On the subject of an pound note being worth something back in the day... I was in a Hampton Court sweetshop as a 8 year old in the mid-70s with a five pence piece to spend and recognised the bloke talking to the shopkeeper as early childhood TV hero Michael Bentine. He was so chuffed to have his Potty Time enthusiastically praised by a young fan he extracted a crisp, green pound note from his wallet and instructed me to help myself. I filled two paper bags with sugary treats and Michael still got some change. Could've bought two bagged Airfix kits for a quid back then.

"Pop" Songwriting became Self Obsession and Self Indulgence in the 1960's and we have John Lennon to Blame for that Boredom.

The Band’s ”Christmas Must Be Tonight” is one of the world’s most forgotten Christmas songs. So beautifully written! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2bFfKeIipWEbMUsi=P9ceX9NRuxv762di

There is no more christmas songs, or any others songs, they've all been done, all we now have are variations of something that was done better.... pop is basically dead..... bland retreads are now the charts
