the way i look at it, all artists have a specific time in their career where they’re at their artistic peak. riding high off the massive success of The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Rum‘s film exudes the confidence that only a band who thinks, believes and acts like the best can make. a recommended watch for those haven’t seen it yet. see why below.
p.s. – it being the 80’s at the time, the female lead in Harlem’s New Voices of Freedom gospel choir totally schools bono. she should have been handed a record deal on a silver platter.
“hh’i’ll tell you hhwhat,” i can’t find the rest of this episode anywhere..

The Beatles – “Strawberry Fields Forever” (Love Version)
The Beatles – “I Me Mine” (Let It Be Naked Version)
an incredible remix done by the man, the myth, the legend George Martin and his son Giles. off the Love album released in November of ’06, as a soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show, “Strawberry Fields Forever” is built off an early acoustic demo made by John. Martin takes the song’s coda concept and runs with it, creating an incredible collage of themes from throughout The Beatles catalogue.
this brakes down the writing and recording process of “Strawberry Fields Forever” and here’s a killer link to get some of those early versions. speaking of their writing process, below is a highlight from their last original release.. the ‘Let It Be’ film, George Harrison’s “I Me Mine”. complete with John and Yoko making out and waltzing in fine fashion..
so how high were talib and snoop when they did this? that’s one small hit for buzz and one fucking giant hit for snoop’s rocket experience. hell yeah, got that?
