What Might Have Been

Juan, Pablo, Ringo,
If they were Spaniards
With Jorge a-strummin'
Would have been great!
Escarabajos!
Ed Sullivan madness!
Can't buy me fiction
E'en though it'd be great.

I love the seemingly randomness of this poem.

Ah to be a generation removed....

LW, I'm not sure what was in my Cheerios that morning.

John, the Beatles were the first band I loved and I got to know them quite well, but, as you say, I was always a generation removed. At first I was bummed about this, but as I've aged I've come to identify less and less with the 60s.
