Sun did a reversal of "Don't Stop Running", the last song on the new Fireman album. As Taf relates: Maccareport.com is saying that a backwards message exists at the end of the song "Don't Stop Running" on the new Fireman album. The song, which runs over ten minutes, features about two minutes of silence followed by some interesting ambient music. The track ends with a backwards whisper. When you reverse it, it says, "Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air."
This Maccareport "exclusive" is credited to someone named Peter H., but the web site is run by Jorie Gracen, author of "Paul McCartney: I Saw Him Standing There." Readers of Maccareport are advised to go to Internet Anagram Maker site to decipher Paul's secret message, which they think may be directed at Heather Mills. iamaphoney.blogspot.com/2008/11/warmer-than-sun-cooler-than-air.htmlSun's reversal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTGXT1EGPSQ---Reversed Lyrics---
Warmer than the sun, cooler than the air.
[After the silence in the song while played in reverse and very faintly is heard "I Am, I Am, I Am, Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun"]
I Am The Sun I Am The Sun I Am The Last I Am The Last I Am The Sun I absolutely... am the last I Am The Last
I Am The Sun I Am The Sun I Am The Last I Am The Last I Am the Sun I absolutely... am the last
I Am The Sun I Am The Sun I Am The Sun I Am The Sun
I Am The Last I Am The Last I Am The Sun I absolutely... am the last I Am The Last
Here in the dark Some see Some see Some shall see I Am The Last
Some shall see How long can they ask? In the dark

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers after guaranteeing $306 billion of Citigroup Inc. debt yesterday. The pledges, amounting to half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up 15 months ago.Read MoreOK..

And there was a posting somewhere (from me, I think) about John having had surgery to make himself look like Paul after Paul's death, based on a YouTube correspondence I had with someone who was hinting that they were Sean Lennon, and quoting what Yoko had told him. Or Paul's presumed death, I should say. John may have had the surgery, thinking that Paul had, in fact, died, and he was responsible some how. Lots of room for the fake Lennon to make an entrance. Yoko (alledgedly) said that she was sorry that the fake Lennon, aka Billy Shears, who was also her husband, had been killed at the Dakota, but was glad that the real John was still living as Paul in London. (approximating her words) Remember he was supposedly from Germany? (his Youtube profile) He also wrote in awkward English reminiscent of Sun King, but I'm not saying there was a connection there. Didn't he also invite you to talk with him in a place that turned out to be where Sean was playing on that date? I always thought one of two things would happen if you went: Either Sean would say who TF are you, or your mind would be blown.. Heh, I still can't decide which would have been the most likely outcome. Btw P(D)enny, you are right about the similarity to the Lennon nose.

Mccartney's Concerns About Credit Crunchwww.postchronicle.com/news/entertainment/tittletattle/article_212188196.shtmlSir Paul McCartney is so worried about the current global financial crisis, he's called in his accountant to ensure he doesn't lose his millions.
The former Beatles star, who is said to be worth as much as $1.2 billion (£824 million) was forced to hand $36.45 million (£24.3 million) to ex-wife Heather Mills in their divorce settlement earlier this year (08).
And now he's called in his financial advisor to make sure he doesn't lose any more money as the world faces a recession.
He says, "I actually did phone my guy up and say, 'How exposed are we?' He said, 'You're as exposed as everyone - if the banks all go broke'.
"But generally speaking, as far as the way we do business, there's not a huge speculative exposure."
But the singer isn't just worried about his own fortune - he insists he is "unhappy" at how the crisis is affecting other people.

Hey found it, so since you asked.. www.jojoplace.org/Shoebox/Poolies/Guess it could be described as Rutlesque, who in turn were Beatlesque.. Two degrees of separation from the Beatles sound if that makes sense.. Thanks again Pennylane, wherever you are.

Hah, I swear I wasn't thinking of Ben Stein when I used that word. I kinda liked his game show, can't stand it when he opens his mouth about the economy.. So clueless it makes me think he got the answers fed to him.
As for the guest board, much like the ruckus that affected the RA board a while back, a similar thing happened to the guest board in its heyday, and people were divided about it.. So many upset people it was best to kill it. Having an open password (and an easy one to type I would think) forces one to "opt in".

It seems the guest forum posts are still showing up in the last 100. Yes, once you've entered the password they will insert themselves into the 100 most recent posts. You can either a) not enter the password, or b) quit your browser and restart it.

In case you didn't see it because the guest board has a (albeit open) password:
Opened the section to guest posting but.. with an open password so the "last 100 posts" folks don't have to be bothered with it if they don't want. (in case it gets too crazy, maybe won't anyway, but...)
PW = 1234
I always liked having a guest board "on site" rather than having to shuttle to another forum, but understand how the last time it was open the rowdiness made some upset. Guess I should have done it this way in the first place, as only those interested in it need see it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_CooperDuring an interview that Cooper himself conducted with Ozzy Osbourne on his radio show Nights with Alice Cooper in 2007,[58] Cooper again affirmed his debt of gratitude to these bands, and to The Beatles in particular. During their discussion, Cooper and Osbourne bemoaned the often inferior quality of songwriting coming from contemporary rock artists. Cooper said that in his opinion the cause of the problem was that certain modern bands "had forgotten to listen to The Beatles".[59]

