Did anybody watch that Grammy’s tribute to the Beatles last night? Ba-nanas. I mean, my jaw dropped when Alicia Keys sang “Let it be,” I was weeping like a child during the cover of “Here comes the Sun,” and down right giddy when Sir Paul and Ringo started singing together, right there on television, like it was no big deal. I went to a Paul McCartney concert around 12 years ago now, with my sisters and my mom and dad and it was one of the best, funnest nights of my life. My dad’s probably the world’s biggest Beatles fan (I know everybody says that, but I really think he is) and their music defines my childhood about as much as if I had grown up in their era. Well, maybe not quite, but close. Anyways, those melodies are filled with joy and nostalgia, and listening to them played by some of my favorite current artists was such a treat. Don’t you just love what the human race is able to create? I’m listening to this music last night that makes me feel so many things, and thinking to myself, “some person just thought this up, it just sprung up out of them.” That’s a miracle. The human creative process is a miracle.
Speaking of which, this skirt is one of my newest creations, and I’m not going to make any kind of comparison with it to the Beatles because that would be blasphemy, but it is made with a designer lace overlay, and it’s navy (my fave) and it’s all tied up with a bow in the back, and I sure do like it a lot. For some reason it makes me feel like Audrey Hepburn.
The end.
ps. I adore this video about being creative. It’s a nice thought for a Monday don’t you think?
