Re: Beep Beep: I loved that song, and I remember most of the words

In those days a Caddy cost about 6 thousand dollars, which was much more than the popular cars. If you had one, you had "arrived"!

RE: Book of Love- At the beginning, there is a picture of an Edsel. It was made by Ford, and it lasted only two years. The problem was not with the car, but with the advertising (I rode in one) Ford never advertised it to any particular age group, so people bought very few.

GM encouraged the concept of signalling your economic status with the model of car you purchased: Chevrolet > Pontiac > Oldsmobile > Buick > Cadillac

The Edsel was bucking the trend of monstrous car fins. I remember a headline about it, maybe in Life:"New Finless 'Edsel' Gets into the Swim!"

Rolf Harris was convicted of child sex offences and imprisoned.

He lived the remainder of his years in disgrace.

He was quite a prominent figure over here.

He was a popular TV presenter, and even painted the Queen, so when he was found out it was headline news.

It probably wasn't as well reported in America.
