It doesn't seem like it's been 40 years, but it has. The picture on the left is the famous album cover of the Beatles' final record album, Abbey Road. The picture was taken 40 years ago, today. Tourists routinely have their pictures taken in the same fashion as the original. I can see that. That would be cool! I don't think it should be obsessive.
Today there was a major celebration on the 40th anniversary of that picture being taken. There was a sizable crowd on the scene. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles. They created wonderful music - nothing like it in the world! But, c'mon, boys and girls, get a life! Are your lives so empty that you should feel the need to celebrate the anniversary of a photo shoot? We are laughing at you!
Now the 40th anniversary of Woodstock! Now that's an event worth remembering!
