You meet the most interesting people with Beatle connections
Like I always say, there is usually not a day, that I donot mention The Beatles, in some form or another. Whether it be at work (damn, I talk about them alot) online, on the phone. or a story or two. The Fab four, are, a source of constant discussion. :)
I met two such persons this past week. One David Andrew from Teignmouth in Devon. David a tall. quiet man with steely blue eyes and brilliant smile. I had mentioned to David and his friend Danny, I was on my way to Ney York, this coming week to attend The David Lynch Charity gig, where Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr will be performing. David mentioned he met the Beatles-well sort of. :)
David & his mates crash Beatles Hotel
I cannot remember at this moment, what else david had said? I was far too excited to hear about the story. David's grandparents, lived just two doors down from the hotel, seen right.
What a brilliant story! I received an email from David today, giving me a link to this foto. He is in Vancouver, Canada. A few years later, David, told me he worked at Harrods in London.
David meets Ringo in Harrods
Pat Johnson foto's Yoko Ono
The very next day from meeting David, I formally met Pat Johnson. Pat Johnson, a cool hip, rocker dude with long curly locks of grey with a Rockin - Roll vibe. I thought he was a musician?^
Pat's wife, also said she was a Beatles fan too! woohooo, right on! Than Pat, said last year he had photographed Yoko Ono!` No freakin way, I thought?
I mentioned, I finally got Paul's autograph after all these years following him around the world. at the Shark tank of all places. Pat had his lap top, so, I showed him the site here. Poster right, just in case some cannot see it on my side bar...He couldn't believe out of all the millions of people in the world, that I got Paul's' siggy! I couldn't believe he photoed Yoko Ono and a gang load, of amazing artists! Damn! what the?
Pat, than showed me the foto's he took of Yoko, one of them right and another way cool, black and white of her. He asked me what groups I like? I said Zeppelin. Got a foto of them. I noticed Zappa too.This is a test post using Blackberry

This is a test post using Blackberry
I just signed up to blogger for mobile devices. I want to see how it actually works? Loll what will they think of next? :) this is brilliant. It took me a min. to figure how to actually set it up. Why doesn't blogger have an app. Feature, like twitter and facebook? Hopefully this post will go to my blog.
Than again what about tags?
Below on my computer
I did it! wow, I am amazed. I actually posted the above post via my new Blackberry! woohooo! It's almost two years now, since I have actually began, blogging. I have come so far, being that I am not technical. This really rawks! to me anyways. I love my new Blackberry. I have the bold. I couldn't get the Iphone down so I chose this. The wows of technology- are truly amazing.
I love blogging, especially about my beloved subject that you see here. Now, when I go to New York, I can blog from my fone. (don't have a laptop) I wonder what John Lennon, would think of these mini computers? more later.

Letter from the David Lynch Foundation~
~Welcome to the beta launch of DLF.TV. For months we’ve been tuning our site’s strings and sandpapering its corners. And because you tracked us down, we want you to be in the first expedition exploring the open beta version of DLF.TV.
Inside you’ll find artist profiles, our Foundation at work and David Lynch at play. Of course there’s more, but we don’t want to give too much away. It’s best detecting the textures of DLF.TV’s breezeways, crawlspaces and turrets on your own. So…as David says, “dive in.”
Our friends at BitGravity will be powering the live streaming video and since they are the best in the business, it will feel like you are right there with us.The official launch of our site is April 4th during our LIVE backstage
web cast of Paul McCartney and Friends at Radio City Music Hall. In addition to Sir Paul, this concert features Ringo Starr, Eddie Vedder, Donovan, Sheryl Crow
and surprises.hb: Man, I would have tripped if they said, "also meet Paul McCartney!!" :)
The reason David selected these artists to perform at this concert is not just because they are living legends. They are interested in what DLF.TV stands for: consciousness, creativity and bliss. This is why DLF.TV is choosing this event to launch the site.
The concert is not just a concert. It is not just a fundraiser. It is the overture to what DLF.TV is about.
You can be part of it. We’re giving away two premium tickets and a chance to meet David Lynch the night of the show. Enter now at DLF.TV and hope for the best. While on the site, leave comments under videos. Your bold feedback will sculpt DLF.TV.
And if you think the site is exciting now, wait until it becomes fully conscious on April 4th.
Thank you and have fun,
The DLF.TV Crew
See our trailer video at: http://www.vimeo.com/3729384

