It's absolutely mind-blowing to me how much I learned from studying the Beatles voraciously from such a young age.  I pored over every lyric and every liner note, struggling to understand and make sense of it all.  Looking back on it now, in my mind's eye I can almost literally see my own young mind expanding with each new discovery.

As but two small examples gleaned from reliving "I'm So Tired" and "Rocky Raccoon," I vividly recall learning about Sir Walter Raleigh's connection to tobacco through the former, as well as what the British term "git" meant; and learning what a Gideon Bible was--and the fact that they were always in hotel rooms--from the latter.

Inspired by this discussion, this morning I put the [I]White Album[/I] on the iPod for my morning jog and it was great company, like having an old friend along.

Oh, and I'll give another plug for [U][B]everyone[/B][/U] to see the Beatles documentary out now, [I]Eight Days a Week[/I].  It's tremendous.
