A PORTRAIT OF GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER
They say that some songs will last forever. "White Christmas", "God Bless America" and "The Impossible Dream" come to mind. In rock and roll, the tunes written by the Beatles will certainly enter into this category. Today is the 40th anniversary of the Beatles classic song "All You Need Is Love" which was performed on the Ed Sullivan Show back in 1967. How many of us way back then ever thought that these guys would ever amount to anything: especially musical legends. Not me! But then, there you are! But this day is notable for other reasons as well. Today in 1950, the Korean war began and this is also the anniversary of the massascre at Little Big Horn of George Armstrong Custer and his many soldiers: June 25th, 1876-- just days shy of the 100th anniversary of our American nation. I think perhaps the lesson we all learned that day was "The bigger you are; the harder you fall!"
