We recently featured "Rain" by the Beatles, the first use of backwards vocals on record. Today's song has what's thought to be the first backwards guitar track. George was said to have spent an entire day in the studio working on just this one part. John wrote the song basically to address his own laziness. The writer of a magazine interview (the one where he said "we're more popular than Jesus") was quoted in the article as saying John was the laziest person in England by now. We'll address that interview and the firestorm it caused in about two weeks on the 50th anniversary of its American publication. From the UK "Revolver" and the US "Yesterday...And Today" albums.