Unseen Beatles Photos Unveiled After Four DecadesCan anyone spare 500 bucks? This is definitely a rare and unusual item, as photos from the recording of Pepper are few and far between. www.prweb.com/releases/beatles/book/prweb1587814.htmwww.youtube.com/watch?v=GPF6Za-blY8Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 11, 2008 -- A new book reveals over 200 never-published photos of the Beatles in the recording studio. In February 1967, Life magazine photographer Henry Grossman spent an evening with the Beatles while they worked on their ground-breaking Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album in London's famous Abbey Road recording studio. Though he took more than 250 photos that evening, only a handful of the images were ever published. The remainder have spent the last four decades safely tucked away in Mr. Grossman's archive. The entire collection has finally been published in a new limited-edition book, Kaleidoscope Eyes: A Day in the Life of Sgt. Pepper (Curvebender Publishing).
"In 1967, I'd known the Beatles for several years," says Mr. Grossman. "Every time I'd go to London I would be in touch with them and visit them. On this particular trip, Life magazine told me they were doing a story on the group, but they were having difficulty getting to them. So I arranged to bring the Life reporter to the studio with me so he could conduct an interview."
Over the course of the session (during which the Beatles recorded "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"), Mr. Grossman filled ten rolls of film, capturing the group hard at work. The resulting photos are remarkably candid; the Beatles themselves appear oblivious to the camera, seemingly unaware that they were being photographed at all. "I went to the recording session as a friend," explains Mr. Grossman, "so they were comfortable with me. I was not there as a typical photographer, where they felt they had to pose certain ways. And my approach as a photojournalist was to become a speck, a fly on the wall. I wouldn't draw any attention to myself."
Beatles historian and author, Kevin Ryan, explains the significance of the photos: "Not only is it rare to find so many unpublished photos of the Beatles -- beautiful ones at that -- but this collection shows the group at an important turning-point in their career. They had played their last ever concert just six months prior. They had given up public performing to spend more time in the recording studio, and these pictures capture them at the beginning of this new period of intense experimentation and creativity. The studio had become their sanctuary; few people were allowed inside those walls to actually watch them work, and that makes these images that much more intimate. There is an almost voyeuristic sense of actually being in the room. This is what you would have seen if you had been there."
One series of photos shows Paul McCartney and John Lennon, side by side at the piano, working out arrangement ideas for the song. A lyric sheet, written in John's hand, rests in front of them. Producer George Martin leans over the piano, listening intently, while band-mates George Harrison and Ringo Starr gather around to familiarize themselves with the new song taking shape. Eventually, the quartet move to their respective instruments and continue the search for the right sounds and approach, a trial-and-error process that lasts until almost 2:00 AM. The floor of the studio is strewn with vintage guitars and amplifiers.
Amidst the photos of the band at work, Mr. Grossman also captured moments of socializing and relaxation. Paul McCartney's father visited the session, and there are several photos of the elder McCartney chatting with his rock star son (the familial resemblance is evident and striking). John Lennon, wearing a long cape and his trademark spectacles, reads from a book of poetry, and, at one point, Paul takes a break to shave in the middle of the studio. Several of the Beatles' close friends visit to observe the session, while a group of young fans camp out near the studio door, hoping for a brief glimpse of their idols.
"The wonderful thing to me about this book," says Mr. Grossman, "is that the pictures are laid out chronologically. So you see the progression as the evening went on till past midnight. It's almost like leaning over their shoulders as they're creating this piece of work. You're right there in the recording room with the engineers, and you're leaning over the piano as Paul and John are trying out melodies and lines on the piano. I think that's marvelous."
The book, published by Curvebender Publishing, presents the entire collection of photos in a deluxe, limited-edition volume, with commentary by Mr. Grossman and others. Limited to 1,967 copies, each hand-numbered book is signed by the photographer and accompanied by four prints and a reproduction of an original contact sheet. The entire package is housed in a clamshell case.
Kaleidoscope Eyes: A Day in the Life of Sgt. Pepper is currently available only at Curvebender's website, www.curvebender.com.

Yeah, this is the second Sirius reference I've heard with regard to Obama. Talking about a dog in the press conference could be construed as a stretch I suppose, but perhaps a little symbolism worked in. Concurrent with that, we have "two" presidents in a sense, as the president elect is being shown around etc., but the current president is being already portrayed/perceived as being irrelevant, sort of the the smaller, fainter star in the Sirius binary system if you will.

Tempting, as The Daily Mirror was THE paper that kept an eye on the Beatles over the course of their career. The book "The Beatles Files" is a collection of their exclusive photos.

Well, it does make one wonder about that "set up to fail" possibility when you consider the Palin choice. Because, anyone with two functioning brain cells could have figured out how that would be received by a certain section of the populace which was all set to vote for McCain. Energized the "base", well terrific, but they were energized anyway. A woman? "Just because she's a woman", if that was the thought process, was insulting to a great many women. Whether it was or not, it was perceived that way, and perception has as much power or more than the real intent. Total has been working tirelessly to keep us informed about Obama, did your best.. I'm curious, were you a McCain supporter, or are you rejecting the whole Democorp/Republicorp paradigm? I always figured you for that type of guy? I didn't see any unearthing of any McCain dirty laundry, so I suspect not. Why a lifelong Republican voted for Obama: market-ticker.org/archives/645-Before-You-Vote,-Read-This.html
