DU Boomers: Was life better knowing there would be another Beatles release next year?
Seriously - The Beatles must have been some kind of guiding light through a very tough time...

Was this any kind of consolation?

5. I lived in the UK
We didn't have the Vietnam War but we did have a 4 minute warning against nuclear attack!
The Beatles definitely made life much more worth living!
