Magical Mystery Tour

From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's almanac, this little tidbit from 45 years ago today...

"December 17, 1967…In London, John Lennon and George Harrison threw a party for the secretaries of their official Fan Club, during which their "Magical Mystery Tour" film was screened for the first time."

PBS showed that movie this weekend in honor of it's anniversary, and I had forgotten how profoundly weird it was. You don't need drugs. Just watch this movie. It's a very good simulation of using.

The music, on the other hand is still incredibly good. This is probably my personal favorite...
