A little backstory on Hey Jude: The Beatles' biggest U.S. single -- nine weeks at Number One -- was also their longest, at seven minutes and eleven seconds. During the recording sessions, the Beatles' producer, George Martin, objected to the length, claiming DJs would not play the song. "They will if it's us," John Lennon shot back. Paul McCartney wrote "Hey Jude" in June 1968, singing to himself on his way to visit Lennon's soon-to-be-ex-wife, Cynthia, and their son, Julian. The opening lines were, McCartney said in The Beatles Anthology, "a hopeful message for Julian: 'Come on, man, your parents got divorced. I know you're not happy, but you'll be OK.' " McCartney changed "Jules" to "Jude" -- a name inspired by Jud from the musical Oklahoma! -- and presented a demo tape to Lennon, who loved the song. |

What ever you called it, we called it home. In 1968, Jacksonville's first commune, located at the end of University Blvd. on the St. John's River. 2 bungalows and a fishing cabin on the dock. Pete and Lorelei and Samantha- Susan, Craig, Jeff, Cathy and Michael and a cast of hundreds. What fond memories.... Do you have a story or an anecdote or pictures about the life at River House/Woods House? I would like to hear about it... craigandalberto@tortillabay.com |
