    Do any of you also have Red Box as an option to rent DVD's in your area?  It's a clever concept.  A big rod box with mostly new and recent release movies for a buck a night.  In our area, they're at grocery stores, mostly outside so you have 24-hour access.

    A while back I started trying to get a film a friend recommended to me because I'm such a Beatles geek  The film is called Across the Universe and features 31 Beatles tunes - some of them full length, some nothing more than a line of dialogue (Sadie: "Where'd she come from?" Jude: "She came in through the bathroom window.")  None performed by the Beatles.

    It's an interesting film placed during the turbulent 60's, and worth the viewing for the clever use of the music and interesting choreography, and it got me thinking, so I went looking through my Beatles stuff.  Linda didn't recognize many of the songs most of which were from Hey Jude, Let It Be, Abby Road and the White album, so I spent much of the viewint telling her which one the bit came from.  That got me looking for the title song, Across the Universe, which comes from Get Back, and leads me to this next bit - a video of another song from Get Back, which originally appeared on the official Beatles web page.  Slap on your ear phones, and enjoy this brilliantly delightful look at the past, John, Paul, and George in their prime:  Two of Us.  Enjoy.
