get rid of those john lennon glasses!

[muschelmund]

as you know, i'm a huge fan of the 60ies, and am especially smitten by the end of this decade. woodstock would've been the festival for me to attend, not because of love & peace, but the many outstanding musicians!

but whatever, this little cartoon was found on the wonderful blog dreamtime - a commentary inspired by bob dylan's theme time radio hour - and it shows the difficulties in mentioning 'the who' and now i'm off rolling around on the floor!
