Today would have been John Lennon's 70th
.
You know, I have mixed feelings about this day October 9th.. A great musical genius was born today; could he ever really envision the millions of lives he has touched through his music- did he ever really know how many lives he affected for the good? did he know of his greatness~
.
I wonder what John Lennon would look like today.. would he have that Jesus vibe going on - long white silvery hairy and a scruffy beard? or would he be clean cut & mellow? Do I really think Lennon would really give a fuck, if it was his 70th and all these celebrations? me thinks, no. For some reason I could hear him say.. I'm just a person people, who made it really big.. I'm no different than you. Why are we still talking about war, why are we still in this war after 10 years? there is peace if you want it.. I guess you don't want it?!

It really struck me, how, Julian Lennon, recently posted, on his Facebook page; He 'thought it rather strange to celebrate someones birthday, when they are no longer here with us'.. I'd have to agree in some ways.. I'd like to think we could celebrate his memory, not a birthday celebration...
.
I do think it rather touching, Google, dedicated a Google doodle in John Lennon's honor .. very touching- it kinda moved me to tears.. Thank you Google from a huge Beatles fan!
John Lennon's message was about Peace & love in the world- haven't we learned this yet? obviously not.. If we could take the time to be kind to one another and help our fellow man this world would be a better place.. not just for one day - everyday..Thoughts through rose colored glasses.. sermon over..

Yoko Ono, is asking for one million peace tweets via Twitter today.. :) nice~

as millions celebrate thru-out the world this weekend.. Me, I'll be listening to Lennon and Beatles music .. trying not to be 'too sad' cos he was taken from his family, Julian, Sean and his fans ..far to early and to be honest that - that, really pisses me off!

I think of Julian Lennon on this day and my heart and thoughts are with him as he unveils a John Lennon statue in Liverpool.. I wish Julian tremendous happiness~ and a lovely day for him and his mum... to be full of Love & laughter~ miles of smiles! :)

I remember a great man named John Lennon on what would have been his 70th birthday..today Let me, not forget his message, of LOVE... his creative genius, his humor, his witt. The music! what a 'Great Beatle' he was! what a legend!.....It's hard not to be sad.. and have mixed feelings ..I had a few tears yesterday.. I'll try, really hard~not to get misty.. Good vibes & positive thoughts~to you all, as we remember John Lennon on what would have been his 70th birthday~~ x

Have a beautiful day~

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

It was a fated day in 1967, the Beatles, were in Teignmouth to film the Magical Mystery tour. When David & his mates snuck into the hotel, than gained access to the floor where the Beatles were... staying-ha!

The Beatles, than ran into the kids and said hello, waving to them.

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.

This photo is of the next morning when the Beatles were leaving....David, was in school and it was sometime around this time David's grandfather walked along from their house

(in photo) were the lads said "Good Morning Sir" as they were getting into their car.

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

While working at Harrods, who walks in? Ringo Starr. David said Ringo was rather friendly and an all around nice person. That day David, sold Ringo, A fruit bowl. (no, not a bowl of fruit lol) he said it was a rather nice fruit bowl. Was it crystal David? :)

^

I also asked him, if he had mentioned to Ringo, that day in 1967 in Teignmouth? he said no, well, I had to ask :) What a friendly, English gentleman David was. I was happy to hear his Beatle's stories and glad to have met him. David, currently lives in Vancouver, Canada.

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?
^

I also mentioned to Pat & his lovely wife, the Gig, in New York-with Macca, Ringo & Donovan.

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.

^

Today, I tried to find Pat's webby, here it is. So I went sleuthing to see some of Pat's Piccies-here were some I veiwed over his massive collection:

Frank Zappa, Mick Fleetwood, Elvis Costello, Elton John, Stones, David Bowie, Rick James, Ray Manzerick...On & On and on ...

*

You can guess what Mr. Pat does for a living :)

Geeez, some fantastic fotos, Pat has! See Pat's webby @ Pat Johnson Studios I am still at his webby, looking at all the foto's.

I should send him, this post. foto courtesy Pat Johnson Studios

^

Pat, never had the oppurtunity to fotograph the Beatles themselves. ahhh.~I believe, he also said he met George Harrison, too? I wonder who Pat will photograph- next? Pat, is one cool cat. You never know who you will meet in your daily journey? Well, I am taillights, for now.

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~

Pang coming out with Lennon book

Hey everyone,

I have seemed to have gotten into a heated debate with someone off Macca's site in reguards to May Pang. May P is releasing her upcoming John Lennon book named "Instant Karma" see here

John Lennon & May Pang

Question why now? for those that do not know Ms. Pang was John Lennon's mistress for a spell after the breakup of the Beatles orchestrated by Yoko Ono herself, the trio caught up in a love triangle.

Now 25 plus years later May P. decides to come out with, a book? Oh, I could see if Cynthia Lennon & Yoko wrote books (Cynthia has) they were his wives, but not a mistress, why now? so she may make FAT dollars off Beatles fans? I suppose what bothers me the most is, John Lennon has long since past and now he is being exploited by someone who was intimate with him publishing their private photos & making a buck off their relationship~

thoughts anyone?
