Today's Songday idea based on selected 4/11 entries. "We live in public" is a contrast with sequestration. We live in public We live on fame Ten o'clock footsteps on the stairs father, pale and nervous lights out, tiptoe upstairs we're expecting the police Get Back! Don't Let Me Down 4/11/1944 (Diary of Anne Frank) "...Ten o'clock, footsteps on the stairs. Father, pale and nervous, came inside, followed by Mr. van Daan. "Lights out, tiptoe upstairs, we're expecting the police!" There wasn't time to be scared. The lights were switched off, I grabbed a jacket, and we sat down upstairs. "What happened? Tell us quickly!" There was no one to tell us; the men had gone back downstairs. The four of them didn't come back up until ten past ten. Two of them kept watch at Peter's open window. The door to the landing was locked, the book- case shut. We draped a sweater over our night-light, and then they told us what had happened..." 4/11/1969, Friday (Beatles Studio Diary) "The first commercial output from the Get Back sessions: "Get Back" itself and "Don't Let Me Down", both recorded at Savile Row on 28 January and remixed on 7 April. Owing to the late remixing, copies of the single did not reach the stores until several days after this rather optimistic release date. But it nonetheless sailed straight to the top of the charts all over the world." 4/11/2010 Film: We Live In Public. A good example how unbounded freedom can quickly get out of hand......Harris has yet to make his point that we are moving towards a dystopia. ...he has always hated the internet and held the mirror up to show us how he feels. He is pointing the camera at us as saying "Look how pathetic we are". Apparently Harris is now living a 'noble' life in Ethiopia mentoring kids that were to be on the internet. 4/11/2020, Saturday
I have always kept notebooks and diaries so the ideas are accessible. I was such a nerd when I was younger and kept a folded index card (and pen) in my shirt pocket to jot down ideas. After a decade I had amassed a large repository of things to draw from. Back in the 80s I thought it would be great to have an electronic pocket card, and that's what we have now with software like Evernote. I have one huge Lyrics note and I go in and marry one idea to another. Hugely useful.
