Finally I remember to do this! Here they are…
I hate to do this, but I must. The Beatles are spelled with an “A”. You know, because rock songs have “beat” not a “beet”. Yes, it’s silly. But it was the 60s.
Yeah, Amanda, but I’m too tired to care right now. I’ll read this again this afternoon and the hair on the back of my neck will raise. And that’s when it will get edited.
