Dear Prudence-The Beatles

yes. I broke 1000 views. here is some information about this song you might like to know. "Dear Prudence" is a song written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was initially performed by The Beatles and is the second track on the 1968 double-disc album The Beatles (also known as "The White Album"). It was recorded in one take at Abbey Road on 28 August 1968.

The song is about actress Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence, who was present when the Beatles visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India. Prudence, focused on meditation, stayed in her room for the majority of their stay. Lennon, who was worried that she was depressed, wrote this song for her, inviting her to "come out to play". While the Beatles left the course, Mia, Prudence, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, and others, stayed and became Transcendental Meditation (or TM) teachers. Prudence now teaches elementary school along with her husband, and they both still practice TM, and advanced versions of it, and may still teach TM.

This song, along with the preceding track "Back in the U.S.S.R.", features Paul McCartney on drums rather than Ringo Starr, who had recently walked out. Starr returned after the recording of this song to find flowers waiting for him on his drumkit.

Lennon considered this song to be one of his favorite Beatles songs, and his son Julian Lennon has named it his favorite.

In 1987, Lennon's original handwritten copy of the lyrics was sold at auction for $19,500.

I don't understand the 61 people who don't like this song.

Yeah, Prudence could give everyone $100 for listening, and 67 or so still would not like her! Those are the same people who vote against their own best interests in political elections, just to spite someone else. But, this is one of those great Beatles songs, impossible not to like but for a bad gene here or there. :)

My dad wanted to name me Prudence after this song

though I'm glad I didn't end up with that name, I still feel a closeness to this song
