Another little part of our youth slipping away.

Paul was also wearing white which, as I recall, is a symbol of death in Hindu.

I just this evening got back from a trip to LA where I was listening to KRTH (K-Earth 101), one of the great oldies stations in the country because they still have some of the legendary jocks of the 60's on thier air -- and, of course, they were playing lots of Beatles music all day along with sound bites.

They were flying the flag at the Columbia Records headquarters at half staff.

When I was in London last I went by the "Abby Road" corner -- allegedly the most photographed corner in the world -- and bought my wife a present on Carnaby Street. Just so I could say I'd been there.

I think they called George "the Quiet Beatle." In relation to Lennon and McCartney, that was probably true.

During college I interviewed Terry Kirkman, lead singer and writer for The Association and he pointed to "Sgt. Pepper" and the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" as the two most important albums in the history of rock -- at least to that point. Interesting that tragedy and misfortune has plagued both bands.

The Beatles helped define not only our generation, but the course of rock and roll from that time forward.

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance..."

"And in my hour of darkness, there is still a light that shines on me...

There will be an answer, Seeking words of wisdom, Shine on 'till tomorrow..."

Let It Be...
