Happiness is a warm gun

    A song by the Beatles.

    From the article :
    According to Lennon, the title came from the cover of a gun magazine that producer George Martin showed him: "I think he showed me a cover of a magazine that said 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' It was a gun magazine. I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something."

      Ma'm, yes ma'm !

      C'est le titre d'une chanson des Beatles qui a été reprise par pas mal de gens. La version de Tori Amos me fascine. A vrai dire, cet album me transporte.

      des envies de violence ?

      Thao: oui, mais ce n'est pas le sujet. ;-)

      Voir ma réponse à Blandine, les tags et la légende que j'ai complétés.
      D'ailleurs, je recommande l'album de Tori Amos en question aux amateurs de Lloyd Cole -- mais pas que...

      C'était mon trip "le deuxième amendement, c'est mal", grandement inspiré par les délires des chacals cette semaine.

      Les couleurs se complètent bien.
      Goûter cette image, ça doit procéder d'une sorte de syndrome de Stockholm, right ?

      Blandine: ça me rassure.

      Jekkyl: merci.
      Oui. Ça ou être membre de la NRA.

      No, I don't. And I certainly won't.
      Read the effin' caption and tags: this photo is NOT a eulogy, moron.

      And, in turn, the inspiration for the magazine was the Charles Schulz book entitled, "Happiness Is a Warm Puppy".
