Well, I WAS not only born well before the sixties, but was at college when the Flower Power/Summer of Love Revolution happened, with soundtrack by the Fabs and a whole lot of other very good bands who were all feeding off each other and driving each other to new creative heights. A good time to have been young, alive and a musician. Probably the most innovative period in popular music that there has ever been. Certainly, however good some songwriting has been since, there has been nothing to touch the sheer creativity of the time. And the Beatles were, quite simply, the "toppermost of the poppermost", the ones who took the lead, style-setters, gurus, Yoko and all. And when you look at the synthesised crap that passes for popular music these days (don't get me started.....). If it wasn't for new artistes like Thea Gilmore, I'd be in despair, I really would. And yes, I teach my guitar student kids "Ob-la-Di" and "Yellow Submarine", they love it! Of course the music will last, it's that good.