I'm getting nervous it's almost time to see Paul McCartney & Ringo!
Morning people! I hope you are fine and in, great spirits. It's been two years since I have seen Paul McCartney live. In just two short weeks, I will be, one of those lucky fans who did get a ticket to The Charity gig in New York. I am, tremendously excited! I'm excited to see Paul and Ringo perform together! A first for me, ever. I hope & pray I get that one day off in April so I may see Macca in Vegas too.
Seeing Paul McCartney live is a surreal spiritual experience
The first time I had ever seen Macca live, was in 2002. Reason being, Macca hadn't toured in years since he was with Wings, in the 90's, Berkley being one of his last gigs-in the bay area. There was no Internet-only local radio or your favorite record store that announced such gigs. I was so disappointed, I had no money, no car, but prayed one day, that I would actually see Paul McCartney perform live. Here we are 2009 and I have went to every gig- that I could possibly attend and AFFORD~ lol
Seein Macca live, for me, is such a surreal spiritual experience. The Beatles music touches my heart and my soul-that is actually difficult to form into words. Their music is healing. The Beatles sing about everyday people. I love that! I suppose one of those reasons is, you cannot believe you are actually seeing a former living Beatle, sing such songs, as you heard as a young kid. You say OMG- I LOVE that freakin song!!
I can't believe Macca is singing this one?!!. Such as, 'She's leaving home', 'Helter Skelter', 'She came in thru-the bathroom window'. Or, 'Too Many people', via The Wings era. Paul performing live brings you to tears. You feel the music.
The Beatles, have helped me thru the most unbearable times, such as being homeless, yep! Harleyblues, went thru that bullshit, a few times in fact, and other dark things I care not to comment about at this time. Thos four lads from Liverpool, Paul, John, George, Ringo and the man above, have always been there and have seen me thru- in the Sunny & Dark periods in life. I truly Love, The Beatles & I Love, Paul McCartney.. truly..: :)

"To Paul and Ringo, Thank you for the "Miles of Smiles" love you!"
A vid ded: to Macca, Ringo, & Geoff Baker
We can work it out-another fav from the Fab four- dedicated to Friends!
I am also hoping, I get to see Geoff in New York and give him a hug. It's been 5 years since I have seen him. :):) See kids, never give up on your dreams you never know what might happen?
perhaps... more later? Have a beautiful day~
hb~
Ps. YES, I have been messing around with my template all day!~ This one looks best after all- until I can find someone to re design my blog.
Also note: I did tear down the post about Amazon & AT&T it pissed me off to much. I did end up with the Blackberry bold after 2 days & 5 plus hours attempting to buy it-ahhhh

What is this rumour Geoff Baker is working for Macca again?
Please vote for this blog! Stumble or Digg it! TY~
What is this rumour Geoff Baker is working for Macca again?
Yesterday, I read on the Time online, Geoff Baker, is rumoured to be working with Paul McCartney again? Well, I didn't bother to post about it. why? it seemed more of a statement from the Times- talking about, Geoff, being sacked years ago. Oh, that's brill- freakin rub it in. I don't know if it was one of those "This day in history" type stories-follow me?
Paul & Geoff had reconciled, a few years ago, we all know this. Remember The McCartney rose bush- as a birthday prezzie? I dislike rumours- unless they are indeed true. Why put. Geoff, thru this kinda public rumour? Now Macca Blog has also posted this lil tid bit on their blog.
I emailed Geoff, yesterday asking him about the Times story? I haven't heard from him. Perhaps he is on holiday? or my email went to his spam box. lol He is a writer. He should have a laptop with him-ciggy in mouth. lol :)
I was sure, Geoff, would write back stating "HarleyB that is crap it's all rumour" or something~
The Times snippet that caught me.. was this:
Lmao off! 'Paul, owes me nothing except maybe a kick in the balls'~
Six years on, they have been reconciled, we gather. Baker is
about to help Sir Paul McCartney to chronicle his current lucrative US tour.
“Paul owes me nothing, except maybe a kick in the balls,” a forgiving Geoff
tells us
Macca isn't touring that's is news to me
Paul isn't on tour. He is doing a few gigs here & there. Up coming gigs, The David Lynch Charity gig & The Hard rock cafe gig in Vegas-both in April. oops! forgot Coachella! :)

