LOONEY TOONS
In lurching desperation, with nothing else to key itself upon, 1974 seized the Beatles, made their potential - as opposed to reality - its standard, forced icons out of the unwilling sphincter of the past like so much non-metaphoric shit.

Preserving The Beetles Fantasy
The Teenage Dwarf
In lurching desperation, with nothing else to key itself upon, 1974 seized the Beatles, made their potential - as opposed to reality - its standard, forced icons out of the unwilling sphincter of the past like so much non-metaphoric shit. The year produced: a Lennon album, a McCartney album, a Ringo album, a George album (and two he produced, one for raga-meister Ravi Shankar, another for a group called Splinter, who shall remain faceless because their music is). In addition: #1 status for “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” (by Elton John); not one, but two, Beatle Fetish conventions (one in Boston, the other in New York); a stage show called “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road”; two marital mishaps (the split-up of George and Patti; the demise of John and Yoko) and rumors of a third (Maureen was going out with G.?); four McCartney hits.(“Helen Wheels,” “Jet,” “Band on the Run,” and as the year waned, “Junior’s Farm”), as well as more-or-less successful singles by the rest; the [Harrison tour; dozens of rumors about reunion, dissolution, further spats and turmoil. It was a drag.
