Well, I'm glad you guys got that all worked out. I was afraid I was going to have to bust out some pastoral counseling.

Back to the songs....Josh, I was talking about Across The Universe the movie. It's 3 -4 years old, I think. Have you seen it? If you haven't, now I'm REALLY interested in having you watch and give your opinion! It's basically a "musical" made up of Beatles tunes strung together with a made up story. Now, given that poor discription I just gave you, I would be totally prepared to hate it---and believe me, I was!!!! However, when I actually saw it, it totally won me over!! The male and female leads , as well as the supporting singers are really wonderful. The story is weak, but it is clearly make-believe, so I could definitely suspend my judgement there. The presentation of the songs is different, (one includes your buddy Bono!!) but I think is stands nicely as a tribute all by itself. It is NOT The Beatles, it is kind of a reminescence of them. It wasn't a real popular movie, I suspect because people younger than us didn't get the sentimental connection and got bogged down in the weak story. If you take it for the songs and the strong vocals, I think it's really good. Interestingly enough, my kids fell in love with it---along with several of their friends--and ran right out to get the movie and soundtrack. They and their friends are pretty musical and have a solid foundation in "the classics" so maybe that was the key I'm really interested in your opinion, (and the opinion of others who may have seen it.) --Signed proudly by your friend a Brand-New Threadmaster!

lololol.
if we are just talking about songs, casting crowns "voice of truth" "who am i" "does anybody hear her?" and "if we are the body" are my fav songs EVER!! look em up. "does anybodt here her" has a very speacial place in my heart because it is a song that spoke to me and brought me comfort during my mothers death.
shalom to all- john

I will jump into the fray here. I think that virtually every band has been influenced to some degree by the Beatles (whether you like them or not). I have always loved "Day in the Life". This song goes all over the place and seems to exemplify what I think of as a Beatles tune. Side two of Abby Road is a collage of tunes that were too short to be stand alone tracks - classic!!
