A political bridge?

50 years? fuckest thou me! And it's 50 years since the Beatles split up! You've got to be in late middle age to remember them! Unbelievabubble!

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Tempus does indeed fugit.

A great song though and nice to read some of the history behind it. I knew about the strained relationship between S & G, but not so much about the wider political/social context.

iBeing an incurable folkie, I always liked S&G, and, yes....I well remember that year when Bridge came out and the fab four split, even though I wasn't in my teens. S&G's album "Wednesday morning, 3 A.M." is a favourite of mine. Mind you, their original name as a duo, "Tom & Jerry", just wouldn't have be en the same....
