I always thought You're Gonna Lose That Girl was underrated. Definitely one of the most fun to sing along to.

Got to Get You into My Life is a top-five Beatles song for me. Good choice.

1) The Earth Wind and Fire version is a banger

2) For me, "And Your Bird Can Sing" is the one that I don't understand why it isn't one of the headliner Beatles songs.

Dear Prudence is mine. It reminds me, for some odd reason, of the one that got away.

We must have the Oracle of Will opinion on the B1G's plundering of the Pac-12. As an Illini fan that attended the magical Rose Bowl in '84, I'm torn as whether to be happy my conference was the winner this weekend or sad that the New Years day telecasts from sunny Pasadena will never be the same. Please give us plainsmen direction.

It makes me a feel a *little* better (and a little worse) that you don't know the USO stories either.

My In Laws used to travel to NY once a year. How many drinks they might have had at Sardi's is unknown. Bet they knew Joe by name. Great writing.
