Gather Round All You Clowns

I adore this song. I was just thinking this clip is a good companion piece to the famed footage of the Lennon-Dylan showdown in the car. Lennon admired Bob Dylan so much it hurt – very like what he felt for Brian Wilson. As evidenced in Dont’ Look Back and numerous other accounts, it must’ve been such a dressing-down for Lennon to match wits with his intellectual equal. You can practically see sparks flying through the air. Whenever I get down over the Brits being culturally superior, particularly in the realm of music, this picks me back up again.
