  1. The wait is over: the Beatles will release their final song, "Now and Then," on Nov. 10. Read an interview with remixer Giles Martin about the decades-in-the-making parting gift, as well as remixed, expanded 'Red' and 'Blue' albums. MORGAN ENOS |GRAMMYS/OCT 26, 2023 - 09:16 AM The Beatles and grief have always been fundamentally intertwined. When John Lennon and Paul McCartney met as teenagers, they bonded over losing their mothers early on. Their manager, Brian Epstein, died in 1967 at only 32; as McCartney put it during the ensuing Get Back sessions, "Daddy's gone away now, you know, and we're on our own at the holiday camp." Lennon's murder in 1980, at just 40 years old, imbued their story with bottomless longing — not just between this band of brothers, but a world that had to process the Beatles were never coming back. George Harrison's death from cancer, in 2001, was another catastrophic blow. But the Beatles' message, among many, was that the light prevails. And from "In My Life" to "Eleanor Rigby" to "Julia" to "Let it Be" and beyond, almost nobody made sorrow sound so beautiful. And "Now and Then," billed as "the last Beatles song" — yes, the AI-assisted one you heard about throughout 2023 — is liable to move you to the depths of your soul.

  10. Almost slipped by, but happy 80th to George Roger Waters. Thank you for all the past music. May you find peace some day, and I'll leave it at that.
  11. No, the Homemade Vanilla - I actually don't usually eat it, I buy it for my dogs and give them each a scoop at night for dessert. But drunken times call for desperate measures (and I do alternate between the two, this week the dice just came up "homemade"...).
  12. End of the long weekend drunk food, Creamy creations homemade vanilla with a couple of H‑E‑B oatmeal raisin cookies nuked in the microwave and crumbled on top
  13. Agreed, Dream Weaver is almost a cliche at this point but Love is Alive will always kick ass , remember hearing it blasting out of my AM radio when I was a kid
