Going back in time
I love 1966. The Beatles, mini-skirts, the World Cup win: an England casting off the last dullness and depression from the war and celebrating in Technicolor to become Cool Britannia (version 1.0).
Of course, I wasn’t born until 1980. I learned all about 1966 – that goal, those records – from World Cup 06 specials invoking the 66 win for a halo effect, from re-issued CDs with bonus tracks, from Austin Powers, from ‘I love 1966’ clip-shows on TV. I love 1966, but I was never there.
