Dig a Pon...Here is a song that defies description. Dig a Pony, however, is definitely one of the better songs on a classic album full of memorable numbers. I say that as a one who usually prefers the melody-rich songs of McCartney over Lennon. But, my appreciation for the genius of Lennon increases with time. <BR/><BR/>Compare McCartney's "Silly Love Song" (years later) with Lennon's silly love song in "Dig a Pony." Yes, McCartney has a number one hit (again). But, Dig a Pony stays with you. You want to hear it again. And yes, the lyrics are mostly non-sense verse, but, the emotion and the guitar builds brings us to the only crucial line, "All I want it you!" <BR/><BR/>IF I may, the reason we still listen to this innovative group: while not simply pitching the history which their music is based, they allowed creative genius to inform their music. Dig a Pony is one example of a silly love song that simply works. <BR/><BR/>JJJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382423094361633161noreply@blogger.com
