It Was 80 years Ago Today The Great Depression Hit the USA

So let me introduce to you....... Sargeant Pepper's Achoooo Band.



OK, so you'd have to be 80 or 90+ years to remember that fateful day/week in American history, but we've got our relatives to remind us how hard it was just to survive way back when. Some say this is only the beginning of a long hard "Brother Can You Spare A Dime" time again in American history.

The book VOX DAY: The Return of the Great Depression talks about the Now of Nows in American Money History. Hold on to your seat belts or money belts kids, it's not good. All the questions ordinary people ask, like how can the Dow be rising while unemployment and home foreclosures continue to rise also are answered in this book.

Hint: Lies Lies and More Lies About the Economy.




Here's the words to the song that inspired today's blog title simply because it rhymed.

It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
