Ladies and Gentlemen… THE BEATLES
Sixty years ago, those who couldn’t see beyond the haircuts and “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” were so very, very wrong.
George’s Providential Clock
A tip o’ the Dog Rat toupee to Denro for pointing out this item. It explains what the object is on the back of the Beatles “Now and Then” single, and its surprising connection to the song.
Phone rings. It’s Paul, reminding me of this third song that was on the cassette tape with Real Love and Free As A Bird. He said, ‘The song, it’s called Now And Then.’ I’m standing there with the phone… looking at the clock that said, ‘Now And Then’, and I was sort of dumbfounded.
Twigs
Prue is my ultimate Sixties “English Posh Bird,” but the most famous British model of the era was Twiggy.
Twiggy made a guest appearance in my buddy Bismo’s all-time favorite movie, The Blues Brothers.
This Pratt is locked on Prue, but another guy named Pratt, named Guy, recently spoke with Twigs.
Denny Laine is in My Ears
We played this one at the radio station.
Christmas on Penny Lane
Paul didn’t write this to be a Christmas tune, but it works, compliments of the 101 Strings Orchestra. I have a copy of the record, purchased years ago at a thrift store for a buck, or maybe even 50-cents. “An Alshire Production, Manufactured by Budget Sound, Inc.”
Here’s some actual Christmas music from the budget sound of 101 Dalmations. Correction: Strings!
