I had to post this whole 1998 interview Ken Sharp for Goldmine did with George Martin in ‘98 because there’s so much there, but wanted to provide some excerpts as well!

Regarding George Martin’s “In My Life” project and the amount of John songs on it:

Goldmine: Your choice of Beatles songs is unique, not all the standards like “Yesterday.”

George Martin: Deliberately. Paul said to me ‘You’ve got a hell of a lot of Lennon songs on this album’ (laughs). And I said to him, ‘Well, Paul you did all the ones that people like hearing, you’ve done all of the very, very popular ones, things like “Michelle” and “Fool on the Hill,” “Hey Jude,” “Yesterday.” If you look at the performances of Lennon/McCartney songs, you will find that a good 70 percent of them if not more are Paul McCartney compositions because people want to hear those rather than John’s. John once said to me ‘Look, let’s face it George, I don’t expect to walk into a bar in Spain and hear someone whistling “I am the Walrus.” And that summed it up. That’s why I went for the ones I did. I would have liked to have done “Glass Onion” for example, they’re interesting. I put in a few of Paul’s as well.

#George Martin #John Lennon #Paul McCartney #very interesting that GM saw such a difference in how often Paul songs were performed vs. John's! In my personal experience hearing Beatles #songs at public performances that wasn't the case. A lot of 'Across the Universe' and 'Lucy'#but that's also possibly because I'm thinking of a show at a planetarium

so far my verdict is that the worst part about baldur's gate 3 is the 5e

#baldur's gate 3 #everything i'm enjoying is either an improvement on 5e or something no human gm would ever be able to do #or the completely original stuff #the actor's performances and character writing

today in our motw game, when i gave the players an opportunity to decide a main NPC's fate, their IMMEDIATE first response was "well it should be [that NPC's] choice then. consent, bitch"

which is FANTASTIC, i love it, i wish there were a million more like them

but now i, the GM, have to make that choice and the reason i gave the choice to them was because i couldn't decide in the first place!!!

#ragsycon exclusive #motw #monster of the week #this is about mark/dogman #they wanted to get rid of dogman and keep mark alive and the choices they have are:#a) kill him with a magic dagger that will seal the dogman away and then perform a resurrection on mark #thereby completing our Wronged's revenge arc and also resulting in a dogman-less mark #or b) doing a ritual that will fuse mark & dogman's souls into one which mark will have control over #thereby ending the cycle of violence and making mark into an asset for the team as dogmark #and they (the players) are leaning towards option b but their characters were 100% ''yeah he gets to choose. we'll run with it.''#which is great that they feel comfortable enough with their agency as players that they can just say 'nah the GM can choose for us'#but i am BAD at DECISIONS

Axl did a Freddie Mercury tribute after he passed

i'm assuming you're talking about the tribute concert, in which yes and it was a brilliant performance! literally everyone who performed at that concert did amazingly, though i'm biased to say that george michael did the best out of anyone that night.

quite frankly it was a miracle gnr got invited at all due to axl + everyone else's past comments in OIAM and on stage/in interviews but i'm still glad they could go to honour an absolute amazing talent and inspirational artist as well as raise money for an amazing goal!

i'm sure axl also felt very honoured to perform on stage with some of his all time idols, even if it is sooo axl to not turn up to rehearsals with elton john and go for a nap instead.

xxx

#srsly everyone should watch this concert #or at least gm's somebody to love #gotta love roger taylor's attempt to solve homophobia though by making axl and elton perform together #voicemails 📞

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 212/?

George Michael - Freedom! '90 (1990)

"But today the way I play the game

Is not the same, no way;

Think I'm gonna get myself happy.

I think there's something you should know,

I think it's time I told you so,

There's something deep inside of me -

There's someone else I've got to be.

Take back your picture in a frame,

Take back your singing in the rain,

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man."

#favourite lyrics #george michael #freedom!#freedom! '90 #1990 #listen without prejudice vol. 1 #known variously as just Freedom! or with the '90 addition to differentiate it from the Wham track by the same title #an absolute anthem from Michael which became one of his signature tracks in live performance (he'd perform it at the 2012 Olympic closing #ceremony‚ among other high profile moments). the third single from Listen Without Prejudice‚ the song is an outlier on that album #there's a lot to take into account contextually here so forgive me if i go off a little. in 1990 George was still (as unlikely as it may #seem in 2022) publicly recognised as a straight pop idol and sex idol for teen girls everywhere. although his homosexuality was well known #in the industry he wouldn't be outed until the end of the decade (against his choice). privately tho here was a gay man dealing with the #fallout of the AIDS epidemic‚ still at its height. he was losing friends and colleagues. the following year he'd meet Anselmo Feleppa and #fall in love; the next year Feleppa would discover he was HIV positive‚ and the year after that he would die. these were dark‚ awful times #and gay culture was reflecting that. after the pop disco triumph of 1987's Faith‚ Listen was a sombre reckoning with modern life‚ with the #state of George's career‚ with his conflict over his personal life and his fears and guilt around AIDS and the rock star life he'd been #living. the album is a stripped down largely acoustic affair which reflected the artist's subdued mood; Freedom is the exception. an out #and out dance track‚ it's also perhaps the most openly and brazenly personal track‚ at least lyrically. on one level GM was making his #statement on his future and his art: Wham was dead‚ the easy pop rocker was dead‚ George Michael was here to stay. with barbed shots at MTV #and a pointed message to the mourning Wham fans to get over it and move on‚ this is a mission statement and a fuck you rolled into one #you don't like it? i don't care. this is me‚ sings George‚ and I want to be me. it's also very much a coming out song only a coming out #song that works in secret; again‚ publicly‚ GM was straight. it's hard not to be moved by his lyrics ('I think it's time I told you so') as #he nakedly equates honesty with happiness; he talks about the early years ('I guess it was good enough for me') but also his need to move #forwards; a very literal and metaphorical change of outfits. there's no direct allusion to his sexuality but the hints are there #('the way i play the game is not the same'). it's a powerful‚ deeply personal assertion of self‚ and all the sadder for the fact that it #couldn't (or wouldn't) be the whole truth. lyrically GM keeps a tightly wound rhyme scheme that at times becomes almost hypnotically #rhythmic ('toDAY the WAY i PLAY the GAME is not the SAME') and take on an almost prayer like chant quality. George wrote and produced the #entire album almost single handed and never was his wealth of talent or breadth of ability clearer. this was an artist at their very prime #who nonetheless was struggling with issues of identity and personality and place within popular culture; but who translated all that doubt #and pain and worry into one of the best albums and one of the all time greatest queer anthems of a generation. rip George.

My conscience is too powerful sometimes... I felt bad for waiting until the last possible second to drop the news of me leaving to my office manager. (My general manager, however, can still get screwed with a baseball bat covered in rusty barbed wire.) So I told her today that I was leaving at the end of August.

To which she smiled and said, "Same."

So now we have a friendly competition to see who tells him to go fuck himself first.

#max is a god in their own right #apparently she went to our gm asking for help with income due to inflation and rising gas prices #every single manager has a gas card except her #and he told her that her performance was slacking so he wouldn't help her #plus she did get confirmation that we're getting paid chump change compared to every other dealership in the state #so yeah...the game is on
