From 1994 to 2000, Jeremy's main hobby was collecting music from 1967. As he was doing this, he became more immersed into the popular culture of that era. Here's what remains.

"Penny Lane" by the Beatles
This is the Beatle's first #1 hit of 1967. Last week, I dressed up like the Penny Lane Beatles for Halloween. Some people said I looked like Ringo, others George, and a few John. I bore no resemblance to Paul.
"Penny Lane" was released as a single at the end of 1966 with "Strawberry Fields Forever" as its B-side. Later in 1967, both songs were released on the B-side of their Magical Mystery Tour LP. I am a bigger fan of "Strawberry Fields Forever," but "Penny Lane" delivers the same feeling but with a lighter mood. Perhaps that is why it was #1 and the other not.
