nite chat: 6:26

i should probably go to bed
i wasn't planning to stay up
but
i got busy with stuff
i've listened to let it be before
my dad had a copy, i'm pretty sure
but
when i was a kid
i don't think i liked it as well
as the other albums he had
which i borrowed (cassettes)
for long spells
the red and blue compilations
rubber soul
sgt pepper
abby road
then later
i know i had revolver
and the white album
a friend of my mom's had magical mystery tour
i never really liked the early beatles as much as
the later beatles
and
i know i heard some of those earlier ones
help--  somebody had help
maybe somebody had meet the beatles
anyway
i thought it was worth revisiting let it be

they are a little more raw
than the elaborate sgt pepper
but
i like that
i often think
that could stand to be a little less produced
for my ear
but
that isn't really what i mean
i mean less "perfect"
and maybe sgt pepper would be my favorite
album
probably it is
but
let it be has a lot of appeal for me now

and one problem with my favorite albums
some of my favorite people
i don't really have a favorite album
billie holiday
i've had albums
but none off them were really satisfying as an album
and, like
i like dylan, for example
but i've never owned an album
 bob marley
i think i had a best of or something
but
that doesn't really count
that's part of the problem with billie and howlin wolf

so
i thought i'd include that
i may have owned legend
but i think i just listened to it at a friend's house
anyway
the idea
is to listen to that as a sort of musical focus
for the summer
which is something i would do
but i haven't
not for years

do i even seem like the same person
from march to now
i feel like i've changed a lot
i feel like that's normal for me
but idon't feel like i changed much
or
at least not in the same way
when i was at that last place

anyway
one more thing i want to do
which hopefully will not confuse you
and then i'm going to bed

i love you very much sweetheart
