John did the down a half step from the I chord trick twice on White Album: I'm So Tired (in A) and Sexy Sadie (in G). But on SS, he goes G-F# to the Bm (III chord). Then the IV and V chords. I have a special affection for "I'm So Tired" because it got me back into music after I had left it for half a decade. We had babies two years apart and I was really, really tired for a multi-year period. So finally I picked up the acoustic and started singing the song. It's amazing how good it feels to vent through music.

@@theverdicts5616 Although Radiohead reversed the order of the progression, starting with the IV and V chords, which would be fine by itself. But then they compounded the obvious theft by using a very similar piano line over the progression. It's like on "Creep", in the verses they use the Hollies chords from the verses of "Air That I Breathe". And they might have gotten away with it,, but then decided to go back and cop the Hollies' melody line in the bridge of their song. You can't do that, guys!

It was used in a mildly shocking way on the comteporary BBC comedy show Till Death Us Do Part (1965-75). there's an indication of its shock value in this story from the author Jonny Speight, comparing it to racist language also present in the show. "For the time, and for a family sitcom, Till Death Us Do Part reflected this by being genuinely near the mark with its language. While the show’s BBC producers were not, in that day and age, particularly worried about Alf’s use of racist slurs like "darkie" and "coon", they were horrified at the number of times words such as "damn", "git" and "bloody" came up. Speight often had to spend hours negotiating over this, resulting in some of the most surreal TV script meetings of all time: "We can lose two ‘gits’ and a ‘damn’ but we need to keep his ‘arse’ - how can he sit down without an arse?"

Guys that smoke don't care because most of the girls they kiss smell like an ashtray too. People can say, I can quit anytime, oh yeah, why not now? Dying from lungs that look like charcoal briquettes is not pretty and it's sad that they can be begging god for one more breath, when he gives it to them, they go outside and have a smoke. I've seen it, I worked in a hospital for 10 years. It would kill me to see a beautiful 20 year old girl dying from cancer, pushing an IV pole around the hospital grounds smoking a cigarette. SAD, SAD, SAD. All it does is prove you are weak--yep, you have a monkey on your back.

"Sir Walter Raleigh... was such a stupid get." I always understood that line in the context that it was commonly believed that if Raleigh had made landfall a few miles further along the coast, he'd have made contact with one of the local tribes who used marijuana rather than tobacco. Lennon is supposedly cursing Raleigh because cannabis would not have been illegal if it had caught on in England before tobacco did. In reality, Raleigh DID bring marijuana back too but the upper class kept it to themselves. However, it's a better joke if you ignore the facts and stick to the myth!

John was a very critical thinker. IMO his self deprecation came from his own insecurities & the fact that many of us are our own worst critics because we always think we can do better. John was never stagnant. He was always evolving. One can only speculate how he would have felt given time. Anyone who hasn’t heard Sean’s wonderful celebration of John’s 80th birthday really needs to check it out. He interviews McCartney, Julian, & Elton John concerning his father. Sean shows impressive insight toward understanding John as well as getting past all the critics (and wannabes) to see the similarities between John & Paul’s respective solo debuts.
