Music, time and place

 

A black and white publicity photo of the Everly Brothers in 1965, standing back to back and smiling.

Where were you when you heard that the Everly Brothers had split up? I remember exactly where I was. Sitting on a train en route to a family holiday, reading the news pages in a pop music magazine. I don’t remember what the magazine was. It could have been Fab 208 but I think, because it had actual news pages, it might have been something more gender-neutral. 

Anyway, that shows how spurious the “music and memories” thing is, because that memory is not significant in my life.
