I agree. It would have been a lot better if they had had their falling out over a different song. |

| The Beatles – I Feel Fine Lyrics

I play guitar, and read somewhere long ago that the "feedback" was merely John touching the plucked string with his thumbnail. I gave it a try, and found that it was one of the most easy things to replicate that I had ever tried. Add what I mean by that is that any time, at will, and on demand, I can make the exact sound that starts the record. So, I must fly in the face of history and claim that the feedback story is not true, that it was created with John's thumbnail. |

I guess it's all there, if you choose to connect everything. DeYoung has said the album was about not selling your dreams just to make money. The rich society matrons on the cover are all wearing earrings that are the moai statues from the Easter Islands. Wearing them as if they were prizes only the rich could afford to have, while representing a civilization that built these grand stone tributes, only to disappear themselves without explanation. Explorer Thor Heyerdahl spent a great deal of time on the Easter Islands, and the book he wrote about his experiences was called Aku-Aku. The song fits in very nicley, thematically and as a musical coda to the Pieces of Eight album. |
