Beatles on the turntable, a Beast of a Camaro, and an old jingle you still hum tonight.

Evening, friend, Jack Reynolds checking in. December 4 always makes me think of new records stacked by the radio, like when the Beatles hit big in ’64. I’ve also been smiling about that 1969 Camaro Z/28, my brother wanted one in that loud orange so bad. Wait till you hear the line from that old cereal ad again. Brings it all back, doesn’t it?

On December 4, 1964, the Beatles put out “Beatles for Sale,” and I remember hearing that bright guitar sound everywhere. It went to No. 1 in Britain and hung around the top 20 for 46 weeks, the best-selling UK album of 1964. Click to see how their hard touring shaped those songs.

The 1969 Camaro Z/28 was the poster on every garage wall. It cost about $2,700 new, and today nice ones sit around $72,000, with the best pushing past $100,000. That 302 V8 made 290 horsepower and loved to rev. My brother talked about one for years. Click for the options and value story that made it a legend.

Earl Erdner’s “Busy Corner” sat like a friendly beacon in South Jersey, with a big wagon out front and the smell of fresh gas in the air. Back then a gallon ran about 65 to 71 cents, and this little chain kept locals rolling. The buildings are still there, but the name is gone now. My dad loved stops like this. Click for more photos and the story of what’s left today.

“He likes it. Hey Mikey!” was the kind of line you heard at every breakfast table. That Life cereal spot first ran in 1972 and kept airing clear into 1986, and folks still knew it decades later, Clio Award and all. I still grin when I think of those brothers. Click to watch the full ad and see why America never forgot Mikey.

Michael J. Fox lit up the 80s as Marty McFly, and I still hear that skateboard roll. He earned about $250,000 for the first Back to the Future, then around $5 million for each sequel. By 2025 his foundation has poured over $2.5 billion into Parkinson’s research. Click to read how he keeps fighting with a smile.

Tonight’s “Your Memory” comes from Linda in Pittsburgh, thinking back to her first job in the summer of 1965. She says the Woolworth counter smelled like fresh coffee and grilled onions all day. After her shift, she and her girlfriends split a nickel Coke and laughed on the bus ride home. My wife remembers those counters too.

Tonight’s Quote comes from John Wayne, who said that “courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” I watched his movies with my dad, and that line always stuck. It is a good reminder for work, family, and faith when days feel heavy. You can learn more about him here. He was truly a man of grit.

See you tomorrow. Same time, same station.
