Off Topic 50 years ago today...

...that the iconic photo of the Beatles on the Abbey Road crossing was taken. Next week it is fifty years since Woodstock. As Sandy Dennis sang, where does the time go?

 

Is this the music thread ?

 

Nah. It's the knitting circle, 50 years later.
Almost attended Woodstock, but the bloody car broke down before we left Sudbury, Ontario. Biggest disappointment of my life. As students on a working assignment in Canada, we had zero cash to fix the bloody car. A month later, my mate (best man at my wedding) dumped the vehicle in New York.

 

I watched a documentary on it and it said the smell was disgusting with people not getting washed for weeks !
They all hung around Haight Ashbury for weeks on end .

 

Are you talking about Bransholme?

 

That's a bit Naughty to the people of Bransholme

 

No wonder they stank - it's a **** load of miles from New York State to 'Frisco. Yasgur's Farm was somewhat short of ablution facilities I'd heard.
Probably a lot of hitchhikers travelling Westwards to California after the gig !

slightly better version...

Everyone used to stink in the olden days. We used to get a bath once a week whether we needed it or not.

You obviously never went to a party in the 70s.

 

Ah yes, the 70's. The era when sniffing bicycle seats was all the rage.

 

Speak for yourself, perv.

 

So you've reformed - good on ya.

 

I was to young mate

 

I gathered that

 

Hence why Brute and Hai Karate were splashed all over, literally .

 

Also 50 this year.

 

Nowadays men smell more fragrant than women.

 

A bit of Beatles triv for yous….

What was airbrushed out of the original Abbey Road crossing photograph, in 2003 by an American poster company?
