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.

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.
