[Lochloosa]

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released.

1. I do wonder how many one day will have no idea WTF you're talking about. FFS, then, we will feel

really really old. In my head I'm in my 20's! WTF happened to us!

[Tanuki]

2. So I guess that means it was 70 years ago today

Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play....

[Siwsan]

3. Good point!

[emulatorloo]

4. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on this

Doesn't seem like 50 years have gone by.

5. Unless you under 14 then, you already know the answer to these questions.

6. I think it's incredible that we still love 50-year old music.

It would be like listening to WW I-era music in the 1960s.

"It's A Long Way to Tipperary"!

[msongs]

8. difference between pre ww I music and 60's music way more vast than the 60's and today....

stylitistically, instrumentation,, lyrical topics, all of it

9. "Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square, It's a Long Long Way To Tipperary,

My Heart Is There"

The great John McCormick sang this song (So did Tiny Tim)

[Binkie The Clown]

7. Right? When I was a kid "fifty years ago" meant "before the Wright brothers."

Before television. Even before radio.
Before the first Ford model A.
Before motion pictures.
Back when there were still a lot of Civil War veterans kicking around.
Back when most of the pennies in my pocket were "Indian head" pennies.
My grandparents were all born in the 1800s, when we had 38 states in the union.
My parents were born when Woodrow Wilson was president.

Times files when you're having fun.

10. I clearly remember when that album came out in the summer of '67

K&R

(Thanks for reminding me how old I am)

[Lochloosa]

11. My pleasure.

[lunatica]

12. Be proud you lived it all!

I am. We have truly lived through some damn interesting times in our lifetimes. And it gets interestinger and interestinger...

It makes me want to hang in there just to see how it ends!

[LeftInTX]

13. Who would have thought back then, that 50 years later, we would be sitting at computers

talking about it and listening to it.

I pictured myself growing old and tuning in to easy-listening music.
