Thanks for this trip down memory lane, Bill. But wait! There's more! A stamp cost a nickel, the movie My Fair Lady came out and my family got its first color TV.
Love how they almost forgot the "L" in their Beatles banner. Stupid 60's people.
If I was a Beatle, I'd be all, "The girl, second from left, with the camera. Bring her to me for sex."
If you were a Beatle you needn't say that, just get some opium, paste it on your favorite testicle and the rest is history.
