What that tells me is that neither you nor sweet_nothing appreciate or even respect what was good about I Am The Walrus in the first place! Lennon's quirky and idiosyncratic, disturbing, ominous, sinister, brooding depiction of a schizophrenic nightmare... ripped out, chewed up, and spat out as an Oasis cookie-cutter staple. A bastardization if ever there was one...

Lennon was very proud of I Am The Walrus and considered it one of his most innovative efforts. Due to this he was extremely pissed off and in disbelief when McCartney's Hello Goodbye was made an A-side single, with I Am The Walrus as the B-side. |
