Oh God, this brings back memories! My (very COOL and music loving) mother couldn't stand this song and forbid my brother and I to listen to it when the White Album first came out. Sigh. I miss that woman.


I posted this 21 years ago? Wow.

This song will always evoke memories of my high-school days (in the mid 70's). A friend and I put together a short film made up from local TV news outtakes (16mm film back in those days, and they let us dig through the trash to find usable footage). We got ahold of a bunch of footage showing anti-war protesters blocking the freeway, dancing and swaying from side to side. We used this song as the background music for that part of the film, and the movements of the protesters were in synch with the beat of the song. Do it in the road, indeed!




Cool, thanks for this.  I guess this was pre-Suella Braverman :(

I would suggest that Paul's spirited vocals are the very definition of not half-assed!
Wow. All the comments are from 20 years ago.

I love the fact that this song is followed (on the white album) by \"I Will\". A gentle McCartny song following a harse Lennon one... :)

Great story tg. I'm sure that memory will stay with you forever.

Me too, and I think this song just rocks. I am so about liberation

Why don\'t we take this off the playlist?
The White Album is the greatest slab of music I\'ve ever heard.
