It was considerably more than 20 years ago today.
Liverpool is preparing to celebrate the golden anniversary of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles album released on 1 June 1967 and regularly voted the greatest album of all time.
The 50th birthday of the pop music landmark will be a three-week romp covering the city from the Unesco world heritage waterfront to living rooms in Toxteth, and featuring an event for each of the 13 tracks.
The festival comes with the blessing of Sir Paul McCartney, but he and the other remaining Beatle, Ringo Starr, are not expected to put in an appearance. Instead artists including the Australian cabaret star Meow Meow – who will tackle Lovely Rita and lead a dancing procession of brass bands and traffic wardens through the streets – will celebrate a track each through media including classical music, film, dance, literature and fireworks.
The US feminist artist Judy Chicago will create her biggest painting, a giant mural for Stanley Dock, and the Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller, the New York choreographer Mark Morris and many others not born when the album was released will also take part.

Try as I might, I am completely unable to imagine what Judy Chicago might do with Stanley Dock....
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
