Anyone know the story behind the song? Well, in case you don't I'll tell you. When the Beatles were in India with the Maharishi, there was a woman at the camp named Prudence who had some sort of illness. She would stay in her room for days at a time in a depressed state. John Lennon wrote the song for her.

The Siouxie & The Banshees version is one of the best Beatles covers ever.

Y'know those eerie coincidences we seem to have? Well, I was humming this song before I went to bed last night. And I haven't listened to it in months.

This is weird...
(yes, I love the tune, too...)
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

It's as good as any great Beatles song.

I've heard that song so many times and for so many years, it's hard for me to even think of it as a recording.  I just can't be critical of great Beatles songs.

I like I'm only sleeping and "fixing a hole"... I can totally relate to both.

The Beatles are fucking awesome.  I haven't heard a Beatles song I didn't love.  Need we say more?   :-D

My favorite Beatles song is probably 'You Never Give Me Your Money'.  Killer, thru & thru!

The White Album is my favorite, but I love them all. A Hard Days Night and Rubber Soul are excellent as well.

And I Love Her from A Hard Days Night is such a great song.
