Some asshole on another thread was defending Monsanto and GMO's once again. This video saved my investment in my computer from a violent outbreak.

Yeah, those Monsanto trolls can be REAL @$$holes! Time to take a breath of fresh air and chill out before returning to the front lines to save the planet.

I've never seen this before, only heard the legend. Yikes, Macca was a baby! But they all were. Hell, WE all were! And JFK was still alive. Camelot. Hope. Goddam..

the Queen Mother's reaction at Lennon's cheeky remark. I gotta look for that one and post it.

That was John. Willing to poke fun at the 1% back then.

That remark was legendary

Enjoyed this! I lived through it, and it was an exciting time. I'm afraid that younger folks don't have anything to compare it to. The British invasion, Viet Nam, Civil Rights, what an incredible decade. Thanks......

without earpieces? Astounding. These vocals are recording session quality. Then they go on the road and no one can hear them over the screaming. Gosh.

the legendary Shea Stadium concert in 1965. Saw, not heard. From the moment they stepped onto the field, the sound was of non-stop screaming (including me I'm sure). I only knew what songs they performed by reading in the newspaper the next day.

Yup...screaming from the moment they appeared. And so far away they were little beetles

separately from the TV camera. Watching it live in '64 on TV, the picture was good, just in B&W. But what we have now is some poor copy. It's like the experience of watching What's My Line when the guest revealed he saw Lincon's assassination; a worm-hole in reality, only reversed and repeated on a mass basis: Watch a high-grade live TV show once, and it's gone forever.
