The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I just rewatched "Get Back". I watched it shortly after it came out about 3 years ago.

It was interesting watching the creative process. I know the songs, and when they were struggling with the lyrics, I was "no, it's like this!". They're classic at this point, but even when they had the tune they were still trying to settle on lyrics.

It's a fun video/movie if you're a fan. By 1969 the Beatles were so well established that it's almost inconceivable to me that people would be complaining to the police about a free concert (mostly old guys in bowlers, from what I could see...and one older woman complaining it woke her up). I'm not a Swifty, but I could take a free concert for an hour or so (the Beatles were playing for 42 minutes). They identified the "bobbies" that showed up as a result of the complaints, put their names on screen when they showed up, and included them in the credits. Imagine forever being known as the officer that stopped a free Beatles concert. :-)

I hear tell that in a few days the "Beatles Anthology" is dropping. I'll be tuning in. It appears to be another documentary, but I don't want to "spoil" it, so I haven't looked it up except to see the release date.
