The 40th anniversary of Sesame Street is being celebrated in various ways, including Google’s use of custom logos this week.
First Lady Michelle Obama paid a recent visit to Sesame Street. She was five years old when the show premiered, so she belonged to the program’s first generation target audience.
But what does Big Bird really think about Barack Obama being President?

By now, the Beatles Weekend in Ouistreham, Normany, with Prue Bury as a guest of honor, must be winding down. I hope somebody has been taking pictures. I would love to get hold of some.
I found thumbnails of other photos with Prue and Pattie from “A Hard Day’s Night,” seen nowhere else, that apparently are sealed in the Disney Vault.
I found this “Hard Day’s Night” dress on the Beatles Web site, which looks as though it were made for Prue:

When I pointed it out to her, Prue replied…
“That is a great dress!! Can’t think why I haven’t got one!!”
I’m in the middle of helping Prue with a Christmas project she has in the works, by trying to secure performance rights for songs that aren’t in the Public Domain. So far I’ve found only limited success, but I’m hoping for better results this week. I would like to thank Mr. Lawrence S. Kartiganer for his help. He is a Hollywood attorney in the great and grand tradition, and a true gentleman. If there were more like him the world would be a better place.
