Reason #4711 why I don't want to live on this planet anymore.


Recommended Posts

As we who remember the earlier days of the Beatles (getting damn old) it doesn't mean the kids of today know who he is. His last concert for me was back in the mid seventies when he was "Paul McChartney and The Wing."

I'm lost here... Because someone claims to not know Paul McCartney you don't want to live on the planet? I'd bet there are a good number of people in my age group and more so for those younger who have heard of the Beatles, but don't know the individual band members.

There are even more who really don't care for the Beatles music so they don't care to know much, if anything, about the band or its members (count me in that group).

I'm not sure why it would be any importance for everyone to have to know who they are...

Ha...this man (and his band) was active at least 30yrs before my existence, yet I still know who he is. So there is not much of an excuse for those folks not to IMO.

Granted I know who the Beatles are, what they did, and know their music, I don't really care for them either.

There are maybe 3-4 songs I like, but they just aren't my type.

My father always argues with me about it, and what they did for "rock" music and what not. But it's not like someone else wouldn't have done it. If Elvis didn't do it, someone else would have, if the Beatles didn't do it, someone else would have, if B. Sabbath or KISS didn't do it, someone else would have, so on and so forth.

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
