Today's Herald celebrates 50 years of producing color photos. Thus began the golden age of smudgy fingers. It seems we're not the only ones in a nostalgic mood:
Friends are sad to say goodbye to a woman who's worked at an Everett Safeway since the 1970s. A sampling of grocery prices back then:
Campbells Soup: 10 cents a can.
Medium eggs: 25 cents a dozen.
Cinnamon Marshmallow Scooby-Doo cereal: Not invented yet. Yes, people used to live like animals.
John Lennon's handwritten lyrics to "Give Peace a Chance" from 1969 are going up for auction. They could be worth $400,000.
Meanwhile, Ringo Starr's lyrics for "Octopus's Garden" can be had for $1.65 on eBay. Always the fourth Beatle ...
And a Jimi Hendrix sex tape has surfaced, 38 years after his death. Of course, video sellers are helpfully offering to let people share the Jimi Hendrix ... um ... experience.
"Experts" were called in to authenticate the footage. The experts didn't believe it until they saw him do something amazing with his Stratocaster.
