It was 54 years ago today...
54 years ago, John Lennon stumbled upon an antiques shop in Sevenoaks, Kent, during the filming of the Strawberry Fields Forever music video. As he browsed, an old circus poster caught his attention, sparking inspiration for his music. Inspired by the poster, Lennon wrote Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! A chance encounter in an antiques shop led to musical brilliance. This was a time when he could turn anything into a song, as evidenced by A Day in the Life from the Sgt. Pepper album.Also in News
