ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

This morning I received a signal from my home planet 431 light years after it had been transmitted;it turned out to be the Beatles song "Across the Universe".For those ignorants Bangkadians who might be reading this The Beatles were the most successful pop group of the 1960's ,which is a hell of a very long time ago.Anyway back in the year 2008 on the 4th February Nasa did a double celebration:the 40th anniversary of the recording of "Across the Universe"and the 50th anniversary of the American space organisation NASA's space programme.A lot of Beatles fans participated in the event by playing the song at home at the same time of the transmission.By the way a video of the film"Across the Universe"also arrived with the signal from NASA ;I've already watched the film twice; it's absolutely brilliant,like a series of music videos which is set against a story of star-crossed lovers in the 1960's.
