The Halted Clock Goes to Britain!

Hi there, all you saucy songsters and songstresses and gender-neutral balladeers.

On Friday I flew across the Atlantic on a redeye flight directly to Beatles Songwriting Academy to discuss the Beatles song “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” with Matt Blick in an empty lecture hall.

Quoth BSA:

Even the school nurse is doing a European tour with Rammstein. So as soon as I heard that songwriting blogger Nicholas Tozier was in town I grabbed my Rickenbacker frying pan and invited him over for a traditional English meal and a chat about I Want You (She’s So Heavy).

I JUST HAD AN IDEA.

    I feel like someone’s about to direct me to where it says “gullible” on the ceiling, but you didn’t really go, did you?

      I certainly did. I traveled at the speed of Internets!
