My wife and I just watched George Harrison: Living in the Material the other night which prompted me to spin:

All Things Must Pass from 1970

Man, did Phil Spector screw up some beautiful music. It's kind of like taking a naturally beautiful woman and adding so much makeup and perfume that she looks and smells like a hooker.

Wagner for the kids, ha!
