I do think part of it was being there when it all happened.I am old enough
to have experienced the entire British invasion as it happened.Talk about
good and exciting times.The Beatles were the buzz at that time and "Sgt.
Pepper" blew everybody away."Pet Sounds" had a huge impact as well.
I do love FOW and Supergrass .I'm a huge pop fan.But they can't take the
place of hearing all the early Kinks albums.
It is amazing what happens when one clip of a new McCartney single does to
this group.All heck breaks loose.Every time.Yet they don't seem to be so
divided on Brian Wilson.[I'm not starting something}
