Newsflash: Seattle Man Wakes Up to Beatles’ “Within You Without You”

Posted by on August 10 at 9:52 AM

I’ve had quibbles with Seattle radio station KEXP, but sometimes it pleasantly surprises me. This morningfor the first and probably last time everI unexpectedly awoke at 6:30 to the Beatles’ “Within You Without You,” the most underrated song on that group’s most overrated album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I realized that arising to George Harrison’s quasi-mystical existentialism and rudimentary sitar playing is a fantastic way to start the day. You should try it.
