Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Song Turn, Turn, Turn by Beatles
Giving an FNG a hard time, are we, Noreen? I think (?) what GUEST meant to say was "refresh". Even though I couldn't afford to buy many records in those days,I bought "Those were the days" when it came out, more or less the way people buy bottles of port for laying down. I thought to myself, in years to come I'll play this record and it will remind me of my youth. I suppose people in the City would call that investing in nostalgia futures. Only trouble is, I've no idea where the record is now! But I heard it on the radio recently and I had a little moment. Actually "turn turn turn" gives me quite a feelgood feeling as well when I hear it. If I hadn't seen this thread I wouldn't have known about the McGuinn/Lynne linkup, so I've learnt something today.
