Across The Universe Day

February the 4th at 7:00 pm eastern time, NASA are transmitting the Beatles song 'Across The Universe' 431 light years away from Earth. The song will travel across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. This is to commemorate not only the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of NASA but also the original recording of the song which occurred on the same date forty years ago. They're saying Feb 4 will now be known as 'Across The Universe day'. I'm amazed we're not hearing about this everywhere. You can read about it here.

I've been thinking about hauling out my version of the song recorded in 2002, so this is as good an excuse as any. Here it is as it was when I finished it, though it could do with a re-mastering.

Across The Universe - Peter Kearns.

There is still a lot of interest in this song. My website gets found every single day by someone searching for it, even though I removed the meta-tag reference to it two years ago. I've heard you can get kicked off Google if you drag people in by your meta-tags purposefully not reflecting your text. In my case I guess the spiders have good memories.
