Question: Anyone know -- without Googling it -- what happened 40 years ago today?
Hint: It has to do with music.
(Pause to allow time for thought.)
Answer: On January 30, 1969, The Beatles performed their infamous "rooftop concert" on top of the Apple Records building in London. It turned out to be their last-ever public performance. They played five songs before the police came and told them to pack up.
Four of our local musicians recreated the event during the lunch hour atop a downtown sandwich shop. Two guitar players, bass player, drummer (they didn't have a pseudo Billy Preston on keyboards, for some reason) played the same five songs the Fab Four played. Pretty cool. And no police.
Forty years ago already. Gosh, I feel old(er).
