Desk is tiny compared to size of the room.

WOW!
Has it always been that way? Just wondering if it originally started in a very cramped room but the popularity forced them to recreate it as a set in this large space.

Only recently found out that the lyric âand nothing to get hung aboutâ from The Beatles âStrawberry Fields Foreverâ is literal, taken from Lennonâs childhood memory rumour that children would get hung if found in the grounds of Strawberry Field by members of the Salvation Army.
I always interpreted it to mean that itâs nothing to get emotionally hung up about it. Really like that line now, now that I know the context.

So⌠literally what is the point of it? Thought it was some cool shop or something. Instead itâs just a gig⌠but with a desk in the way
Is it bad that my first instinct is to be annoyed with Lennon for saying hung instead of hanged.

Itâs Bob (the presenter)'s desk, or at least so he says in the video. This doesnât really go anywhere towards explaining a point as such. Whatâs the point of anything really, I suppose!
I went to see Sumac a few years ago. They normally have Brian Cook (of Russian Circles, Botch and TAAS on bass). However, when I saw them they had some weird beardy guy with a grey beard on bass. I just thought, âoh, thatâs the roadie or something because Brian couldnât make itâ. It was a great gig, but I was slightly disappointed.
Itâs only after trawling through Wikipedia yesterday after looking at the credits for Lysol by the Melvins (absolutely banging album BTW) that I realised the guy playing bass with Sumac that night was the legendary Joe Preston, who played on Harvey Milkâs LifeâŚThe Best Game in Town, Lysol (of course) and High on Fire, among other amazing acts. If anything I should have been grateful!

Well except I think he is actually making exactly the pun of âhung upâ and âhangedâ so itâs okay, I reckon.
It says that everything has to fit behind that desk, so I guess thatâs the point? A small gig in a corner.
Not sure if he did intend it as a pun(?), although there may be an duality of meaning. However, according to The Beatles experts that Iâve recently listened to the general consensus is that he meant it literally. For what itâs worth Wikipedia states that as well:
Yeah I just think when you look at the history of his writing he seems like weird plays on words or generally strange poetic styles so I can imagine he saw how it could be interpreted.

Mind was blown last weekend when I discovered that âNew York, New Yorkâ by Frank Sinatra was recorded in 1980! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable but I never would have even guessed this. Always assumed it was 50s/60s!

Similarly it was recorded for the Martin Scorsese film that I always assumed was named after it.