Hopefully Geoff, will clear up this confusion before it is spread & rumoured all over the world.
Geoff, where are you? This is like trying to find Waldo!!-I haven't heard from Geoff in a few weeks.
Good natured Geoff Baker-:)
Geoff has always treated the Beatles/ and McCartney fans with dignity and respect. How can you not Love Him!

Geoff Baker, IS a decent person, a brilliant writer. ( But don't tell the sorority- they will disagree) I love his wicked sense of British humour. He tells it like it is- straight from the heart. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons, I like & respect, him so.

Wow, I gotta beg for the time off to see Paul in Vegas!
Just the thought of this post makes me shiver. I even hate to think or write about it.
Like most big businesses you have to to fill out a vacation request form a year ahead of time. How in the world do we actually know what we are going to be doing a year from now? In my case I sprinkle time thru-out the year. (I have nothing planned after April lol) We received our vacation request bids in January the 1st, of the New Year-thru April the following year.
I put in my request February 19th. I thought it was plenty of time, to request time off~Right?
In our case where I work, only 5 people at a time are allowed off for the entire Department. This equals to 100's of people. Since, I did not request April 20 Th off last year, 5 other people did-wouldn't you know it? just freakin GREAT! Now, I am, the second person on the waiting list Dangit. So when the schedule for April comes around I must scramble around asking any of those 5 people if we can make a vacation day switch!
I am willing to give them any day off (that I do have coming this year.) I have 5 weeks vacation coming for 2009. I have seniority. What I do not have, is April 20Th off-The day I want to fly back from Vegas to the Bay Area. Isn't that freakin brilliant! HA! I can't miss Paul McCartney again- like I have in the past!
I have my ticket in hand. Do not stand in the way of die-hard fans wanting to see Macca live in concert. This is one of the ultimate joys in life-at least for me, it is. I'm going to plead my case, offer one of my days off and perhaps lunch to one of these people. I haven't made flight or hotel arrangements yet, I still have a bit of time. I am praying very hard-which I do on a daily basis.
I have been brain storming really hard! :) Wouldn't you know it?- I hate when this happens!!~
Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever gotten really creative wanting time off ? lol
All suggestions welcome! (No, I can't call in sick, HA!) I am not the type to beg but for Paul McCartney, I will!
When Paul McCartney met Jesus-lmao!
Love that lil story above..with German sub-titles. :) Oh correction! I just received a message from Wunjo-that the sub-titles are indeed in Dutch! lmfao!! I should have known better between Dutch & German!~ Ik ben uw SILLY GOOSE :):) hallo aan alle fans! :)
My mind is definately wondering- how I am gonna make it to the Vegas gig? Missing Coachella..definately- no time off..Too bad, Amy Winehouse, had to cancel denied a work Visa-oh Bullchips!
Which was the most difficult ticket to get?
Both!
I am making it to the Charity Gig in New York. I can't wait to see Paul McCartney & Ringo! As well as a few other artists. Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Moby & Ben Harper. This gig will surely rock! I won't be in the first few rows. I donot have a $100,000 bucks! ha!
Now Macca in Vegas? I must be there. After all this gig sold out in a record 7 seconds! My brain is on super duper warp speed :) hum.. I did ask, If I could come in late that day as long as I make it to work, right? I'll be running on adrenaline! wondering, thinking, pondering?.......hehehehe.

