All the Lonely People, Where Do They All Belong?... A Blog for my DAD

Yesterday while I was running around and picking up Jazz and Bella at my grandma's house- I finally received Talib Kweli's- The Beautiful Mix CD. You know you have to test out a CD by playing it so loud that you can feel the bass in your heart, this time it was definitely worth the irregular heart beat.

I think that I may have already played out track #12. Number 12 is called Lonely People- and for those of you who are Beatles fans- the hook is from Eleanor Rigby. Besides the fact that I love The Beatles- this song is a masterpiece of violins and poignant lyrics (cause seriously I would like to know where all the lonely people do come from).
So to Talib - I Salute You. At last someone deserving and with enough respect has sampled a Beatles hit without butchering its musical genius.

I can remember always listening to The Beatles growing up. My dad was an avid fan and we would sing together- dang, we would listen to them doing yardwork, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, and on Sunday mornings. If I didn't understand where The Beatles were coming from I could always ask him. He was always a wealth of musical knowledge. I got my love of music from him-we would discuss music and theories surrounding the different influences people had and how that effects their musical output.
So in honor of my dad and The Beatles here are some other Beatles hooks that would be worth using (for all you Beatles and hip hop fans):

1. She's Leaving Home
2. I'm Looking Through You
3. Girl
4. From Me to You
5. Let It Be
6. Hey Jude
7. Rocky Racoon
8. Yellow Submarine
9. My Love Don't Give me Presents
10. Lady Madonna
