In the year 3000, music historians are still talking about the four lads from Linverton—John Lennon, Paul MacKenzie, Greg Hutchinson, and Scottie Pippen.

…but very much in keeping with the modern relativistic idea that we have few hard facts about the thoughts and activities of the ancients, let alone the movers and shakers of the medieval world.
Are we this ignorant of the lives of people who lived in a thousand years ago; for example, Otto I, first king of the Saxon dynasty, crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope John XII in 962, just over a thousand years before the fab four appeared at Ed Sullivan’s first “Woodstock” festival? I hope not! :-)
