I’m streaming the original Beatles’ version of “With a Little Help from My Friends” (1967). Don’t know. My streaming began with Ringo singing the third verse.
“Would you believe in love at first sight?”
“Yes, I’m certain that it happens all the time.”
Why this, today? Don’t know. Some inhibitor breakdown in the stream, a word caught in the wind, a flash in the brain, or maybe a neuotransmitter collision. I usually imagine my neurotransmitters as little sports cars racing through my head on beautifully constructed highways and country roads. Lately, though, ala Sim City, my neuro landscape is more like a hot and humid city under constant expansion, construction, and repair. There’s a lot of jackhammer and bulldozer noise. Big rigs transport loads of information as commuters struggling to get to work in their part of the brain creep along in traffic.
Sorry, side bar. On with the music.
I have a very vivid memory of the first time I ever heard this song: I was five years old and watching The Muppet Show. In one act, Janice, the blonde from the band Elecric Mayhem, was about to be sacrificed to a volcano… but first, everyone was “With a Little Help from My Friends.”

I remember the pigs singing that song with her.I seem to recall watching it on AFN-Okinawa as part of AFTRS, so that would have been in the early 1980s.
