    Pretty amazing video!

    It’s funny how we always spell it “The Beetles” ‘cause we automatically translate it to Arabic “Al Khanafes” they are not “The Beetles” they are “The Beatles”.

    Thanks for the post.

    Also check out this book on Lennon, which covers a lot of the same themes.

    Zay.. thanks for correction :-) I fixed it.

    Actually I don’t think of the word “khanafes” when I write their name. I spelled “The Beatles” correctly when I wrote the post, but the spell checker objected so I just assumed I wrote something wrong.

    Hey.. Ahmad… Great post!—- I have been stuck with a LAN connection in our house in Khobar… so no UTUBE for me “Thank you”… and then I went to the third floor of the house…. and as a gift for my birthday.. I caught a wireless connection Anyway.. to cut a long story short.. I enjoyed the recording… and the graphics..

    …and it is so sad.. that almost forty years down the line and NOTHING has changed… war is everywhere.. and peace is becoming an abstract concept that we really would never live… to live! Hope our children would…
