It was 40 years ago today...

It was forty years ago today,
​

Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

​

 

And it's the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love, too! Happy Anniversary!

 

Wow, 40 years!

 

So may I introduce to you
The band that drank a thousand beers
Sgt Hetfields Motorbreath pub band!!

 

Forty years already? Egads!

 

the greatest psych pop album of all time!

 

Awesome. I've been listening to Sgt. Pepper all day.

 

WOW, that is preety long time...
it is great!

 

whoa 40 years

 

Wow is right, I was only 15 when that album came out. I bought it immediately, and listened to it a million times.


I just remembered that it was only a couple years earlier I bought Beatle cards (with gum), and had a John Lennon doll-type figurine. Oh my gosh ! I also watched the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.

 

Hey Mr.Franklin, so you're hip to the Beatles and Srgt. Pepper,huh? Ever really listened to "within you/without you" on that album? Guess what, in that song George Harrison is specifically referring to experiencing the cosmic consciousness that i have been harping on so much about. It seems with so much of the cynicism you voice about the higher spiritual ideals I talk about being Hippie, there seems to be a contradiction in terms here. Y.B.

 

omg, I hafta tell me mum

 

Damn. 40 years, huh. Sure seems like a long time.

 

It was SIXTY years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play...

Wow that really is quite amazing really..Sgt. Peppers 40 years old.

I said "It was sixty years ago today" because the song says "twenty years ago" plus the 40 = 60...

 

The world was never quite the same. My favorite album of theirs.

 

Yes! And by the way, did you notice my reference to the Summer of Love in my, Woodstock and Dead Sea Scroll Connections topic?

Let's make it happen again, but better.

 

Happy aniversary! Looking forward to the "Across the Universe" premire!

 

Wonderful moment in time when that album came out...I'm still listening today... :butterfly

 

Hey, Yogi Bhear, you made a Boo Boo. Ever listened to "Sexy Sadie"? Do you know who it is about? Guess what? It's about that pervert Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. There are other places to get "higher spiritual ideals" that are a lot less pretentious than what you are shilling on this forum.

 

I wish I could be the age I am now 40 years ago......I would be 67 today if i could be 27 then.......no problem
