Edição Histórica 252
While Liverpool is 800 years old, Dustin Hoffman’s Mr. Magorium is 243, Seattle’s Pike Place Market is 100, and India is 60 years without Gandhi.
While Fergie plays with who she is not, New Yorkers eat garbage that is not, Hay-on-Wye sells royal titles that are not, and Western Style users dress as the cowboys (and girls) they aren’t, we get to know that Yellow Submarine was only a song for children, and that Ringo Starr is still living peace and love. Are you going to need help? Or maybe you think radio is bound to end? Can we still make it?
What is all this about?
A short history of nearly everything, between Edinburgh and Braided Hair.
Happy Reading!
