I was in a fast food resturant this week. I was wearing a tee-shirt with an
image from the Beatles cartoon show.
The clerk, who looked every bit of 16, asked me what the Beatles were and why it
wasn't spelled like the insect. I must have looked at her like I was
dumbfounded and she got a little scared. She told me that she thought she heard
her dad talk about them the other day with one of his friends and she thought it
might be a band. (A band !!!)
I proceeded to sing a little of "She Loves You" and "Yesterday". She was like
"I know those songs but I thought they were folk songs".
At 54, I felt extremely old. I told her that they played those songs on AM
radio when I was in elementary school and that I had the 45 of Hello
Goodbye/Penny Lane. I could tell that that was completely foreign to her.
Tom, who remembers when groups had two sided hits.
