Fecking hate The Beatles, always did the wankers, they led pop music up a blind alley of musical sophistication for years. Ooh look, I'm an opinionated arsehole of a 19 year old again...

12 btw..

Elvis, king of rock and roll? Fuck off, that's me as a 63 year old btw..

I'll get most of them eventually.

There's a line in 14,that I often say to myself when I'm confused which is often these days.

"Her name was Magill,and she called herself Lil but everyone knew her as Nancy"

I don't recognize the last one.
