I realize that most of you don’t care, but Monday marks the beginning of Wimbledon 2008. When I think of Wimbledon, I think of all those times as a kid sitting in front of the TV watching John McEnroe vs. Bjorn Borg rooting against the hippie Swede.

Hey gang, scoot on over to the Brooks Museum for a cheap date to see a collection of concert posters from the height of the hippie era, now through August 24, 2008:
