I have the DVD and lent it to a young lady from work. She's 22. She wants to keep it! She says she's blown away by the artwork and the music, didn't think we old farts could rock. She had a viewing party with a few of her friends and not one of them had heard of this film, just the song. They watched it a couple of times.

I gave it to her as a gift.

Now she's studying to be a preschool teacher at Eastern WA State.

There's hope for our schools yet!

David - She doesn't know what all she missed by not being one of the "old farts". Maybe this will give her the urge to dig a little deeper into our musical past.

Maybe there IS still hope for the education of future generations with young people like this young lady.

"Willya still need me, willya still feed me..." is no longer a rhetorical question around here. So far, so good...

BTW, I didn't have to watch the vids to hear the songs. My brain played 'em on auto at the mere hint.

I love the Beatles! I'll never forget a moment from college - I saw Paul McCartney walking down the street (in NYC) and I said to the kids I was babysitting, "I think I just saw one of the Beatles." And they looked down at the sidewalk and said, "Where?"

Grandpa Eddie said...

Gordon - We don't ask that here either.

Yeah....I could visualize them, too. I guess there's some things the memory banks never lose.

Riot Kitty - That's funny!
I was talking with my eldest son about music in front of my 11 yr old grandson and I happened to ask my son if he had any Beatles tunes loaded on his 'puter, and the grandson says "Beatles are bugs, grandpa." He knows who they are now...and actually likes them.
