Fractals of Familiarity and Innovation

I found this a very interesting read, and Hunter's response to it is classic.

It was a double headliner show. Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top. When we walked in they handed everyone a pair of sunglasses, real cheap ones. The boomers were in full effect and I was so spun I refused my free shades, thought they were a government mind control device.

Wow thanks for posting that was awesome. Especially since I'm currently reading John and Paul - A Love Story In Songs about the Beatles. I'm only up to 1963 but so far I highly recommend. 

I will share one small spoiler that I found hilarious. George Martin went to his bosses at EMI and proposed a new way of getting paid that would have been a lower salary and a percentage of the royalities. His bosses thought he needed to be taken down a notch for even suggesting he should have any input into how he was paid. As punishment they made him record a strange group of nobodies from Liverpool that no one had heard of and weren't going to go anywhere. The rest is history.
