June 1, 1967 -
It was 46 years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.
The Beatles officially released their new album and was certified "gold" on the same day of release.
It topped the charts all over the world, holding the number one slot in Britain for 27 weeks and for 19 in America. It received four Grammys including Best Album.
The album is a strange mix of songs about drug use, contrasting personae of the songwriters, heroin injection, teenage runaways, circuses (yeah right, more drug use), deep introspection, aging, amorous traffic enforcement agents and the mundane things in life, among other things.
What a cheerful album!
