Yeah when I heard where in NZ this earthquake was located, PB did cross my mind.
Let's hope he's OK.

Jeez, don't they have any security in that place? ;D
I love this, I start laughing right from the opening note... Still hasn't gotten old.

Thanks for the info Jan, I have a bootleg of 1HC, but the quality isn't so great. Last collection of videos had some wink and nod stuff, so this may as well.. Especially the video for Band On The Run as it so happens.

I have a feeling anything our fertile imaginations would come up with would never reach him.. Oh but whatever, ask him anyway. ;D

Thanks for the update Eyesbleed.
I wish my state (NH) wasn't so damn prissy and uptight, 'cause if they DID get a bug up their ass about legalizing MJ, then they would fight federal butting in, 'cause we got an undercurrent of state's rights or else here.. We did tell them to stick it with "Real ID", which is something.. Still waiting for someone to be told they are not welcome in a federal building because NH licenses aren't valid there.
I'm with Jarv, why do we need to support someone who is a productive member of society? Keeping him penned up is expensive no doubt, when you factor in all the labor costs, plus the costs of maintaining a prison. Why do we continue to elect these idiots who pass these laws with this end result? When will we realize they only have the power we give to them?

Peter Blake said this in Mojo magazine about three years ago:
It didn't occur to me that the waxworks of the suited Beatles looked like 'the Beatles are dead; long live the Beatles' and that they were looking at their funeral flowers, but it's an interesting idea. We set up a couple of myths to find in the puzzle, but most of them are dead ends. What's intriguing is how the mythology never stops.
"Myths to find in the puzzle"... Haworth, comments?

and he babbled on about how "all of those people couldn't have been in on the secret. Yeah, that is always the pat answer, that a too great number of people had to be "in on it" so as to fool the populous. All the while ignoring the obvious, that the ones most necessary to fool are the ones in the midst of it. Any two bit conman doing time will tell you the easiest mark is one who thinks he's too smart to be fooled.. Wagging The Moondoggie was better reading than the Laurel Canyon stuff.

I knew before I clicked on it this would be from some time ago. (1999)
Julian has since gotten "shut up money" and will be quite silent on the subject of Yoko Ono henceforth...
Word hath it (unconfirmed rumor) that he is followed around at public profile events by "handlers" to make sure he doesn't get too chatty.

I still can't believe that I've been able to use the Beatles, McCartney, ELO, Pink Floyd and The Who, but I can't use a flipping Ruttles song. Yeah, well that was the last straw, cmom P(D)enny! As someone who has been given the heave-ho by Youtube not once but twice, I feel your pain. But, the weird thing is, there are dozens of Rutles clips still on Youtube, and yet they catch you within days.. Hmm.. Before you think they are out to get ya, maybe it was a heads up? Sending you an affirmative?

Ah well, sorry about that Jan..
The long departed from NIR "LJ" is pretty psyched I'll bet though!

Heh, that's a colorful image there TI.. But really, SP really gets annoying when he says something like this: The Beatles legend said: "Sadly we need disasters like this to show people. Some people don't believe in climate warming - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust.I don't know which is worse, saying that we need a disaster like this AT ALL, or comparing doubts about the scientific legitimacy of AGW to holocaust denial. "But the facts indicate that there's something going on and we've got to be aware of it if we want our kids to inherit a decent world, not a complete nightmare of a planet - clean, renewable energy is for starters."www.thefoxnation.com/entertainment/2010/06/24/beatle-mania-paul-mccartney-says-we-need-oil-spillsClean renewable energy is great, but I notice everyone who says this never offers a solution. Just a lot gum flapping/arm waving, not too impressive.. I think Tesla had a solution, but that's another story..

This is article is posted in the wrong forum; this forum is about James Paul McCartney, RIP, not the imposter Sir PAUL MCCARTNEY. True, pardon my lazy moderating..

I love Ringo's rant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAU0l7325w0I have too much to do.. Peace and love, peace and love.. ;D Wish I could go, but the timing is not right, and maybe I'd be tempted if the prices weren't high for such not so great seats, oh well.

I got it today, I'll say this for Highway 61, they are fast.
But oh boy... About the George Harrison voice and whether it was "authentic", the narrator claimed to have subjected it to multiple analysis from "forensic experts" and the results were "inconclusive". OK, dodged that bullet. But for me, and while I'm not an expert on English accents like Plastic Paul, there is no way this is George, for reasons discussed above for one, for two it just sounds like a semi-bad imitation. The actors who played the Beatles in the Yellow Submarine made the same mistake.. Trying too hard with the Scouse imitation.
Another problem is obvious, a mini recorder produces pretty crappy sound, the George voice sounds like it was recorded through professional equipment, or at the very least at a much higher tape speed than a mini cassette recorder.
Another big problem, the casual indifference to Beatle history, stuff even the most indifferent Beatle fan should know. Almost everyone here I'm sure knows Abbey road was recorded after Let It Be, not this movie. Another one, after the "Paul Is Dead" story broke in 1969, the movie claims that John was so afraid of MI5 thugs that he decided to divorce Cynthia.. Cmon now...
This movie will perhaps open some eyes as was said, but I think anyone who has been involved with this forum and especially TKIN for the past few years will know where this story came from.. Chapter and verse from the old 60IF story, with a dash of Rotten Apple. Even used that line about the dead Paul "looking like a Walrus", lol.
Fairly cheap entertainment, and I don't want to discourage anyone, but it is what it is..

Yeah that's the one. If you're gonna say you put that out there in a specific place, back it up with a way of tracking it down, as all usenet posts are indelibly time stamped.. The pictures of his floppy disks were not too impressive. Back to the DVD, it occurs to me that with a party who is deceased, false claims are hard if not impossible to disclaim. (I'm speaking generally, not about this DVD, my own little disclaimer, thankyouverymuch)

"A voice identical to Harrison"...
Well, there's his disclaimer, knew I'd find one. How much you wanna bet the DVD itself will have a long, LONG disclaimer on the cover, vetted by lawyers..
But oh well, not to say it won't be entertaining, I ordered it too. But really, someone took the 60IF ball and ran with it, seems like.. I'm just jealous that I didn't think of it! ;D
"...Two years later the first publication of 60IF ( June 18th 2002 ) a guy claimed to be the "author" of 60IF showing some floppy disks. Me and all who directly knows me had a great laugh.
I remember that guy, he claimed to have posted it on a Usenet newsgroup, and I did do a search on that. Couldn't find a thing, and he never said which newsgroup he posted on.. Seems like you would remember.
