One of my favorite songs on The Beatles (White Album) is George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps. But, the recording for the 2006 Love album is an interesting take on it. It’s a take that previously appeared on Anthology 3, but with some orchestration George Martin added.
It’s different, but it’s good. Oh, and the lyrics are different in a couple of places.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve enjoyed Harrison’s songs for the Beatles much more. I enjoyed them when I was younger — well, most of them — but much more today.
How about you? Anything you’ve gained a greater appreciation of as the years have passed? Or is there something else you’d like to talk about? Because this is Thursday Night Open Thread. You talk about whatever you want.

I’ve really come to appreciate bacon
Get some Wright Brand Bacon:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
Lay the bacon on top of the parchment paper.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the bacon is really crispy.
Drain on paper towels and serve.
Meat Candy! I’ll never cook bacon any other way.
