could be, forgot about him. who's image got reversed? Oh, mine. Sorry. Guilty. Well, I mean, it's a general comparison since there is no point in making it definitive, you know. I mean, it's just a kind of loose thing where it helps me to imagine that JPM might well be alive; could be, right? It's just as possible as anything else. So, let me make clear that I wasn't trying to make it a set-in stone, "this is the one" kind of thing, because that doesn't exist, but that, just personally for me, it allows me to believe that possibly, in a situation of good fortune, JPM survived whatever the trauma/dilemma/situation of 1966 was, and make some changes and just get on with his life, privately. I have decided to entertain that notion as the likeliest true one, whether it is or not, because it's more pleasant than going with the decapitation/explosion/murdered/car wreck/train wreck/ fiendish kidnappings that we've been tossing about for 4 years. If other people want to cling to the doom and death outcomes, well, that's fine and I respect their opinion. But since I realize I will never actually know, I can believe what I want and go on being a contributor here, and keep it cheery. Call me a Paul-yanna if you must. Tell me I am the ostrich, and my head is in the proverbial sand. I like happy endings, and I believed in a dismal one for three years. Now that I am visiting for a while, I need to go the opposite direction. You, know, just for me. Y'all are fine; all interpretations are fine and welcome; I just need the silver lining. You know. Just for now. Thanks.

@ 1:17 ..he does say he has no idea if there are any "Aeolian Cadences" and "mae-gasmic climaxes" , which is rather funny. LULU? Yes, that gave me a giggle. But was it "miasmic"? Hard to tell....that would be a foul stench at the high point of the music, I guess. Well, I've written a few of those......Good training I suppose.......everybody should write at least one good miasmic climax in their lifetime.

Sorry the Veoh link didn't work, I have had issues with Youtube in the past. Here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOmPs-8NeFMNear the end where there is a clip of George on the Smothers Brothers, there is maybe a little inside banter going on.. Dick talks about Hey Jude, the U.S. premier was on their show. George acts out an "introduction" between Tommy and Dick, and they shake hands.. Dick to Tommy: You look different in person. George: It's all the makeup..too much makeup. Tommy: You have something important... George: Something very important to say on American television.. Tommy goes on to say it's not possible to say anything on American television, etc. I think they were dancing around something.. George intruduces Dick (as HIS brother) to Tommy. They (Tom and Dick) shake hands as if meeting for the first time. That was the point of the deal.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but at the very least the comment about "not being able to say too much" on American TV was a bit political, as The Smothers Brothers lost their gig for being too controversial.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOmPs-8NeFMalso a little interesting is the part when Taylor (in the big white chair - what is that black thing on the right?) is Talking about the cripples in the wheel chairs, how they can't really move, and he makes a typing like gesture but that couldn't be, could it? ;D

George's big message for American television was to "now... cue the clap!"
Obviously a reference to him soon being replaced by the clap(ton).
Just joking.... lol
Oh and the "Aeolian Cadences" thing, I think, comes from some classically trained person analyzing some Beatles tracks back in the height of Beatlemania, and supposedly Lennon was asked about the "Aeolian Cadences" in the song "Not a Second Time."
Supposedly Lennon said he'd never heard of such thing and that they sounded like exotic birds.

Is someone trying to say LULU is the "man" in the limo?
I'm confused...no, not at all, though LULU appears to have a little Adam's apple, or else is a kin of Ann coulter..... but the first frame of this clip begins with her, in this odd expression with a voice over naming her "Lulu"......the next frame is of John in a very similar pose........ where is this vid from and by whom?

According to Wiki, Kelin knew Paul earlier than 1968, "Andrew Loog Oldhamwas losing his battle with drugs in 1965. Allen Klein then took over from him, as business manager of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger had studied at the London School of Economics and was initially impressed enough with Klein's business skills to recommend him to Paul McCartney. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_KleinAlso, I read somewhere (Goldman? Peter Brown?) how much Allen Klein had coveted having the Beatles as a client. He may not have been their manager but he was "in the picture" at least informally.

also: •The money that Klein made for the Beatles came largely from the selling of their shares of NEMS (McCabe).•Ringo: He tried to come in when Brian was there, just as a business manager, and not run our lives...Brian would have nothing to do with him". www.beatlemoney.com/beatles6870klein.htm
