Now you've got me laughing, JAM ! :grin: Hope I don't wake up the kids.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?

Who could the beatles be compared to in current times?
I heard they were big, but in the entertainment world big happens every 3 months.
No one compares! Paul is worth close to a billion $ and that is from music made in the 60's (next closest musician is about half that). If the beatles arrived today, they would own the record industry and be worth $100B+.
True, that.
EVERY baby boomer grew his hair longer with bangs and if he could talk his parents into buying a guitar, all the better.
The arrival at Shea stadium changed the world immediately on the spot, never to go back again.
I just heard of Lady Gaga, for example. Who cares? But the Beatles changed, not only the boomers, but their elders ran scared...big time scared! All the talk about the demise of the younger generation and how long hair sucked, etc.
The Beatles, then Nam, then drugs......then all the music flooded us completely, emotionally, spiritually.
It was the whole, big shebang deal, all wrapped up in a lifestyle, generation gap included, protesting, partying, getting in touch with the universe....all of it at once at full throttle.
It was exiciting and full of promise. But then reality still existed and raised its ugly head and 57,000 boomers died and the shine wore off quickly.

I was always partial to Ringo. Believe it or not, this is could have been me at Counter 1:00: Beatles! :grin-square:
They're going to put me in the movies
They're going to make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad an lonely <---Carl?
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
there’s a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned it's back on him
It's two a.m.
It's two a.m. the fear has gone
I'm sitting here waitin' the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of taken chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence all circuits are dead
I cannot decode
my whole life spins into a frenzy
Followed by...
I'm falling down a spiral
destination unknown
A double crossed Messenger
all alone
I can't get no connection
I can't get through
Where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hitman comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

They just played that song a few minutes ago on Sirius/XM 80's channel...
Talk about Twilight Zone!
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Thats my Karaoke Twilight Zone rendition.
Its actually quite good.
(I'm a vast cesspool of useless information. Of course, it's far less impressive these days with the internet, but it is handy to win beers in trivia contests. American Pie, the song, kept my table in drinks many a night!)This new world we live in...it's just not the same when a person can't have a good BS story in a bar and get away with it. I mean someone will google your BS and have the truth in 30 seconds. Sheeeesh, the nerve of these people. Trying to win song trivia when so many have Shazam....almost impossible!

The phones aren't fast enough yet that I can't beat Shazam. (On stuff from before 1990, heh.) At least I used to be able to. I find that I don't recall that silly stuff as quickly as I used to.
It is a cool program, though. I'll readily admit that I'm stumped every now and then, or I know it but can't put the name to it, and Shazam can give me the answer.
