"And Your Bird Can Sing", is one of the great guitar songs from the "Revolver" album released in 1966.

One of the more memorable characters whom I've come across was Michael, a diminutive Englishman who was one of our staff at a record store where I worked for several years. He was twenty years older than most of us twenty-somethings and, because of his age and demeanor, had our respect like few other grown-ups. He was akin to that one peculiar uncle we all seem to have.
