“The first session for what was to become the significant album Revolver. Here was a set of recordings destined to rock the rock world, and change the course of popular music. And its momentous closing song ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ was the first to be taped. What a start!...”

Story on radio about rock concert in Serbia where they were protesting against NATO, asking for peace. No one protested against Milosevic. (They were having a “safe” protest.)
Listened to interview with Mary Schmich, the Tribune columnist, whose graduation speech column was used as a lyric for a techno groove. I like the idea that anything can be used as a lyric. Obviously someone is using the old Lennon technique of getting ideas from a newspaper.

Should we always write what we feel? Not necessarily. When I'm feeling well and I have a lot of energy it doesn't necessarily mean I have to write things in a major key. Many times when I'm feeling good I write the darkest music, and I suppose it works the other way around when you don't feel well and you start writing things in major keys. I've done that but I don't think it made me feel any better. That’s more of a listening thing. #riff
