So, yeah, I got drawn into the memory hole just a little bit last Friday when the folks who keep track of such things reminded us all that “Sgt.

My wonderment (has it been forty years?) intensified on Saturday when I read John Colapinto’s somewhat fawning profile of Paul McCartney’s current life (and just imagine HIS flashbacks) in the June 4 issue of The New Yorker. But all this Beatles-memoro-mania left me thinking more about the future than the past. It left me thinking about the deeper meaning of McCartney’s celebrated add-on couplet: “And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”
