It was twenty years ago today, that I watched a TV special on the Beatles release of Sgt. Peppers and thought, "I really dig that." I know this because it was 40 years ago today that the album was released. The special I watched was celebrating the 20th aniversary of its release. Damn... I can't believe it has been that long.

You buying that CD that summer changed all our music tastes forever Scratch.
And thank you for that!
We must have burned a whole in that disc we listened to it so much.
The Beatles and their music has changed many lives. Sgt. Peppers is still one of my favorites.
Wander, I have to ask if it was a cd or a tape that yall listened too. Not that it makes any difference, but that gives us some perspective on how long ago this thing came out.
That was definitely a CD. I'm not sure which had a bigger influence--actually listening to the Beatles or listening to them on this cool new thing called a compact disc. I guess we all delved into the early pirating business then, too, since we all copied Scratch's CDs onto tapes so we could listen to the Beatles at our own homes.
European cars, IBM computers, leather backpacks, road bikes, inline skates, CD's--I think the Scratch clan was always ahead of the curve, at least where we grew up. Yup, I always considered Wankmaster Scratch the herald of the future.
Yeah, I got that CD the following Christmas because I loved it so much. I also got Michael Jackson's Bad, and complained to my brother about how Mom and Dad got me such a lame CD.
Then he told me that it was from him. That is quite possibly the olnly time I'm ever felt bad for something I said to my brother.
If you still even have it, I think you should regift it to your brother this Christmas.
Wank was the first of all of us to have a cd player. It rocked. I actually did not get one until Christmas '88, right after I moved to Colorado from Amarillo. My Mom got me two U2 cd's, a Sting cd, a Hendrix cd, and Enya's first cd. She had good taste even then. I was so excited to have 5 WHOLE cd's! I eventually amassed a collection near 1000 cd's.
Now it's been almost two years since I bought one. I buy all digital downloads. Times change indeed.
Although putting all those cd's on computer kept me quite busy. Can I list that as 'Worked in Music Business' on a resume?
