The Beatles: Doctor Robert

Track of the Week - 10 November 2019

Tenuous link alert!

Ooh - The Beatles two weeks running.

I was doing the grocery shopping on Friday (ooh, get me and my modern man ways!) when I bumped into a chap I used to be in an Amateur Dramatics* group with some years ago.

Robert, for that is his name, told me that he's now retired and volunteers at a Doctor's surgery** once a week. Doctor's. Robert. What else was I supposed to choose?

Doctor Robert was on the fab four's 1966 album Revolver. A John Lennon composition (Paul McCartney may have had a tiny bit of involvement), it's about a doctor who dishes out illegal drugs as well as the more usual medications.

* 20 years man and boy. Hardest game in the world.

** It's ok, he does admin, not prescribing.
