Quoted from zipp

All the British now love the Beatles because they're part of the 'good old days', but in the sixties they often gave them a hard time.

This is what I originally said and I still believe it's true.I didn't  compare them to the Stones or anyone else then or now.

As for Paul and 'drugs'.he didn't say 'I take drugs', he said 'I took LSD' which you've said yourself was not illegal so could be discussed.
Because he was a Beatle he was then told he had too much influence on the youth and should shut up.Questions were asked in Parliament etc.
I think Paul was right to tell the truth and the reaction was absurdly over the top.

To put it in context though, this was the year that The Times saw fit to run an editorial codemning the Stones drug sentences as being due to their celebrity status, and the year Jagger was interviewed on World In Action to explain why youth was in rebellion. Pauls comment was made in a climate of general hysteria over youth and drugs . It was bound to provoke a response, and if that response seems over the top now, well, they were over the top times.

Quoted from Kevin

well, they were over the top times.

So, in fact, you're agreeing with me that they weren't the good old days.

Ha ha. Very good. It definately wasn't all roses. no. But then again, never said it was.
That was fun.

And I'm still angry with the BBC for not showing that Hello Goodbye clip and showing some Hard Day's Night footage instead.

Damn right too! Bastards always did give The Beatles a hard time.

Can someone tell me if it's possible to copy the vids from You Tube onto DVD?

There's a tutorial from Kate on the bootlegforum on how to capture video's of YouTube and other videosites. That's how you can get them onto the harddisc on put them on a dvd from there.

Great. It's what I needed to know. I  just didn't understand that it meant they could be copied to DVD also.

Quoted from Bobber

Sandra, I'll tell you what. PM me your home address and I'll send you a c/py on dvd.

Bobber could you possibly send me a copy? I would really appreciate it!!

thank you very much but I won't be able to watch it because I have dial-up and videos of any sort are very hard to watch.

Remember this was the 60's. It's a long time ago. Things that we take for granted now were thought incredibly risque at the time. The Beatles were 'long haired gits'. Even worse, they were the devil in the US.

I remember my parents at the time moaning about 'that bloody racket!', and about the way young people dressed. I remember thinking - I'm not going to be like that when I'm their age.

So then I hear myself moaning about people who wear baseball caps back to front, no laces in their trainers, and the crutch of their jeans hanging down by their knees!!!

Ha! You're so right. Sometimes I see teenagers, in the prime of their lives, their futures stretching out endlessly before them, acting as if they invented cool and are the most special people in the world. and you want to grab them and say "I was like you once you know. i used to think I was it as well. Enjoy it, cos it won't last."
But you can't, because you have to carry the drycleaning and you don't want to loose your seat on the bus because your gout's giving you jip. So you go home and put a record on, but your wife turns the volumn down, and anyway the news is on in five minutes.
