i'm under 30 (barely), and i was composing a note (which i subsequently
trashed) with my answer of Abbey Road when ed's came through. i hope i'm
never in a speed reading contest with him, i'm terrifically slow. so kudos
to ed...
Abbey Road was my favorite record for several years. i used to sneak into
my parent's room after school and try to creep out with my dad's lps
without my mom noticing. then i'd hide in my room and play them until he
got home from work. he never really listened to Abbey Road, so it was a
very long time before he noticed it was missing. he liked the early years,
and i liked the later ones. Rubber Soul was the sore spot, though - i'm
surprised it's still intact given the number of trips it made back and
forth from his record to player to mine.
earlier this year i worked at an art school, and one of the students (11
years old) wore a t-shirt that had three symbols on it - a peace sign, a
heart, and that yellow triangle swirl that you use to make 45's fit on a
record player. she had no idea what it was until her mother explained it
to her. i asked all the other students, and they had never seen it before,
either. i was shocked.
