"Now and Then"
Just heard it on an iHeart station. I thought it was great. Classic Lennon.

Thanx for not taking what I said the wrong way. I've never considered myself a purist, but I guess this is a purist attitude I'm taking. That's not really my motivation. I really just don't see this as a "Beatles" song.I hear you. I'm already seeing some pretty harsh critiques. I'm pretty easy to please and not a purist.
Not this one. I agree even more than you !I'm pretty sure my opinion is very unpopular among Beatles fans
I wish they were part of the Beatles canon. Then I could light the fuse and blast those horrors to the outermost edge of Venezuela !I don't consider this song, "Free As a Bird", or "True Love" to be part of Beatles canon
I refuse to even listen to "Now and Then."Then again, I'm not interested in "Re-mixes", "Re-masters" or anything else
It's been a lonely place to be for many decades for me. But I actually like it. It means you can get involved in every conversation if you want.I know I'm in the minority
I'm never going to know !I'm sure it's a nice song
Totally. If John had written it back in '68,'69, with the intention of the Beatles recording it, then that might sway me just a little.This whole "Yoko found a tape of John and we played over it" does not make it a Beatles song.
Oh man, I can't even stand anything I did 6 months ago, let alone someone digging up recordings from years ago. Hell no!If I weren’t around anymore, and if my music was of any importance (fat chance), I’d be severely pissed if the music in my trash heap of abandoned songs was dug up and turned into a ‘new’ song.
Oh ok. That makes sense. Thanx for clarifying.I think they have George's guitar from when they were working on this song in 1995 together, but also added another guitar solo / slide guitar in George's style as well.
Absolutely, which is why I kept qualifying my post with "I know I'm in the minority", etc...I was paranoid of coming off as some kind of "Beatles snob" who knows more than everyone else.The good news for Beatles fans that don't care, or don't like this... they don't have to listen to it!
Yeah, nobody's getting upset.. We're just shooting the shit and sharing opinions.I bet it's more like a 50-50 split than a minority opinion, but again... it's not something to get "upset" about, because you can just ignore it if you choose to, and the other 50% can be happy about it, as apparently 50% of the Beatles are happy enough to release it.
Exactly!Yeah, nobody's getting upset.. We're just shooting the shit and sharing opinions.
Yeah, people are addicted to arguing on the internet, unfortunately. For some reason, people's egos allow them to believe that they NEED to convince themselves that they just "won" an argument against a complete fucking stranger. Social media was supposed to bring people together. It has done the exact opposite. Anonymity brings out the worst in mother fuckers.I know. I'm not really talking about anyone "upset" here... however, there are other threads about this elsewhere on the internet where people seem genuinely upset though, and just wanted to put it out there that if anyone was "upset" it's not really worth getting "upset" about.
