@UNC71-00 what was it like?
I had already graduated at that point, so didn't affect me much.
And I was talking my whole family there this weekend. Canceling!
Sept. 16, 1999 (20 years ago today): Devastated and flooded, much of eastern North Carolina, by Hurricane Floyd.
As important as any (non religious) document in human history.
50 years ago today, 9/26/69, the Beatles released Abbey Road. It was the last album they recorded. Let It Be was released afterwards but was recorded prior to Abbey Road. Of course, I'm not telling @dadika13 anything new here, amirite?
Haha, that you are not, but great day in history. This album ranks super high on my list and the melody on side 2 on record is incredible. You just sit back for 20 minutes with your favorite drink and listen to it just continuously string through.
Some more fun facts about Abbey Road:
- John Lennon had already told the band he was leaving when this album was released.
- George wrote Here Comes the Sun in his garden when he played hooky on a recording session for Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
- Paul was afraid to record the vocals to "You Never Give me Your Money" in front of the other band members so he went to Abbey Road at 8am one morning to do them.
- The original title was going to be Everest but they didn't want to do all the photos for it so they just went outside to take the pics and called it Abbey Road.
- The drum solo on The End is the only drum solo in the entire Beatles catalog.
- Something is the first of 3 hit records recorded about Pattie Boyd, George's then wife who later married his best friend Eric Clapton.
$850 is approximately $24k in today's dollars... pretty reasonable.
Hell, I only paid $500 for my first car. What a POS... good times.
Somedays it feels like it.
At least I ain't as old as... aw, dammit...
... who's our resident old fart now that Billy's gone?
Happy birthday to you both. You two also share a birthday with our newest Tar Heel come Tuesday.
While technically not a snake, I believe OOTB bylaws stipulate that you are supposed to tag @Raising Heel.
