As the year draws to a close, let us remember the lesser known voices of 2008; those who contributed to American culture.   Maudie Hopkins, 93, was America’s last Civil War widow.  Harry Richard Landis, 108, American’s second to last World War 1 vet. Jacob DeShazer, 95, participated in the Doolittle Raid.  RAF pilot Bertram James, 92, survived “The Great Escape” which was planned by Eric Dowling, 92.   Col. Donald Blakeslee, 89, flew more missions against the Luftwaffe than any other American fighter pilot.  Joseph M. Juran, 103, was a quality control innovator in post-war Japan.

When you talk about classic rock, surely you will be associated with the Beatles. The Beatles is one of the best and biggest pop rock bands that the world produced. John Lennon, James Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard Starkey (also known as Ringo Starr) were born during the 1940s in Liverpool, England. During the post war period, Liverpool was a dirty depressed town and money was rarely to meet. Two decades later, these four men would shock the world with their musical breakthrough. Their music contribution is beyond question. Beatlemania, the fanatic fan of beatles, are spread in entire world, even until today.
