I think they're all insane, you know, but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know? That's what's insane about it. I mean, don't you agree? #powertothepeople

Preoccupied re-watching "Get Back" sparked by Anthology 4 tracks. My Mom was ill when the epic film premiered on Disney so I didn't watch it properly.
Came across a mention of dear @maryhopkin.bsky.social, Paul briefly discussing the marketing and launch of her first Apple LP, Post Card. 😊
