How Did I Miss This One?

Monday was an anniversary of sorts. According to Mental Floss Blog it was the 42nd anniversary of what is arguably one of the most important rock records ever released.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

They had a Quick 10 list on Monday that was a lot of fun and a great way to remember. Here's item one on the list:

1. The famous cover collage is known as “People We Like.” Each Beatle, except Ringo (who apparently didn’t really care) submitted a list of people they wanted to appear on the cover. John Lennon asked for Jesus and Hitler but was refused. Mae West almost didn’t allow her image to be used, asking, “What would I be doing in a lonely hearts club?” But when the Beatles personally wrote her a letter asking for permission, she relented.

There are some links to an interactive map of the cover and the infamous "Paul is Dead" controversy. (Boy do I remember that one. I'll tell you about it sometime. Or did I already? Hey, it's been a lot of years!)

Anyway, put in on the turntable iPod and get by with a little help from your friends.
