John Lennon wrote Imagine before The Beatles broke up.

Imagine could have been a Beatles song. And perhaps should have been.

Not sure all the Beatles had the same idea of the world that John Lennon put forth in the song Imagine. So it probably would not have been recorded by the Beatles.

I disagree, but of course our opinions are wild speculation. Dozens of books have been written about the internal dynamics of the Fab Four.

I saw this in an article about a recent interview with one of the two surviving members, Ringo I believe, who said Imagine could have been a Beatles song if the group had not split up when it did.

Even though Hogan's Heroes didn't have a chronology and the last episode to be televised was "Rockets or Romance", we can know that, in story time, the actual last episode must have been "The Gold Rush".

This is because in every other episode, the steps to Klink's office were still made of wood.

I did not know that, I did not hear that, I see nothing!

In a Gadda Da Vida was actually supposed to be "In the garden of Eden" sung by a very drunk Doug Ingle.

The Beatles had a clause in their contract that said they would not play to any audience that was segregated.

In L.A. Woman, Mister Mojo Risin is an (vague) anagram for Jim Morrison.

I just heard that on the radio the other day. It didn't surprise me considering JM had such a big ego.

Jim Morrison’s dad was commander of the US carrier group involved in the Gulf of Tonkin incident which led to the escalation of the US in Vietnam.

I giggle whenever I read that name - John Paul Jones' french spelling errors preserved forever.

The couple who claim to be on the iconic Woodstock poster and album cover are sadly mistaken.

It is a close friend of mine and a woman that he met in Canada the week before the festival. They have had no contact in over 50 years, yet they tell the same story about how they met, how they came to be in that pose, and how they noticed the photographer taking their picture (her story appears in a couple of newspaper articles where she tries to set the record straight). I have seen other pictures of them and other pictures of the blanket from my friend and have no doubt about his veracity. But the legend is a cuter story and to quote (paraphrase?) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”

I'm not familiar with the story that is untrue that is a "legend.'
Would you say more about that story?

Meet The Couple On The Iconic Woodstock Album Cover — Still Together After 50 Years

When Nick and Bobbi Ercoline went to Woodstock, they had no idea that a photographer would capture their moment of tender embrace amid the chaos.

Maybe she had a lot of college debt to pay off, so she got into wrestling.

The legend is in an above post. The reality is this link:

‘We just clicked:’ B.C. woman still wistful about her summer lover in 1969 Woodstock photo

Jessie Kerr, 70, says that's her and 'Jon from Boston' in the photo, and after Woodstock he came to Vancouver to knock on her door

My friend told me the identical story years ago. The couple in the legend seem to have made their claim to fame a lifelong hobby.

The woman's voice on your GPS is Karen Jacobsen an Australian native that moved to the United States. She is know as the only woman that men take directions from.
