But there's this angel in her eyes that tells such desperate lies, and all you want to do is believe her

If we have time, the kids and I will continue our educational journey this evening with the DVD Time-Life History of Rock and Roll series. Tonight is Soul, and I wonder if Ruby’s patience will allow her to sit through more than 30 minutes of rock and roll that fails to mention The Beatles.

Jack, of course, will eat it up, and that’s great as there is a lot of vital and life-changing (at least for me) footage and music that was a big part of my education as well.

I have not watched these episodes in a while, and as for tonight’s Soul extravaganza, I can’t remember if the song below is part of it.

If it’s not, it should be.



Jesus was an only son

Last night the kids and I were watching the Time-Life History of Rock and Roll. They’re big on anything Beatles, and it’s heartening that they (especially Jack) are interested in something so important to me.

So, we see the strange saga of John’s "we’re bigger than Jesus” flap, but Ruby mishears it, saying, “well, of course, the Beatles are bigger than Cheez-Its, silly”

That’s a VERY big admission from her, as Cheez-Its are near the top of her snack list.
