Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is yet another installment in my ongoing series The Greatest Record Made!, this time celebrating "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.
This piece was originally posted just over four years ago, on September 23rd of 2017. That was the day I saw my first Paul McCartney concert. My experience of that show is a tale told in three separate parts: the day I bought my tickets, an introduction to the day of the concert, and the concert itself. Before 2017 faded, I felt compelled to follow up with a post about my 25 favorite post-Beatles McCartney tracks (itself a sequel to an earlier Beatles Top 25).
The "Hey Jude" GREM! piece was never intended for use in my long-threatened book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1), but it meant an awful lot to me on the day I wrote it. And it's the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
