I'm celebrating 40 years of being 'pop-free'!

Sgt. Pepper convinced me that pop music was not only crap but had become, with this album, pretentious crap as well. For me it marks the point when pop music was taken over by, what I think of, as 'British Art School Arty-Wankers' - people who should get a proper job and stop patronising, boring and attempting to mystify the rest of us! It's no coincidence that Sgt. P was followed, in a few years, by the biggest pretentious wanker of all - David Bowie!
