Caveat to Pepper



This weekend witnesses the 40th anniversary of the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Last month saw the 40th anniversary of a more subtle, but no less gorgeous pop moment, the release of the Kinks "Waterloo Sunset."

If the Beatles "got by with a little help from their friends," then Ray Davies seems almost bemused to admit "but I don't need no friends."

No disrespect to the Beatles, but I think I'll hang around North London with Terry and Julie. I don't think Lovely Rita Meter Maid will miss us.
