It was just like 1969 again last night in Los Angeles. The Beatles’s Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr rocked the house at Dodger Stadium with a rendition of “Helter Skelter” just a few weeks shy of the song’s 50th anniversary association with Charles Manson. Good times!

Seriously, Manson appropriated the song from the 1968 White Album. McCartney didn’t play it live for a long, long time. So maybe this was his way of taking it back, in L.A., with Ringo banging those delicious drums. Good for them.
