close to the sun and then ate his own wings.”

They were called the Beatles because of John’s love of beating women

I moderately like The Beatles, but their social messaging and signaling is fucking stupid. Turns out, you need a whole lot fucking more than just love. Speaking of John - he particularly hated the concept of average people doing average things.

Yeah. He even had the balls to flippantly sing about it.

“Man, I used to slap women around. Kinda fucked up. Welp. Whaddya gonna do?”

I love that conservatives at the time thought their bowl cuts were far too long to wear on men and also their lyrics were the epitome of Satanic communist brain washing.

Heck, it even turns out that no one should base their personal philosophy on a song that’s just a series of tautologies. There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made? Thanks for the pep talk John Lennon!

While we are talking Beatles songs, is “She Loves You” from the point of view of an incel that got rejected by a girl in love with his friend? The yeah yeah yeahs are so flat and sarcastic. What a weird song to be their breakthrough hit.
