Revolution 9

It's their longest album, as you guys know, 30 songs, 16 on Abbey Road, 93 minutes long versus 47 minutes of Abbey Road.

It has their longest song in Revolution 9, and some might say it has their shortest song that's actually a regularly listed song, that being Wild Honey Pie at 52 seconds, even though there's Her Majesty, which isn't actually listed on a lot of things.

And then there's also Dig It and Maggie Mae on Let It Be, which I guess some people count, some people don't count.

So out came this record of this really, really chaotic time of drugs and getting deeply into Indian religion and study and starting a company and some extreme relationships.

Guys, let's not get cute.

You're just getting cute.

The worst song on this album by a country mile is Revolution 9.

Number nine.

You think, oh, I think I'll put on Martha, my dear.

I think I'll put on Revolution No. 9.

There's so much in it.

It's such a spooky, exciting album.

Miss him, miss him, miss him.

Number three, Revolution 9.

The repeated number nine supposedly becomes turn me on, dead man, when reversed.

Fueled the Paul is dead rumor.

Think about the distance between Blackbird and Helter Skelter.

Then think about Revolution 9 and Goodnight.

You don't have to love every moment to understand that those pieces change the scale of the album.

The record isn't simply presenting its strongest radio songs.

I guess a lot of the White Album creeps me out.

Like, obviously, Revolution 9 is meant to be kind of spooky in a way, but like...

Do you

know what the spookiest moment on that album is for me? And it's not Revolution 9.

I'll give you three guesses.

Revolution 1? No.

Were you aware of the Manson murders at the time you first started getting creeped out by the White Album? Did Helter Skelter color that for you at all or piggies or anything? Or were you unaware?

No, I think so, because I didn't get into the White Album until a little later, maybe like when I was like 15.

Yeah, before

Revolution 9.

Yes.

Yes.

It's because there's so many interesting quirks and turns in it.

I wouldn't cut Revolution 9.

I wouldn't cut any of the George.

Because some people say long, long.