I've been waiting on a friend all day!~

Special piccie dedicated to my, Dear Friend, located from, the Lland of Cheese, Chocolates, Watches, & Knives~ lmao! wir lieben Paul McCartney, hallo Liz :p was Sie so lang dauerte? lol :)

The David Lynch Foundation Apologises to Fans!
If you hadn't known by now PaulMcCartney & Ringo Starr are two of the headliners for the David Lynch Foundation raising money for kids -Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace ~
Here is a letter below, from the David Lynch Foundation, addressing fans, who did not get tickets, mishaps, pass codes, and the like-A very gracious letter on what really went down, and what really happened Sunday and Monday.
An apology from the foundation below: :)
David Lynch Foundation benefit concert From: Chris Busch
(chris@davidlynchfoundation.org)
sent: Tue 3/10/09 2:22 AM
To: Chris Busch (chris@davidlynchfoundation.org)
To those of you who contacted the David Lynch Foundation following the ticket sale:
We have received quite a few emails from disappointed fans.
We wanted to give you the courtesy of a follow-up note about the pre-sale Sunday and public sale Monday, and to apologize for any frustration and disappointment we have caused you.
Most of the emails dealt with:
Flawed pre-sale on Sunday
No code for the pre-sale received
No tickets available from the start of the public sale on Monday
With ticket prices starting at $79.50 and $99.50 we really tried our best to make the ticket opportunities affordable and accessible to fans.
The foundation held 75% of the seats priced between $79.50 and $325.50 for the pre-sale Sunday. The pre-sale was offered to people who registered on our public website over the last few months.
25% of these seats, or about 1,200, were held for the public sale Monday morning. There were some $504.50 seats available for both pre-sale and public sale but the majority were held by our event planner for premium tickets and packages.
Pre-Sale
Regarding the pre-sale there are a couple of points to mention. Although it was not intentional, we bear responsibility for the fact that the pre-sale wasn't held on a level playing field. We gave first notice of the pre-sale promotion code to about 3,000 people beginning right at 11:00am on Sunday. The notice went out at the same time to everyone but we overlooked that emails don't arrive to everyone at the same time, so not everyone had an equal opportunity to purchase.
Tickets were still available as of 11:10 or 11:15, but for those who received the email later than that, they were frustrated and disappointed, and we apologize. A number of people were told by Ticketmaster that the pre-sale Sunday morning started at 9am Eastern. This is true. We offered a limited, private 2-hour pre-sale window to a select list of friends of the foundation - people known to us.
The great majority of pre-sale tickets were still available at 11am Eastern.
A few dozen people told us they never received their code at all. We did have emails bounce back to us as undeliverable. (hb: I know a few people who didn't get their codes-mine came to late)
Many said they reached Ticketmaster for the Monday morning public sale at exactly 11:00 am, or a few minutes after, only to be told the concert was sold out. True
They could not believe this was possible. Ticketmaster suggested the demand was so great that Internet ordering could easily claim 1,200 tickets in a matter of moments. We did hear from individuals who beat the scalpers and got a ticket on the Monday morning sale. But many didn't.
We were alarmed seeing that tickets were listed on the scalping sites days before they went on sale. To our knowledge these tickets were only being held by Ticketmaster for the pre-sale and public sale.
It is disappointing to us that we can not accommodate all the fans who want to attend. And very disappointing for us to see how many tickets are being sold on the ticket reselling sites from people who only care about making a buck.
It's not kind to the foundation and it's not kind to fans. hb: heard that Chris!
If we do have any tickets in the $79.50 to $329.50 range come into our possession we will inform you, and you can be assured they will be sold at face value. David Lynch is such an authentic and good-hearted man. Please don't let this reflect on him or his foundation's work.
Thank you for your understanding and I apologize again for your disappointment. Please feel free to email me back if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Chris Busch
Program Director
David Lynch Foundation
Hb: What a thoughtful heartfelt letter!
Well now we know what officially happened-what a shame. Scalpers, taking advantage of a charity...and fans, it is... pitifull! Yes, I agree with most of the above, as I too, emailed Debbie, at the Foundation. I'm lost for words.. This always happens to fans! It's TM handling of tickets!
There needs to be some type of law enacted, on ticket purchases, on ticket re-selling prices, on these Ticket selling sites- forever gouging people. Don't blame the artist's for ticket prices. People say "well it's Paul McCartney what do you expect?" for example. fans have went round and round for years on this issue. I don't accept the weak 'supply & demand' tactic either.
Will this ever stop? High priced tickets, for any event.... are out of control!~

