Words for the wise from the mouth of a fool.

Since finding it via a link on Microcontent News a couple weeks ago, I've been enjoying listening to some of these tunes. Be sure to check out "Vacation" and "Going Through the Motions".

On another musical note, for a couple months I've had a live King Crimson cover of "Free as a Bird", and when it would occasionally come up in random rotation I would snicker along with the audience when Adrian Belew seemingly forgot the lyrics.

Then tonight I got a copy of the original John Lennon tape used by the rest of the Beatles to record "Free as a Bird" for Anthology--and I understood. Belew wasn't covering the Beatles; he was covering Lennon--the missing lyrics are exactly where Lennon wasn't singing them on his demos (which apparently have been floating around since the mid-'70's, though they weren't released until the '90s.)

It's a minor revelation, but it reminds me that you should always be ready to alter your judgement of a situation when new information becomes available.
