Seems the copy edit gremlins have been at work at the press again.
Attention purchasers of Revolver: How the Beatles Reimagined Rock ‘N’ Roll – On page 221, you will find a sentence that, as-is, makes no sense whatsoever.
It’s not just you – trust me.
To fix: take a Sharpie, inkpen or Liquid Paper (thanks Mrs. Nesmith!) Look to the last full paragraph for the words “for the last time.” Cross them out.
Now read: “It’s comparable to the first time one sees a much-touted band perform live, and the way the impact diminishes with each repeat.”
Make sense now?
Not even close to being a Ringo-ism. Thanks Mrs. Sanford!
I kind of like the whole LSD feel of the way it was published (very appropiate in a book on Revolver). I mean, really, isn’t LSD supposed to enlighten you as to the fact that life is just one big non sequitur?
Thanks for the correction. I thought maybe I wasn’t dosed properly to understand it.
