Revolution 9
It was a hassle, but worth it, getting to and from Tanglewood in Lenox, MA on Sunday.
Audio File
Note to MIH:
When you get the package from Amazon, plug the “one-to-one” RCA cable from the digital audio output on your TV into this side of the adapter box. Ignore the connector labeled “Toslink.”
Connect the red-and-white “two-to-two” RCA cable on this side of the box into one of the Bose Wave changer’s two aux inputs. Then plug in the box’s power adapter and turn on the TV.
Headquarters without the quarters
Here is another must-see, full-length movie on YouTube. The Monkees in “Head”. It starts with the sublime “Porpoise Song”, written by Carole King and the late Gerry Goffin.
And, yes, that is the ubiquitous Sixties fixture Vito Scotti who shows up 20 minutes into the movie.
Bucket Brigade
Before the ice bucket challenge there was the fire bucket challenge! As demonstrated here by the Beatles. George could do a good Stan Laurel face.
