Thats what I say.

I was 11 years old and lived too far out in the boonies. We didn’t watch TV that much because we were too busy tending to the cattle. Besides, any mention of JLennon or some such pop-culture hippy thing as this got a swift “off” on the TV set.

“We don’t have time to listen to music. You should be eating, sleeping or working.” says my father.

I was only about 7 years old at the time, but I remember the night the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. They had barely started singing when my dad got up and turned the TV off and announced that his family wasn't going to watch that crap. I think I remember it so well because my dad said crap in front of the kids and got scolded by my mom which was an unprecedented occurrence.
