This summer Rolling Stone came out with a list of top ten Beatles songs. I tried to come up with my own list; an exercise that ended with severe migraine headache. Picking the ten best Beatles Songs would be like asking my mother to pick her next favorite child after yours truly. So I got to thinking if one were to survey just Idahoans what would that list look like. Well here is a good guess...
5. The Long and Winding Road - Idaho is full of long and winding roads. Just ask anyone who has driven from say Idaho City to Lowman.
4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Idahoans love the military so a "Sergeant" whether he is in the Army, Air Force, Marines, on a show about an advertising guy married to a witch or in a band is going to be popular. The opening lyric is "It was 20 years ago today...". Most Idahoans I know are proud that this state is 20 years behind the rest of the country. Just today I heard a couple of high school kids talk about a new band from Seattle called "Nirvana". By the way anyone reading this is invited to my house Dec 31, 2019 to celebrate the new millennium.
3. Yellow Submarine - Idahoans love submarines. Bayview is home to a submarine testing facility. At one time most of our Navy's nuclear submariners were trained in Idaho Falls. The conning tower from USS Hawkbill (SSN-666) resides in Arco ID and the USS Boise is a sub.
1. Tie. The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill & Happiness is a Warm Gun - The one thing that Idahoans love more than their children and the dear lord above is their guns and a chance to shoot something.
