Singing from the rooftops ☀️
THURSDAY | 1.30.25
On January 30, 1969, the folks on the roof of the Apple Corp headquarters in London were witness to a live performance by The Beatles. 55 years ago today, Sally in the building next door, Sally’s neighbor taking their lunch break, the stray cats in the alley, and anyone else on the street was graced with five brand new tracks by the lads from Liverpool. All those lucky ducks and cats got to go home and tell their friends, “I just saw John, Paul, Ringo, and George singing from the rooftops." The cats likely just went on catting. As it happens, the surprise show would be the band's final public performance. The beginning of the end of Beatlemania. But apparently, the whole thing was really more of a rehearsal. After the final take, John quipped, “I’d like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition.” Thankfully the whole thing was recorded, so you can be the judge of that 55 years later by watching the magic unfold here. If you happen to hear about Portugal. The Man on a rooftop today please let us know. Thank you for checking out today's edition of the Afternoon Delight.
The Search Continues
Quick pennies are hard to come by these days. Good news is that 31 of the most valuable treasures are still nowhere to be found as of 2025. Might be about time we invest in a metal detector.
The Case for Ketchup
The editor is a big fan of tomatoes, so she made us put this one in here. We’re not sure if “seafood pickle juice” really helps the case for ketchup though. Hey, to each their own.
