Friday Night Jukebox Memories

"Beatlemania" had reached it's zenith  when the four lads from Liverpool
met the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley during their tour of America in August, 1965.
Sorry I can't find a photograph of them together!

I can vividly remember being a little girl in the late 1960's dancing around the living 

 room to the Beatles "Rubber Soul" album playing on my parents' big RCA TV/Stereo 

console. After all these years this particular song keeps popping into my mind

 whenever I think of the absolute treachery and deceit within the American

 news media industry today and their relentless campaign of Fake News to try 

 and destroy President Trump, or to censor conservative thinkers from speaking

what's on their minds, or accusing those who dare to publicly express support
for our president of being a "racist" in league with white supremacist groups.
This is absolute and utter nonsense!

 But then again, may be what I am really longing for is a way to

  turn back the clock and visit the carefree, happy days of childhood.

And a far different America from the one we are living in today.

Anyway, enjoy the song!

I've got a word or two

To say about the things that you do

You're telling all those lies

About the good things that we can have

If we close our eyes

Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'Cause I won't be there with you.

I left you far behind

The ruins of the life that you had in mind

And though you still can't see

I know your minds made up

You're gonna cause more misery.

Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'Cause I won't be there with you.

Although your mind's opaque

Try thinking more if just for your own sake

The future still looks good

And you've got time to rectify

All the things that you should.

Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'Cause I won't be there with you.

Do what you want to do

And go where you're going to

Think for yourself

'Cause I won't be there with you.

Think for yourself

'Cause I won't be there with you.

"Think For Yourself"

(1965)
