Funny, is...I often wondered about the Beatles too.<br /><br />Funny, isn't it, how they disbanded not long after the sixties ended. They did the job they were given to do and then broke up.<br /><br />I still remember when my brother brought home from work a 45 of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". The jacket had a picture of them on it. My mother and I laughed at these men with long hair. We had never seen such a thing.<br /><br />VeronicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-79298333448134067202011-03-07T13:40:58.058-05:002011-03-07T13:40:58.058-05:00I didn't know that St. John ran out of a bath ...I didn't know that St. John ran out of a bath house!<br /><br />What have we come to?

I don't have that many years left (nor would I want to have them...life hasn't been a bowlful of cherries).<br /><br />Please God I will be with Him when this occurs.<br /><br />Veronica<br /><br />P.S. It began before the sixties and came to fruition during the infamous Council (sorry to call it such, but I am certain that in two hundred years or so it will be regarded that way). This is what happens when the powers that be in our Church do not clamp down on heretics when they should and relegate them to a place where they will do the least amount of harm. Don't ever forget that the beloved disciple, St. John, ran out of a bath house rather than be under the same roof with a heretic so great was his horror of anyone who distorted the truth, even if they leave 99% of the Truth intact. All you need is that 1% of poison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-50900472196492063592011-03-07T06:36:28.017-05:002011-03-07T06:36:28.017-05:00Jeanette - I've never seen Cinderella man.

A lot ...You know, Carol, I have wondered that too. A lot of tumultuous events in the sixties and seventies -- it's hard to pinpoint the major cause. <br /><br />The confluence of many upheavals including the civil rights movement, Viet Nam war, the Pill, drugs, the Timothy Leary (was he Irish?) "turn on, tune in, drop out" philosophy destabilized society and devastated the culture. <br /><br />Personally, I blame Ed Sullivan (was he Irish?). If he'd never had the Beatles on, we might have muddled through. Four Merseyside bounders who couldn't sing, caterwauling their moronic lyrics, and the world goes nuts over 'em! <br /><br />Yup. It was Ed Sullivan. I'm sure of it. ;-)Jack O'Malleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-4929164822255064462011-03-05T22:35:49.561-05:002011-03-05T22:35:49.561-05:00Jack, thanks for adding your beautiful memories. ...Jack, thanks for adding your beautiful memories.

I also remember sitting on the porch when everyone knew everyone else and they all stopped to chat on an evening's walk and you saw them all at Sunday Mass and Benediction, before there were Saturday afternoon quickie masses. And you fasted from midnight to be worthy of the reception of the Body and Blood of our Lord. <br /><br />And not a few of those vespertine visits were ended with "pray for me" or for him or her or them. <br /><br />And the parish priest was an occasional visitor and your parents would by chance meet a nun on the street and say "God bless you, Sister, you're doing the Lord's work." And in those days, in their habits, they were indeed doing the Lord's work.<br /><br />Where did it all go astray?Jack O'Malleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-57100659605895494352011-03-05T21:39:32.181-05:002011-03-05T21:39:32.181-05:00Veronica, Maria and Caroline - thanks for your kin...Veronica, Maria and Caroline - thanks for your kind words. <br /><br />Boston has a unique vantage point.
