Tuesday, April 14th, 2009Roxy Music’s ‘2HB’
The title is a pun - the song is not about the European nomenclature of pencil leads, but actually dedicated to Humphrey Bogart. In particular the song references Bogart’s classic ‘Casablanca’

Thursday, April 9th, 2009Since we finally have a nice day, I thought I’d bring in a little rain.
The Rain Song was released in 1973 on Led Zeppelin’s “Houses of the Holy”. Jimmy Page said the song was inspired by George Harrison who told Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham that the Beatles new wrote any ballads. In tribute to Harrison, the first two notes of the song are recognizably borrowed from “Something”

Thursday, March 12th, 2009”Junk” was originally written in 1968 in India where The Beatles were studying transcendental meditation. Two years later, the song was released on Paul McCartney’s first post-Beatles release, “McCartney”. The song was considered for inclusion on “The White Album” and “Abbey Road”, but didn’t made the cut.
