If You Were Trapped on a Desert Island and Could Only Listen to One Band Forever, Who Would It Be?

January 31, 2013

This was the question my husband asked me last night while we split a bottle of wine at our favorite Zona Rosa BBQ restaurant. They were playing a particularly good channel of classic rock while we devoured our ribs and burnt ends. He was torn between Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin -- his ultimate choice was Pink Floyd. I don't see how we ever got married, because, between those two choices, I would have chosen the opposite. 

But, that still doesn't answer the original question - what band could you listen to for the rest of your life? Of course, the only possible answer is The Beatles!!! Could you ever get tired of listening to the Fab Four? No way! They've got too many songs to list as my favorite - where to start? Even as I write this blog, I keep hearing Across The Universe going through my head. Here Comes The Sun, Norwegian Wood, Blackbird, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps . . . there's too many to name.
 
So, in order to pay respect to my favorite band, I've created a display in their honor. Please stop by the Riverside Branch to take a look. I am surveying our customers with a couple of  questions -- "Who is your favorite Beatle?" and "What is your favorite Beatles song?" I'll post the results in a later blog.
 
By the way, for all of you music lovers reading this, check out MCPL's exciting new database, Freegal.
 
And I always thought that George was "the cute one."