Charity gig Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr David Lynch Foundation ticket Success! Moby thinks Macca & Ringo will play together!
March 9th 10am
note:It's 1:19 pm
Moby's blog
I just read on Moby's blog, He thinks Paul & Ringo WILL be playing together! Kinda like a Beatles reunion he said..wow!
Oh man wouldn't you know it I am home from work with a terrible cold a splitting headache. After yesterdays major disappointment..I thought I would try TM for the Charity tix once again.. Since I was home (I was going to try before work)_ on the phone- what a fluke....Well I got thru on the phone & online.. Can you believe it?!?!! Yes, I did.. two tickets on the floor double letters. Much to my amazement and surprise! I was hoping the tix purchases would go thru. I now have 3 tix. I want to sell my other floor Ticket to a huge fan! but who? ..
On hold with TM
I got one confirmation ..online and than via the phone.. I decided to call Ticketmaster-good thing I did because, the automated service didn't recognize my addy...One guy from TM was kinda rude and told me my address was not valid..he put me on hold for 25 mins. I got a real nice Supervisor from TM, named Elaine..thanx Elaine..We went thru my order with success! I told her about the TM, horror I had years earlier trying to buy tickets for Paul McCartney in Miami-Ticketmaster had cancelled my 2 ticket order.. Yep, I was pissed but went on to see Paul at 3 other venues..
I have never see Ringo Live!!- The only time I have seen Ringo alive-was in LA Amoeba secret gig on Sunset, Hollywood, Ringo one aisle over:) I wanted to shake his hand or give him a hug! lol
Beatle/ McCartney Fans
Yesterday I read. there was a guy, who is visiting New York from Holland this coming April he was so devastated he could not get thru on the phone-he says lack of English trying to buy a ticket yesterday on the pre-sale..
I sent him a message that I would try my hardest to get him a ticket if I was successful today.. He is in school and will he be surprised as hell that I do have a ticket for him~ It's such a great feeling to surprise fans.. as this has happened for me in the past- a surprise ticket to see Paul in Spain..!! I'll never forget that -one of the best gigs ever up front of Macca- in the first row..
more later people .. congrats to those die hard fans who got tickets this is going to be a wicked event! I feel very fortunate to get tickets today...finding a flight is another thing..lol
Just heard from the fan in the Netherlands!...
his name is Luuk-wow is he excited.. me too!! he hasn't seen this blog yet..or the post, I sent him the link..hehehehehe~ he was so nervous at school today wondering if I was able to get tickets! :) Dang, Holland, that is a long way from the United States..
Luuk, has never seen Paul live! now he will see the other artists too... including Ringooo!
woohooo! this rawks so much!! Here is the message from Luuk, from the Nethrlands, he sent to me:
Woooohooooo!!! Harleyblues, there is no way to get my enthusiasm through PM, but I try to express it in smileys I've read your blog! Nice blog! And you were right, it was a really big surprise, and I did jump for joy :)
I still can't believe I'm finally going to see Paul live! I'm gonna see Paul McCartney....in New York....with Ringo!!! I know how hard it was for you to get tickets,appreciated!"
Well I'm am soo Happy I could help a fellow fan out-this almost made me cry-ahhh this made my day~ I have been home with amiserable cold but happened to make someones day something came out good from it, it lifts the spirits-what a fluke.

