Okay, I totally stole the title from a National Lampoon article from when I was but a kid. But, anyway, I'm going through my Beatles mp3's with an eye to getting rid of the crap and keeping the gems. I'm an album man, and Abbey Road will survive intact, as will Sgt Pepper, but the rest has to earn its keep. I think Yellow Sub will be okay. The rest better step up or it's going to be deleted. I'm not one to bow to legend, bluesduke be damned. Chime in, you bitches.

A bunch of us followed the Beatles all from the airport to Candlestick Park in bumper to bumper traffic for their last US concert. They were riding in a modified Brinks truck which at the time we thought was odd as you could see men sitting in the back. That same truck drove onto the infield at Candlestick Park and out jumped the Beatles. I doubt I heard even one note during the entire concert.
Cool. I just remember my older brother getting some 45's in the mail and there was a big hubub, which I didn't understand. It was 45's of Love Love Me Do type stuff.
An old couple lived across the street.... Lawrence Welk types, but they would play Beatle's music all day long. One day while riding my bike on that side I asked them why because they played it loud! The old lady said she was George Harrison's aunt. I never was able to verify it although she reportedly moved back to England after her husband died. The sound stage manager for the Jefferson Airplane, old Clyde, did live directly across the street. He ended up divorcing his wife, moving to a hippy commune in Lake County and getting married on horseback hippy style to a woman half his age. The picture of the happy couple made the front page of the SF Chronicle. He died five years later.
