Ticket to Ride

 

Off the first LP i bought, Help, back in 1966 aged 10 or 11. I only had 7/6 pence to buy the single but Mum coughed up the rest, it was 30 bob to buy the LP.

 I wore that record out, playing tennis guitar alongside in front of the mirror.

Magic.

 

Apparently John Lennon hated this song below, God knows why.

Singer / songstress Mickie Grant (d. August 21–22, 2021 (in unusual fashion she died on the 21st, came back to life, and died again on the 22nd)) penned Pink Shoe Laces, which was a hit for Dodie Stevens in '59.

 

 

Saxophonist and original UB40 member Brian Travers (d. August 22, 2021) with the Jimmy Cliff tune Many Rivers To Cross.  Off of their '83 Labour Of Love album.

All night beach parties on Anjuna beach, Goa, India in the mid 80s.

As dawn approached, Bryan hit the turntable. Hippy European chicks danced on the sand, giving their all in flimsy outfits, expressing their femininity, yes sir!.

Western hedonism and imperialism, undoubtedly.  Indians were only welcome as food and drink vendors.

Cheap brown sugar heroin for Western junkies, wasted all day in their bungalows.
