I feel old

I've just had to explain to Jodie who The Beatles were so she could get the gag in the cartoon she's watching.

On that criteria then they're only just in your time then. You are about the same age as Harry aren't you...

actually I would have said that they were "just before" my time. they certainly weren't a major influence on the charts when I started buying records. I knew of them, but only when my Dad played their records.

Any group your Dad listens to is automatically "before your time"!!!!

My Dad listened to Deanna Durbin, or as he sometimes called her Dena Dustbin.

considering that John Lennon left the group in 1969 - so the band broke up then - and I wasn't buying singles or LPs till I was about 14 - back then one's music buying career tended to start later. Kids of Jodie's age didn't know about the charts and actual pop music - we got Ed "Stewpot" Stewart playing stuff like "Three Wheels On My Wagon" and "The Runaway Train", or even "The Laughing Policeman".

Thats one thing that can definately stay in the past. These days they go straight to Radio 1.
