nancy was (probably still is) a pretty cool person -- she never failed to make me laugh, and i had a crush on her for about an hour my freshman year, until i realized that a good friend of mine was going to ask her out ... for some reason, i turned off that part of my brain and said "good luck" and that, as they say, was that.
she visited my parents' estate in farmington once, and a few weeks after that i waited in line with about every senior woman at denison and secured her a really good room in the best all-women dorm ... for some reason, i turned off that same part of my brain mentioned above and wasted a great opportunity to flirt with rich college babes.
for some reason, the lyrics to the songs on side A are on individual pages inside, but the lyrics to side B are on the back cover here ... it's odd to me, because that is by far the better side. six songs -- indian raga, old-tyme vaudeville shtick, power-pop, distorted saxophones, a hard-rock visit from side A and then "a day in the life" ... for my money that's the side i prefer. especially "when i'm sixty-four" and then "lovely rita."
the original album came with cutouts: a moustache, a picture card of Sgt. Pepper, stripes, badges and a "stand up" of the band. and here the theme is continued, thought thank goodness nobody cut that part out.
