For the first time in god knows when, the immortal Beatles song "Let It Be" is playing on mainstream FM radio here in Manila.
Thank you, Retro 105.9.
This is supposed to be a travel and lifestyle blog, but hey, I find ways to connect things, right?
In 1966, the group known as the "FAB 4" visited the Philippines. I did not exist in 1966. I was a mere afterthought.
Throughout the 1960s, the Beatles were the biggest thing in music. They were a pop culture phenomenon.
They practically, along with Elvis Presley, helped give birth to mainstream rock and roll.
As with all things revolutionary, they had their share of detractors, but their music persevered.
Today, the music of the Beatles lives on, in baby boomers, and folks like me who weren't even around in the sixties.
Immortality. Now there's a concept worth noting.
If you were immortal, all powerful, unceasingly amazing- where would you fly off to, and why?
What would you, "let be", with the power of conviction, and, the raging fervor of thought?
