That’s my car! ;-)
LOL!
I saw Ringo and the All-Starrs last night; it was a good time!
If every bit of music involving an autotune disappeared at midnight tonight, the world would be a much better place tomorrow.
One thing that blew my mind is that the Garden Fete was a celebration of the 750th anniversary of Liverpool being granted its charter.
One of the things I am grateful for in the timing of my birth (1952) is that I was the perfect age to be a Beatles fan.
There is simply no way of explaining to someone what is was like to go down to the local Kresge’s to pick up a brand new Beatles album and being completely blown away at how it was like nothing that had ever come before it.
Nowadays you are just presented with their catalog fully formed with no context or sense of place.
The TV show Mad Men brought that home recently with an episode where the ad guys are looking to get to the “yutes” by adding a Beatles or Beatles-like song to a commercial. Don Draper says...”They all sound alike....”
He goes home to his new, young bride who says, “Listen to this” and puts on Revolver, second side, last cut and “Tomorrow Never Knows” starts playing through the headphones.
Imagine...from “I Want To Hold Your Hand” to “Tomorrow Never Knows” in three years!
You’re welcome—glad you enjoyed it!
