How to feel really old.

Bring to mind your earliest memory of Top of the Pops: The Beatles doing Get Back on the roof of the Apple Building in Savile Row. Be reminded all week that this impromptu gig took place exactly fifty years ago. Think about Paul McCartney having been one of the most famous people in the world and certainly its most celebrated songwriter for several years. Realise that, even looking older with his beard, he’s still thirty years younger than you are now. Try to console yourself with the thought that it’s technically possible that more people across the globe could see this blog than ever saw that gig. Fail.
