How interesting that this is only three years after Dick and Dee Dee. Looking back now, almost 50 years later, the comparison between the two is interesting. The Byrds - what a pile of self-indulgent crap. Even more evident if you go to YouTube and subject yourself to the ten-minute in concert extended performance. That may have been some of the inspiration behind the Spinal Tap free form performance.
Dick and Dee Dee - minor artists, very similar to Nino Tempo and April Stevens. But to my ear both of them sound stand the test of time so much better.

Yep. In the early 1980s I picked up a book listing top forty charts going back to the first one, and even then it was mind boggling how much things changed, and how completely, over just a couple of years in the early sixties.
Actually, I was intermittently focused. When my parents switched me to a new school system, for some time I spent my lunch hours lecturing the assistant principal on how stupid it was that my ninth grade science and math courses hadn't transferred because I took them "too early," and that their only solution to filling those requirements was me taking one of those classes again. After the first few minutes of the first time, he pretty much ignored me and just looked over me to keep an eye on things (he was tall; I'm still short). Not sure if he had anything to do with the rules being changed, since he wasn't the only one I ranted at, but I do suspect there were some teachers who got nervous the days they realized I was actually tuned in. I once took a history prof off on such a huge tangent, he never did the test review he'd planned on. Liveliest conversation of the year in that class, and the people involved in it really enjoyed it, however I suspect the students who never read the book but depended on his reviews to pass his tests were ready to kill me when the bell rang. No one actually said anything, but I still tried not to do that again.
I'll take a little liberty with the "rules" and say that million is a number so another number will qualify. Which lets me to segue to a Tex-Mex classic.
