Two Days In A Life

The ban that Israel's government has put on The Beatles performance in the 60s disappointed not only Israelis, but many Jewish people who were part of The Beatles phenomena, like their legendary manager Brian Epstein. Over four decades later, Paul McCartney represented the Fab Four on stage in Park HaYarkon, Tel Aviv, and rocked the audience with a great show.

Negotiations for the concert have been tough, but after a series of rumors and denials the deal was finally set. Ticket offices were stormed on opening, 50,000 tickets were sold eventually, filling the park with fans and music lovers.

Digg a pony

Here is another post with no helpful information, sorry, I meant to write a meaningful piece but I am on vacation and in fun spirits :-)

Anyway, I just got reminded of something that crossed my mind before and is now more relevant than ever - the term John Lennon invented almost 40 years ago: "bagism". It's amazing that at the time everybody laughed - a person giving an interview in a bag. You can look this up, or even better watch the video (fast-forward about 2 and a half minutes). Here's a short re-cap:

"if everybody had to go in a bag for a job (interview) there would be no prejudice, you see, you'd have to judge people on their quality within, you know, we call it total communication..."

I think this is really the web: blogging, mash-ups, syndications, and social networks, and why all this is a lot of fun - you really know nothing about the one you are talking to, except what he (she? it?) tells you.

Dig a pony lyrics mention

"penetrate any place you go" (...internet?...)
"radiate everything you are" (...wireless?...)
"imitate everyone you know" (...blogging? syndication?...)
"indicate everything you see" (...search? google?...)
"syndicate any boat you row" (...social networks?...)

Cheers to total communication!

P.S. A tribute to Passover holiday (the reason for my vacation): there were once four boys (ארבעה בנים) - the wise and wicked one, the cute one, the quite one, and the one that can't sing... and they were fab.
