Wow du Jour

Apparently OTD in 1966, Eleanor Rigby was recorded:

The song was a shock to many pop listeners in 1966, with its bleak message of depression and desolation, with a somber, funeral-like backing.
 
"Daisy Hawkins picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been." 
 
According to Paul, Daisy Hawkins was an older woman who he got to know very well. He would go shopping for her and sit in her kitchen listening to stories and her crystal radio set.
 
"Just hearing her stories enriched my soul and influenced the songs I would later write." 
Wow. Turns out that even for Paul McCartney, there wasn't shit for people to do in 1966. 😜🤣
