WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.)

Pete Best: Best of the Beatles...
Filed in: Current Affairs, Music

Petebest It was one of those - "Am I on the right planet?" moments for me...

Early this morning in Japan, I caught most of a documentary about Pete Best - the original drummer for the Beatles. I didn't know there was a Pete Best, didn't know that it was he that paid the gruelling price with rest of the Fab Four in the very early Hamburg, Germany days when they honed their skills.

I didn't know that Best was drummed out of the group in favor of Ringo Starr in 1962, nor that he has had no contact ever since with the original members of the group. Somehow, I missed a very significant part of my pop education. Perhaps public attention will finally bring the truth to a very mysterious part of music history.

Now that only half of the Fab Four survive and Pete has a successful DVD and continues to tour with increasing popularity - perhaps he will get some belated recognition.

PBS will air this documentary in the states on September 28th. It's a fascinating look back. I'd say it's a don't miss if you are a music fan.

Pete best was ousted from The Beatles following a lunch date between George Martin and Brian Epstein simply because he was the only 'gang' member without Jewish blood. Ringo Starr leaves nothing to the imagination does he? Real name; Richard Starkey.

To remove Pete at such an important time was an inhuman act, but then what do you expect from inhuman people?
