    "comment": "For longtime listener Hobie! \n\n\"Hey y'all! KEXP was there to support my brainwaves while I pursued my dream of writing a novel. TWICE! Now I'm plinking away on a screenplay. Halp! Anyhow, thanks. If you can play something writing related, I'd love it!\"\n---\n\n\nThe release of ‘Paperback Writer’ came 27 weeks after its predecessor, ‘Day Tripper’/‘We Can Work It Out’. It saw The Beatles entering a phase where they were less motivated by commercial demands and more focused on musical development.\n\n‘Paperback Writer’ was an attempt by McCartney to write a song based on a single chord – possibly influenced by Indian music, but most likely a result of their marijuana use; other songs from this period, notably ‘The Word’, ‘If I Needed Someone’, and ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’, were similarly modelled.: https://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/paperback-writer/",
