Wow! What great memories! I remember my brothers and I listening to Sgt. Pepper all the time that summer; and just being thrilled with what appeared to be (and, actually, was) such creative, exciting, strange, and different music (I think *some* of the appeal is how varied the music is, and *yet* how it "held together" so well). I have memories of how my parents even liked it!! That seemed new and strange to me too - and, truthfully, it was probably primarily "When I'm 64" and "Rita" that they really noticed a lot. Anyway, I was 19, and my brothers were 16 and 14. I'd had my mind blown out in '64 (but not in a car), of course, hearing the first record and seeing them on Ed Sullivan. Even so, this was something entirely new and mysterious.
