Every week day 100.9 FM, the oldies station, has a feature called The Fab Four At Four (or "F4@4" as I refer to in texts to Bethlynne). As the name implies, the segment is a collection of four Beatles or Beatles-related songs at four o'clock (though in reality the block doesn't start until 4:10). I always lament that the F4@4 is only fifteen minutes long or so as they were my favorite band for a long long time, and I'm still a fan of the Liverpudlian quartet.
Much to my irritation, yesterday's installment actually started on time so I missed the first half. Fuckers. I'm assuming August 8th is an important date in the life of Ravi Shankar or some shit because the songs I heard, "Within You Without You" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" are both heavy on the sitar and I am willing to bet the first two utilized that instrument as well.
The reason I'm even bothering you with this shit (other than the fact it's been around three weeks since I posted a GuakTalk entry) is that when I changed the station from some horrible Steve Miller song (redundant, I know) to F4@4 my passengers were two Indian guys. You know, the kind of Indian that hails from India.
I found that funny.
