Magical Mystery Tour

From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac this morning, I learned that the Beatles wrapped the filming of their movie "Magical Mystery Tour" on this day in 1967. I think they wrapped about six months too soon. The movie is nearly unwatchable.

You can tell from the introduction, that's it going to be terrible...

 

On the other hand, this era of the Beatles music is probably my favorite, and there were lots of great music videos of my favorite Beatles songs. You just have to watch the movie with your thumb on the fast forward button.

And yes, I do own it. (Sucker, sucker, sucker!)
