I was thinking to myself, this is something he tossed off when he was a young man at the peak of his powers, around the same time he was writing Hey Jude and all those other indelible favorites, and here we are almost 50 years later, and he has thousands of people singing along with it.

I had never paid All Together Now much mind before that, but it will always be a special one for me now.
