I'm hardly breaking new ground in saying The Beatles contain multitudes. In their decade of existance they were: The German hooker bedding rockabilly cover band, the original boy band, the song writing movie stars, the Dylan worshipping balladeers, the hard rocking guitar band, the studio experimenting acid heads, and finally the burnt out, strung out and hung over men trying to find their bearings. But of all those, Revolver Beatles have always been my favorite, and this is probably my favorite of John's songs on the album.
I like The Beatles most when they were honestly a band, writing and playing together, still playing live shows. You can hear all of them at their best here: John's ability to weave an acerbic sensibility into a rock melody, Paul's boyant bass line and even more boyant harmony vocals, George's searing circular guitar work, and Ringo's...okay, well maybe Ringo played the drums, who would know?
