The Beatles
Found this in a box in the garage. Who remembers “QuickTime”? It’s still around: QuickTimeX. I really don’t remember when I last used it for anything. “A Hard Day’s Night” allegedly was the “first movie” ever digitized and offered on “CD.” I’ve included a screenshot from my PC so you can see the age of the files. There were no DVD’s back then. As far as I can remember, not much of anything. Vaguely remember the “wmv” and “mov” formats. When I tried to install it on my current PC earlier today, I got a “Catastrophic Error” message.
 A birthday or Christmas present from my mom and dad. They most likely wanted me to listen to “good music” instead of “death metal.” But many people back in the 1960’s did not like the Beatles. The sound of “electric guitars” did not score well with the “older generation.” So what has changed in 60 years?  However no post of mine would be complete without references to women.  Interestingly, last night I was watching “Goldfinger” again. After having made love to the girl who ends up painted gold, Sean Connery goes into the kitchen to get another bottle of champagne. In what was probably representative of many “older people’s” (the audience for James Bond maybe?) view of the Beatles, he says: Quote:
 I rented it on YouTube. Picked up a couple of terms: John Lennon uses the word “gear” which I guess is “good” or “awesome.”  Also George Harrison refers to a girl on TV as a “posh bird.” I think this is good...  Here’s the intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AavEpS6CI From Goldfinger, a very much alive Shirley Eaton is saying: “Andy, you are SO kinky (giggle).”  And of course in my own lifetime there was “Posh" Spice.
