Just went to check, both Spotify and my vinyl record (just to make sure). It definitely says “yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah go go away”

How many people have to disagree with you until you realise/ admit you’re wrong? It is obvious you are wanting to hear something offensive -for whatever reason- so you’re making words out of what is quite clearly intended to be vocables. This part is also included to represent African roots, where rhythms like these are popular, so it is with 100% certainty I can assure you Glover wasn’t sneakily slipping in homophobia

Every member of the stones was either on Heroin, Cocaine, hard liquor or all of the above. It’s only now they’ve been clean for the past decade. Whilst each of them spent quite a lot of their personal funds on drugs the main issue is that no one would give them large sums of money to make a movie or anything because they thought they’d be branded as “the one that work with those druggies”. In the Beatles case there was less talk about johns heroin habit and the rest of them weren’t addicted to anything but cigarettes so it was more acceptable to give them money. I’m not say the stones were always penniless but they weren’t pop superstars like the Beatles

The Monkees was just be throwing an example out there, maybe someone like The Who are a better example (Being one of the most innovative bands of all time basically creating genres like Metal and Power Pop amongst many other things, with the Beatles taking TONS of inspiration from those guys).

The Rolling Stones spent 90% of their money on addictions and still are extremely influential. I think it’s important to separate having money and having funding. The Beatles - relatively addictionless for a rock band - had a lot of funding to pump into their music. The Stones - Quite heavy on the addiction front - had little funding to pump into their music yet still churned out some IMPECCABLE stuff.

You seem to have a dismissive and relatively aggressive tone so in case this puts your mind to ease: I’m not Anti-Beatles. Help! Is one of my favourite albums of all time (and my favourite Beatles record) but I think because they’re music was SO polished, due to a huge amount of funding, the common consensus is they’re the best songs known to man when realistically there’s much better songs out there

I think they were (extremely innovative) but I think it’s mainly because they had the monetary backing. I think if the monkees got enough funding we’d be saying the same thing about them but that didn’t happen so I guess we’ll never really know

If I had to listen to one pop song for the rest of my life it’d be “Run Away With Me” by Carly Rae Jepsen

I Thought the World of You - Lewis Baloue. All the lyrics are undecipherable but you get this DEEPLY romantic, emotional feeling from a strange man grumbling to you. It’s perfect for a nice rainy night when you can quite sleep

Honestly depends on the girl, I’m a touring musician that has his fair share of different kinds of relationships. The best thing is to be 100% honest with her. This is also where it’s important for YOU to judge whether you think a relationship would negatively impact your music.

I would try it anyway, in the worst case scenario you get something to write about
