'Revolution No. 9' by The Beatles

I think I was 16 when 'The White Album' came out....this remarkable sound collage blew me away immediately back then, and in retrospect, I see it had a pivotal influence on me on par with Marcel Duchamp years later when I was an art major at the Ybor City Campus of Hillsborough Community College. If I had to pick ten "songs" that have most deeply moved me, 'Revolution No. 9' would be there along with 'Appalachian Spring' and 'Why' by Yoko Ono and 'I Am the Walrus'. So I was pleased to find this audio track on YouTube. Enjoy, John
