"Send my love to the aliens," Paul McCartney told Nasa through a Beatles historian. "All the best, Paul."
Seems a Fab 4 tune is being sent across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star.
Is Nasa sending a Rolling Stones tune? Nah!
Is Nasa sending a Bob Zimmerman, er, Dylan melody like a rolling stone? Nah!
Michael Jackson? Definitely would be a thrilla, but Nah!
Billy Ray Cyrus? Ditto!
Ice Tea?; Snoop Dog? Brittney Spears? Not sure how to spell her name but Nah!
Elvis? A hunk a'hunk of burning love? Nah!
Frank Sinatra? Fly him to the moon, but across the universe. Not in my lifetime. Nah!
Frank Zappa? Huh? You know: Phi Zappa Krappa! Nah!
Jose Feliciano? Doors? Break on through to the other side! Nah!
Hendrix? Meatloaf? Spooky Tooth? Nah!
Shop Boyz? Huh? And the "boy band" with Justin Timberlake, et al? Can't recall their name. Double Nah.
Anyhoo, NASA picked the best. The article mentions the song was written by Lennon/McCartney, but it was all John. J'ai guru deva om.
P.S. Dear Cat takes a momentary hiatus. Or more aptly "the world according to v.c." is taking a break. Nothing's gonna change my world. ( see lyrics to the above song. )
