A Day in the Life

Sure, I love the Beatles, because what right-thinking person doesn't? Yet I rarely go out of my way to play their music anymore; by now, I've heard all those songs so many times that listening further seems pointless. But send a freaky deconstruction my way -- Neil Young covering the Fab Four's "A Day ln the Life," say, with protean guitar squall standing in for the original orchestral parts -- and heck yes, I'll listen to that.

(Thanks, Roger.)
