This song just strikes me as so appropriate, right now. And, it's one of my all time favorites.

2. i love this song... i remember being 17 1/2 and in my bfs (soon shotgun and then ex- hubby)

..garage helping him 'fix' his '48 Ford..and our friend Jim comes over and we are all talking and drinking beer and just being 17 and hearing this song on some scratchy radio. I immediately related to it and maybe thats why this memory has stayed..

Thank you....those were the days!

5. And only 18 when Paul McCartney called her up and asked her to record for the new Apple label.

I remember reading a magazine story about it when I was a lad. I recall that she was flustered, and scarcely knew what to say. "Go ahead, ask yer mum", he encouraged her gently in his Liverpudlian accent...

7. I often, in various contexts, think the phrase

"Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end."
