Play the Beatles

I have some advice

Play the Beatles

Wait, hear me out

I know some people don't like the Beatles
And by 'some people' I mean--

Fools

Regardless of whether or not you like them
Play the Beatles

On your daughter's first day of Kindergarten
While you hide in the bushes
And tell yourself that's healthy

Play the Beatles

At your son's high school graduation
Where you see that he's painted the words

'This School Can Suck It'

On his graduation cap

Play the Beatles

When you drop your daughter off at college
And you're driving home
Trying to figure out if you should take up
Stamp collecting or archery

Play the Beatles

When you fix your son's tie on his wedding day
Right before you remind him
That if he calls off the whole thing
You can have a taxi there in under an hour

Play the Beatles

When your marriage ends
When you change jobs
When you find a gray hair
Or when you turn sixty-four

Play the Beatles

Play something by the greatest band ever
And remember--

“In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Tell me that's not good advice
