For the past week, a surprising Beatles track has infiltrated my mind. I hadn't thought of the song, "Mr. Moonlight," in years. I don't dislike it, but even as a child, I thought, "This is a Beatles song?" To me, it falls somewhere between a novelty song and an oddball folk tune that wouldn't have been out of place in the movie, "A Mighty Wind." During the organ solo, I can imagine Harry Shearer launching into his truncated "tentacles of the moon" monologue.
What a bizarre image to have in mind when trying to digest the complexities of an editorial about world affairs...
