So today marks the 42nd anniversary of the last Beatles song to reach number one in our hearts and number one on the charts. The Long and Winding Road, the worst Beatles song ever. I have long held this song in contempt and Paul McCartney with it. Come to find out, it's not all Paul McCartney's fault, we also can thank Phil Spector, who would later ruin the Ramones. Apparently, Spector turned a sappy pop song, into a really awful sappy pop song. In a bit of irony this song was number one on the charts when I was born. Anyway what does Phil Spector and a Beatles song have to do with a photography blog, well nothing really. Except as a vehicle to use a completely average photo of a long and winding road. The photo is of old US 30 in Oregon snaking East toward its final destination of Atlantic City, NJ. This long and winding road wasn't ruined by Phil Spector but Dwight Eisenhower and the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956.

The last few blogs have been perfect for the book you will someday publish. Love the disconnections pulled together in a final destination at the final sentence. I'm a fan.
