.....sentimentality is an impediment to progress.
Those few words are powerful, Mr Molly. They resonate with me.

Nope. Imagine the alternative, parallel time stream sans Les Beatles. The idea of the ‘rock band’ (just for one thing) wouldn’t have hit as hard as it did…the list of credits due them is nuts.
"Before the Beatles, there was nothing" said someone.

Hard to quantify just how special their music is (still) and how prolific they were over just a short period.

The movie Yesterday sums it up pretty nicely.
Nothing to see here.

Starts tomorrow on Disney, which I don't have, so hoping the torrents are quick to provide...
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Doge will provide.

Latest venom is already torrenting.

They're running a first month for $1.99 special at the moment (or at least they were the other week).

Okay, am I mistaken or do I see George Cole climbing up at 8:15 minutes?

It's already on Disney plus now
I climbed on the back of a giant albatross which flew through a crack in the cloud to a place where happiness reigned all year round and music played ever so loudly
