My dad once said they were allright until they got into 'all that trancendental meditation lark' - Beatles were ace - mccartney was great after the beatles too - band on the run is faultless , he totaly lost it in the 80s - the only decent thing lennon did post-beatles was Imagine ( in my opinion)

Very true. Esp in terms of radio airplay. But is it so surprising given we're now almost half a century away from Sergeant Pepper's first release? Scary if I think about that too much. I think they've done their bit for music.

Because no one had ever done a lot of what they did before.


There was a recent program about Jimi Hendrix in which someone said along the lines of "we've all seen the videos now and it seems old hat, but if you were there in that crowd seeing this wild man setting his guitar alight, it would have blown your mind".


The Beatles were doing things that had never been done before, they were prog rock before prog rock existed.

    • Who do you prefer: Lib Dem leader Ed Davey, who had earlier in the week voiced his support for Rayner, given her caring duties for her son, tells the BBC he hopes the government can "move on and deal with the huge problems millions of people in our country face". Davey adds that it's "clear" her position became "untenable". "It was inevitable," says Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, adding that "you can't be housing secretary and avoid £40,000 of stamp duty". Farage says Rayner's resignation as deputy leader of the Labour party and deputy PM will trigger an internal election within the Labour party - and "you're going to see the hard left of Labour shouting very, very loudly".
    • You are welcome to mine!  Tthey are pests (assuming you are talking about feral pigeons).  We have occasionally wood pigeons, but once the feral ones arrived the wood pigeons disappeared. I feed tits, finches, robins, great spotted woodpecker and other birds from time to time when they appear.  I used squirel proof feeders.  
    • Every day at 12 oclock I take out the food to put on the bird feeder. The pigeons, always being very punctual, form a very orderly queue in true British style on the roof of my shed and take it in turns to partake of the feast. (Other birds do get a look in eventually) . However, today, not one single bird has come anywhere near. The sky is silent. What do they know that I don't. Any ideas?
