we are now only 2 months away, everyone under forty please take shelter

Posted by dave c (A) on April 20, 2007 at 18:00:26

In June we mark the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt. Pepper and a warning is issued to everyone under 40.
For the very sheltered, I will simply state that this was an album (please check Wikipedia to discover what they were) by The Beatles, a singing group.
There will be laughing and smiling. There will be crying. There will be hugging. There will be much cleaning of dentures and singing. And there will be curious mass renderings of an "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" that sounds like too many cats that have had their tails trodden on simultaneously.
There will be chuckling by 64 year olds at a song called "When I'm 64".
And there will be much of what looks like conducting an invisible orchestra (in fact it will be air-piano playing) at the very end of the "record".
You may wish to arrange a stay in a Buddhist retreat in order to avoid this spectacle. Except the people running it will be sharing in the "celebration".