Charity gig Pre-sale headlining Macca was a Shame..
note: semi long post including 3 vids-see below..
Morning people, were you able to get tickets to this HOT Charity gig in April, from:
The David Lynch Foundation, this morning? many people didn't. Where were all the tickets?
apparently the East Coast got their emails ahead of time-than-the West Coast. All High Level tickets were gone when I phoned in at 8:15 am before, I even got my code. Tickets went on sale at 9am on the east coast. While a few McCartney/Beatle fans were able to secure at least A ticket at the lower end some fans in Europe, got zilch. All tickets are Sold out!
Isn't their a better way for a pre-sale? Tix, are now being offered on Ebay for a mint, Bullchips!
TM, claimed tickets were sold...weeks ago? I don't get that one.. at all..
Some fans, didn't receive their pre-sale pre-codes until after the all tickets had been sold.
I know this is a charity benefit, but c'mon. This is suppose to be a pre-sale..oh my. There seemed to be alot of confusion purchasing tickets & presale codes today.
What is Howard Sterns number lemme call him..lmao like he would take my call... Wonder if Donald Trump will be in attendance? Like the old saying" It's not what you know its who you know" count on that!
more later, I need coffee....
Called Ticketmaster at least I got some friendly folks..
Sun March 7th 1:30pm
Hey people, I have just called TM for the 4th & 5th time today..I received more info regarding tickets. Tomorrow there WILL be a sale of remaining tickets via TM. There is hope t0 attend this gig, don't give up! Geez, I hope FANS get tickets and not those freakin scalpers trying to make a profit! "Instant Karma is gonna get you!"
International fans can also access the Ticketmaster site or by phone at 11am est. time.. I just like to give a shout out to Nelda & Rueben at Ticketmaster who were, very friendly & helpful on my recent calls.. Thanx guys! I have spent hours on the phone, since 8:15am trying to get a ticket-lol
This pre-sale did not offer great seats for fans calling in today- hopefully there will be a better chance tomorrow for people really wanting to attend this historical charity benefitt.
Can you believe it, Paul & Ringo at the same gig? I wonder if they WILL perform together?
How bout some Donavan?.. This is one of my favorites -something different today..
Donavan-Hurdy Gurdy enjoy the vid-
Now some Instant Karma-John Lennon...
seeing John & Yoko lived in New York.. and this is a New York, Charity Gig.. raising money for kids I thought I'd post me some John Lennon. When I think of New York- I think of John & Yoko.:)
You go John!! We all shine on....!!!!

David Lynch Foundation had the best of Intentions
Sun March 7th 4pm
you know, as I was about to post this all my windows closed. Geez.. We have to believe the David Lynch Foundation, in good faith, had the best of intentions on the Pre-sale passcode deal. Most likely they had no way of knowing all the tickets would sell out or that people had not received their pre-sale passwords until, it was to late, for some of us. I say let's blame the net! Yeah! who knows what happened? how many emails were sent out, or how many servers went down or jammed? Too Many-people calling in.
Let's just blame it all on Ticketmaster! :)
kidding-:)
Debbie, one of the event coordinators for the David Lynch Foundation has been very cool, friendly & lovely- answering questions, answering emails. Most likely, they have been hit by 100's if not 1000's of emails asking about this gig?. shouldn't we give them a break & not blame them?
'-it's the Internet people, take a deep breathe and try again tomorrow. I know, I too, was a bit frantic this morning attempting to call in with no code, with some disappointment-however, tomorrow is another day, this is all going for a great cause~
Still, I'd like to be the person(s) buying that $100,000 package! woohooo!!!:):)
I'm out I've been on this all day- calling New York-emails, postings, pms-the struggles of being a Beatles/McCartney/Lennon/Harrison/Starr * FAN!
lmao!
OK, one more video I couldn't resist! Too many People, wanting Charity gig tix, Too many People, calling in jammed in phones lines, Too may people disappointed, Too Many people, pissed..lol Too Many People wanting pre-sale codes!~Too May People, confused :)
Paul McCartney & "My Band" Too May People- Came in thru the Bathrorom Window..
Now, I am taillights~

