Bikkuri Donkey and The Beatles

Went to Bikkuri Donkey restaurant with the family tonight. Very reasonable and the chopped beef is seasoned just right. Aside from the food, I was reminded how Bikkuri Donkey plays all Beatles, all the time. Just think back almost 50 years ago when parents in the West didn't like the long hair and loud music, and here in Japan rightists protested because the Beatles played the Budokan. Now Beatles music is the only choice for music that will offend no one, everyone knows and everyone likes - worldwide. And once again it is almost 50 years after the music was first released  pretty amazing. びっくりドンキー
