Brian Betten stands in front of his “yellow submarine” — a propane tank painted yellow and decorated like the marine vessel in the Beatles song. - Messenger photo by Bret Hayworth |
This 'submarine' sits by the side of US20 not far from my wife's hometown of Rockwell City, Iowa. The Messenger is the Fort Dodge newspaper. Got to wondering after I wrote 'newspaper', do they still print a real paper newspaper? Yes, they do.
You can see an older version of the submarine on Google's Streetview:
Yellow Submarine, Google Streetview |
It even has a placemark on Google Maps now.
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
The Beatles
Here's the song that started all this. I really liked the Beatles music back then, but at some point I kinda got burned out on it, and kind of tired of McCarthy's relentless cheerfulness, and I quit listening to them. Probably happened about the same time that Lennon was shot. Well, I didn't stop listening completely, I still listen to them occasionally.
