one of my favorite details in the Post is when the copy is rushed to the copyeditor who has to do his job in like 10 minutes before deadline - and literally the first thing he does is cross out the first sentence. that is so accurate.

Oh yeah I saw that one in my Ringo wandering. Act Naturally!! Such a good example because you have to literally “keep time” with that one. You can’t speed up or lag or show off or indulge. It’s not about you.

Occasionally for fun I’ll watch drummers on YouTube talk about Ringo. It’s a whole genre! And yeah for Ringo it was about the song, not about him .

and this might be subjective and honestly maybe it makes me sound simple - but I think it's connected to what you're saying - the song somehow TRANSMITS joy. it's intense and unfiltered. I FEEL the song. it's communicating in a very pure way.

If you listen to that song, there are a few few very short rolls on the vocal oooh-ooohs, on no-nos and that stomping chorus.
It's so minimal, and perfect.

Right before Lantree died at the age of 74, she came up in a discussion on FB. I posted about the BONKERS final moment of the Elvis movie Spinout. Someone in the comments, a woman, posted a picture of Elvis’ “band” in Spinout, all boys, with – a girl drummer. I said, "Hey it's like the Honeycombs!"

The Honeycombs were a one-hit wonder? Okay. You could say that. But look at the legacy. Honey Lantree was just doing what she loved , but ... it's like one of my favorite Shakespeare lines from Merchant of Venice: “how far that little candle throws his beams.” so happy birthday Honey Lantree!
