about

When I decided to do a version of this song, I innocently believed that nobody had ever covered it (oh, how wrong I was).

Funny story: right after I finished my demo of this (mid-1995), I was thinking about joining somebody else's established band, rather than forming my own. I didn't want to write for a band, just play in one, just to have some fun. Stop Hitting Me had just ended badly and I wanted to have a good time rocking out with some musicians and not have every decision carrying the Weight Of The World all the time. Better yet: I'd audition for bands as a BASS PLAYER, so I could be the guy standing in the back, just grooving, anonymously.

So I started replying to MUSICIANS WANTED ads in the local weeklies. I talked to a girl on the phone who was starting her own band, and I gathered it was going to be punk-based. I didn't really care what kind of music it was, I was hip to try anything. She asked me to send her a tape of what I could do. The first song on the tape I sent her was my newly-finished "Tomorrow Never Knows" demo. I wrapped the cassette in a short letter that explained the stuff on the tape and sent it off.

About a week later, I got a letter back in the mail. Actually, it was MY letter (sans tape). It had been crumpled up and smoothed out. Scrawled on the back of my original note were the words, "ANYONE WHO WOULD DO THAT TO A BEATLES SONG CAN'T PLAY IN MY BAND."
