Drugs Hit Differently in the 60s

Last night, our friends hosted a Help-themed party. The host celebrated two-years helping at The Trevor project, a crisis line for LGBTQ+ youth. Her volunteer work is difficult and truly admirable.

There was also a Help-themed trivia quiz: Which movie was it: Help! Or The Help.

Finally, we watched the 1965 Beatles movie, Help! (86% at the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer)

WTF! It is a surreal wacky movie with odd transitions and some interesting” British humor. I don’t know how well received the movie was in the 60s. The movie made me appreciate the Beatles a bit more, beyond this clean band, playing easy and poppy songs. It reminded me also a bit of strangeness of The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus concert film (1986).
