As an old fart, I can say, with authority, that nostalgia ain't what it used to was.

Sergeant Pepper was a revolutionary album, concept, accomplishment, but revolutions aren't always the best art (Guernica aside), and there are better Beatles albums, better songs, but nothing that had the impact of this one. I recall it "went gold" before it was issued -- quite an accomplishment in them days, I can tell you.

In any case, that was then and this is now and half the band is gone (3/5 if you count Billy Preston) and there's no more fab four or any such these days.

Yup. Nostalgia just ain't what it was when it was what it was but isn't now. And you can quote me.
