Mike and Dave welcome Melanie and Maryjo to Mike's porch to talk about "In My Life," which we forgot to introduce at the beginning of the episode. "In My Life" is emotionally resonant, a beautiful remembrance, John Lennon processing nostalgia to focus on the present -- according to Dave. According to Mike, it's a strained effort at authentic expression that underscores Lennon's and The Beatles' emotional limitations. Everyone agrees it's a very good song and a big step forward for The Beatles. At the end, Melanie and Maryjo perform it, complete with that crazy piano interlude. The birds chirp in the background again.
