From Planetaria Obscura March 2016
I fancy myself as a bit of a Beatles scholar.
Slightly too young to be buying records until the very end of the Beatles reign, I’ve spent the years since trying to catch up, reading countless books about them and of course wearing out the LPs. How is my planetarium like the Beatles? Well, I’ve read that the studio engineers sat around waiting endlessly while the Beatles ‘got their ideas together’. Surely my aged barn feels the same way as it watches me spend yet another year endlessly rearranging things till it just seems ’right’.
The Beatles wrote songs in a wide variety of styles, and I can’t seem to settle on any given configuration, show, or even star ball in my planetarium. The Beatles and I both have screamed HELP!
But there are ways that we differ as well.
I’m not a day tripper.
I never let it be.
And rest assured that no matter how dark it gets in there, I decidedly do NOT want to hold your hand.
