Ben, the universe and all it's wisdom of the right answers don't just center around you. They center around everyone. It's called viewpoint.

To some, the hoola-hoop will be THE toy to say, "Where's your hoola hoop from your Tonka colection"? To which Tonka toy owners will come up with their named toy as the one above all, and may not have experienced the hoola hoop, thus declaring it just another simple toy, for they have THE defining toy moment in "their" life.

For jazz listeners, it could be something by Art Tatum or Louis Armstrong, that they will ask where's yours in your style. When you respond with Hey Jude, they might laugh, and point out the extremely basic chords and simple words, with a very long repeating of Na na na's,,,saying "Did Paul ran out of things to say for those ending three chords"? They might point out Elenore Rigby as the song you should be saying. smile. Or A Day in a Life.

Viewpoint comes in many and adjustable colors.


For The Beatles, for me, the moment was Ed Sullivan! Feb, 9th, 1964. Nothing topped that since. Not even their songs through the next 6 years in total, as much as I loved most and still do.

So, for me, my Ed Sullivan moment blows away your Hey Jude moment by a long ending! But it can't, in fairness to you, if you have YOURS. Let others have theirs, for any artist, for any song, for any moment that has meaning to them. Scorecards are for stats. The other are feelings that "seem" to trump all else.

Peace!
