I'm sure most of you remember Human League's Number One hit Don't You Want Me.

I just heard that it is now closer to the end of World War II when that was Number One than it is to today!

Its called getting old Les,

You will find yourself thinking " that was a great game when we went to Chelsea and beat them"

Then you look at the date and think " it can't be that many years ago , can it ? "

That is scary Les. I remember a friend remarking when the World at War was closer to WWII than the present day (as it was then). But Don't You Want Me Baby?!! It was a hit during my first term at uni. I feel old.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Slightly related to Les' initial post, the first group I was ever aware of was the Beatles

Their first hit was 1962 - nearly 56 years ago and still they get plenty of air time today even with the way popular music has progressed since

Go back 56 years prior to that hit and that gives you 1906!!

If you'd have asked someone at that time, just after the Victorian era, to envisage the Fab Four taking the world by storm with the the kind of music they introduced, it would have been practically impossible

I'm of an age now where the only thing I can pull is my hamstring.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
