Get Back

If you have movies taken back When you were just a child, You’ll know that seeing everyone So young is really wild. The clothes, the styles, the mannerisms Take you to that time When some on screen most likely had Been living in their prime. “Get Back” by Peter Jackson Gives us all a chance to see The Beatles at their finest And most viewers would agree That it captures, like in amber, Glimpses perfectly preserved Of four artists hard at work, A process very few observed. For the fans, it’s like rare treasure We’ve been told that we can share, When we didn’t even realize All the riches waiting there. As I watch, I’m not a nana Or a teacher or a wife But a teenaged girl just starting On the path that’s been my life.

The Beatles never did a thing for me when they first appeared. Only years later did I begin to appreciate their music and relevant lyrics. My favorite song was "Yesterday." I considered as good as any lieder Schubert ever wrote and that's saying a lot! When they gpt too big for their own good and took to drugs did I lose interest. / Maurice

I was a true Beatlemaniac, Gershon - screaming and all!

This is such a fine, nostalgic poem, Ilene. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I love to look at those kinds of movies.
