This Song PROVES There are 2 Categories in Rock...These Guys & Everybody Else | Professor Of Rock

"In 1967, a brilliant concept album was recorded that shattered the boundaries of song arrangement, and forever changed the art of recorded music. The Beatles Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Maybe Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr created a concept record about an imaginary band. They were in a race with the Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys to create the greatest record ever.. The last cut on their ground-breaking record A Day in the Life was a mind-altering composition inspired by the death of a notorious socialite, and psychedelia. We raise the curtain on this fantastic voyage across the perils of stone cold realism.. and the fantasy of lysergic imagination….NEXT on Professor of Rock."

It’s Time for Another Edition of #1 in our hearts where we honor a song that should’ve been a #1 hit. This one is a no brainer… It changed everything by the greatest band of their time…
It began with the title “In the Life of..” and evolved into “A Day in the Life,” a track by The Beatles, acclaimed as an avant-garde masterpiece. The impetus of the song came from John Lennon's random perusing of the British newspaper the Daily Mail, when he learned of the death of his friend- Tara Browne- leading to the first line of the song- “I read the news today..oh boy. John Lennon and Paul McCartney, the co-authors of “A Day in the Life” knew Browne very well. He was the 21 year old heir of the Guiness fortune, the popular Irish stout beer brand
Browne was a constantly in the tabloids, as a notorious socialite, labeled a “spoiled rich kid” from the swinging London counter-culture of the 60s, who spent lavishly on wild parties. Browne once hired the band the Lovin Spoonful over a thousand pounds to play a private concert- just for him. His most infamous party was the celebration of his 21st birthday, held at his parents manor in the Wicklow Mountains.
Browne paid for private jets to fly all 200 of his guests to the party, including celebrities like Michael Caine, Peter Sellers, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and Paul McCartney- who ended up not being able to attend because The Beatles were recording at Abby Road. It’s been widely documented that Browne was the person that convinced Paul to take LSD for the first time.
Even though John, George, and Ringo had been regularly using LSD, Sir Paul resisted the baiting of his bandmates for a long time, before succumbing to the peer pressure of Tara Browne.
On December 17th, 1966, Browne was driving on the streets of London in his Lotus Elan sports car with his girlfriend, model Suki (sue-kee) Potier. He was reportedly speeding in excess of 100 miles per hour, when he ran a red light and smashed into a parked truck.
