The Beatles, Baby, You’re a Rich Man
Okay, I tried to avoid this movie, as I usually do in the face of overwhelming hype, but you can only hide for so long. In this case I’m not ashamed because I loved The Social Network and I have to say JT was much better than I had suspected. I thought a lot about my own relationship to social networking during this movie but also considered just how much I love nerds, that I don’t really know what an algorithm is and that I really have a strong dislike for greed. I was also reminded that, like you I’m sure, I love a good movie ending and I adore watching a movie’s credits rolling to a kick-ass track. The Social Network is all over that, which explains why they chose this song. It’s a perfect fit and the sentiment rings unavoidably true.

P.S. The song was recorded during sessions for the Magical Mystery Tour and was intended for the Yellow Submarine soundtrack but ended up being the B-side of the “All You Need Is Love” single. Such Magic.  Enjoy.
