It keeps trying to make me listen to that. It's one of those ones, a lot of mixes are like this, where it seems great for the first ten minutes but then you realise it's absolutely fucking awful

Admittedly I skipped about an hour into it and it quickly threw up that 'Imagine' tune which I think is as lovely as a summer's day in january.

So fsr we've got the conspiratorial model droid put forward (the Beatles are big because They rammed it down our throats) the circular model version offered (the Beatles were big cos the preconditions for a Beatles shaped event were present and the naive explanation corpsey gave us (the Beatles were big cos people liked them)

Pelorus Jack (fl. 1888 – April 1912) was a Risso's dolphin that was famous for meeting and escorting ships through a stretch of water in Cook Strait, New Zealand, for 24 years between 1888 and 1912. Pelorus Jack was usually spotted in Admiralty Bay between Cape Francis and Collinet Point, near French Pass, a notoriously dangerous channel used by ships travelling between Wellington and Nelson.[1][2]

How he got his name is uncertain. It is recorded in the book Breverton's nautical curiosities : a book of the sea that he was named after the pelorus, a marine navigational instrument.[3] However, Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand, says the name came from Pelorus Sound because it was at the entrance to that stretch of water where he would regularly meet ships to accompany them.[4]

Pelorus Jack was shot at from a passing ship, and was later protected by a 1904 New Zealand law.[5]
