Russians

 

Riff based on the 11/3/1914 Wittgenstein diary entry, an interesting juxtaposition of Steely Dan and WWI. "Russians making advances. Hears cannon thunder and sees the lightning flash."

[50 years later, there’s a popular musical group that plays electric instruments, emerging on the heels of the next World War, making effete music].

11/3/1965 (Beatles Recording Sessions—"Michelle") A day spent recording this beautiful new Paul McCartney ballad….George asked me what I thought of the Beatles singing a song with French lyrics and I got the impression that with me being a young chap he was sounding me out, perhaps because they weren't too sure themselves. I said it sounded very pleasant, which it certainly did!"
