music and the end of an era
42 - not just The Answer but also the age of Top Of The Pops - and tonight we've just watched the last one. This show was so much part of my life when I was younger - it started when I was eighteen - though I have to admit that, in later years, there were some styles of music that I didn't like at all. Well, that's to be expected.
You can link through to the video of the show and, from here, some classic clips: Beatles, Stones, Byrds, Hendrix, Aretha Franklin.
And I absolutely do like the final Top Of The Pops Number One - boy, things have moved on since the Beatles wanted to Hold Your Hand!

And hello to you. The grateful dead, human rights, the environment too - we have quite a bit in common
