Alternate Histories Far Superior to Your "Reality"

There's something to be said about revisionist history. Or alternate history. Okay, okay, sometimes it's just about as dull as it comes, but what about all those times you find your mind unexpectedly blown like a balloon coated in plastic explosives?

I give unto you an alternate history that fits neatly in the middle. Isn't that nice? I mean, who wouldn't mind a world where the Beatles got back together? And it was great? And it was because Ringo dabbled in time travel? Sounds good to me.

You might as well chase the above article with a few of the tracks of this fictional Beatles album. It's not perfect, but a few of the track are just close enough to great that you can feel the dimensions bending.
