Who are my idols?

So I wandered off to You Tube, lured by the promise of "Rolling Stones Best Songs Ever - Full Album - YouTube".

Am I losing it, so early on in my life? :scratch:

Well, you know, one of the first singles by the Rolling Stones was "I wanna be your man", written and composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney...
Best wishes,
Hans

Well, you know, I didn't know that.
I do remember thinking that it was a fake "competition" between the goodies and the baddies, a feeling confirmed by my reading this week of "Johnson's Life of London", by Boris Johnson.
Happy Old Year

been there, read that.
There truly is a 2012 book "Johnson's Life of London", by Boris Johnson.
I found it to be a great read.
Boris is obviously "boosting" London.
Cheers
