Never mind Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Twenty years ago today was the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

Respect, Peace and Freedom

Great graphics!

Pink Floyd - The Wall (just to keep the Forum Rule #9 - ALL posts MUST be music related). Prophetic, eh?

Down with rules! Down with walls! Down with Communism! Down with Fascism!

We musicians, artists and intelligentsia are anarchists! Don't you know?

Sorry, but hearing "20 years ago today" does indeed bring to mind Sgt. Pepper.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOO8-Jp-xsg

and thicker and longer:

Anyone watch PBS' "How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin" last night?

My first realization that pirated songs could be beneficial -- as in changing the mind-view or mind-set of some of the world's inhabitants in a wondrous way. Then commerce shoved it's lucre-be-shatted hands onto it.

I read the news today, oh boy.

Hey, CKK! How yooo doooiiin? PM 4 ya, babe!

Funny how an expression can bring back memories. Yes 'twenty years ago today' does make one think of Sgt Pepper - such a great hook! 'Yesterday' is an even better hook and in only one single word. Man, those cats could write!

There was a special on public TV last night about how much the Russian kids of the 60's loved the Beatles. They had a regular underground record trading thing going.

So, maybe the events are sort of related. Well, kind of.

They say in business that the more formal the hiearachy, the more informal the communication. Maybe they were passing the Beatles songs via the underground?

The Russian kids were re-recording (actually "needling" the Beatle's music) (someone give me the right word) onto X-ray media (meaning those pieces of material that X-rays are printed on). They were flexible, i.e., foldable, and they'd keep them up their sleeves. On the streets, they'd sell a song thusly imprinted (Love Me Do, e.g.) for 3 rubles. These were playable on turntables.

Actually an amazing documentary. The Russian leadership appeared to be afraid of the power of ... the sound, the message, the difference, the influence?... of this new music.

I always did say Rock-n-Roll, pizza, and coke did more to stop communism than guns and bombs.

Sometimes I bring in a travel guitar (in it's little case) to work to play at lunch. People on the elevator will ask me (joking) is that a gun? I say "it's WAY more dangerous than a gun - it's a guitar!"
