... taking with one hand, giving with another (on McCartney at Amoeba):
It was positively MINDBLOWING!
If you weren't at least ten or eleven back in '64 you've got no idea,
you've got no concept of BEATLEMANIA!
And that's what was in evidence this evening at possibly the world's
most famous record store. I mean I'm standing with Felice and Peter
Paterno and you can hear WHISPERS! In the row behind us, it's RINGO!
Yup, Ringofuckingstarr. With his cropped hair and sunglasses. Barbara
Bach at his side. Smiling like he's in the sequel of "A Hard Day's
Night".
And next to Ringo it's Olivia Harrison. And next to her Barbara
Orbison. And then Jeff Lynne. And, right behind them, leaning against
the bin, was Joe Walsh. You see they remembered. When we all had short
hair and loved to play baseball and suddenly "I Want To Hold Your Hand"
came over the radio and our lives changed...FOREVER!>
Wow. So, Bob, people stopped loving to play baseball once the Beatles
hit it big? They never taught us that in school when I was a kid!
I guess that explains why they turned Shea Stadium into a concert venue,
right?