Better have some BANK if you want to see Paul McCartney & Ringo-David Lynch Foundation..
March 3rd late
So I signed up a month plus- ago curious, about the David Lynch Charity Gig In New York-this coming April, Radio City Music Hall..
.
Headlining: Paul McCartney, Ringo, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye Lavette, Jim James, and surprise guests. Sounds like a wicked line up right?
I wouldLove to see this!.. I wondered about the cost of TIX? Well, I got my email today..
Ticket prices range from General Admission Tickets for the concert, priced at $79.50, $99.50, $129.50, $229.50, $329.50 and $504.50, will go on sale Monday, March 9 at 11:00 am EST at TicketMaster. expensive right?-.
This is a paltry sum compared to premium packages being offered. Which include, meet and or foto op with Paul McCartney himself. Oh man! What the hell am I thinking- like I could ever afford this. I wish I could! I almost fell outta my chair when I read what the package deals were going for!..
Hey, don't forget to figure in flight & hotel..lol
Ready-sitting in your seat?

"Damyum!!"
Is that all? Well, that leaves me and half of America out~ There goes my chances to meet Paul McCartney -again. Who the hell can pay for such packages- besides the filfthy rich?
Donald Trump, Yoko, Mariah Carey,Diddy, Howard Stern, Barbara Walters, Celebrities, old money?
Those crooks on Wall Street -well they're not all crooks. How bout them CEO's bailed out by the Government?! lmao! AIG Exec's yeah ..them!!..they just got a freakin 30 billion bailout..yesterday..they could afford it!..
I tell you, if you have money, you can enjoy the finer things in life.. such as, meeting living Legend Sir Paul McCartney, backstage if you had a $100,000 grand~to throw down for a charity benefit!
Wish that was me-more tomorrow it's late..
I been thinking about this Gig all day
March 4th
You know, this is a brilliant opportunity to give to a charity benefit-featuring a stellar lineup of musical geniuses..Someone posted in the comments section here, that lunch with Warren Buffet would go for a cool $2 mill. Yes, 2 million-Um?..NO! that is just, mad crazy, there..I'd help the economy by purchasing a home & a new ride if, I had them kind of dollars..hehehe,...
I can't get over the package prices (in this economy?) hehehehe.. If I had that type of money, I would spend it to meet, Paul & Ringo, call 13 die-hard Beatles fans & invite them for a once in a lifetime trip, to New York, all cool perks included. I'm cool like that..hahaha... Oh. it's nice to dream! These packages were made for the high-rollers, not us average working people..
I bet this would be a weekend to remember-surreal.. Lucky bastiff's, with this kinda loot. I mean this, Respectfully!
note: Nelly & Tony in Texas, if you see this blog post email me~
Wow, I gotta go to this gig some way some how!!!

March 2nd...
Hey people, just a lil side note. Man, my mind has been on the 4 guys lost at sea since last night, (when I heard about it.) I just wanna show them some Respect & Love & Prayers- that I am praying for them..hard!
what am I talkin about? The four men that took off on a fishing expedition off the coast of Florida Saturday. Two are current NFL players & their buddies...
It seems like such a rare occasion when people are missing at sea. We hear about tragedy daily this one is getting to my spirit, real deep.What really bothers me most, is, not only are these local boys or had been local but these are athletes. We always look up to our athlete's as hero's! We want them to succeed We look to them as invincible-I know, I do. This isn't something you would expect happening to Pro Football players? It seems surreal...
I envision Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith & their buddies-fighting the waves, swimming & swimming to safety. I hope for this, I pray for this, it's really got my heart.Man I hope for their safety and I hope they are all still alive and well, beating off those waves .. I know The Raider nation is praying for Marquias safe return..please pray for these guys...
at home now and I noticed I didn't even bother to check my errors before I posted this. I truly hope and pray they are found..
