Meh I could use a kill.

Someone please kill off Acker so we can get busy destroying Chris Montez’s hopes and dreams next.  Other than those two I couldn’t care less what song wins as they’re all listenable. Never heard of him or that song before, and after listening to it, I was better off before than after.

Unfortunately there are people who like Beatles stuff just because it's by the Beatles *snip*

It’s literally the opposite in DL.  People (particularly the under 40 set) vote down anything Beatle related ‘just because’ like it’s ‘cool’ to say bunk to history.  So I don’t know what polls you’ve been watching the past year.

As for the song in question, I ONLY liked the Beatles up to the Help! LP and didn’t care for the experimental stuff once they lost the plunky sound.  And I’m unanimous in that.
