Hi Samcat I'm fine now thanks. The hardest part was playing catch-up with e-mails and this thread. But I enjoyed it. Cheers Sam.

Hi Cesar & Sara. Regards Michael Jackson. I think he's a bloody fool but it's quite possible he doesn't touch kids in a bad way. He's too open and despite the earlier case still makes a fuss of children. But he had no excuse for hanging his child out of that window...that was plain nutty. Maybe I'm just being a Brit and feel everyone is innocent until proved otherwise but I feel he was sticthed up in the Jody Case where he was advised just to pay out and forget it. The Step-father of Jody was clearly cashing in. I think Jackson really likes kids and doesn't do anything bad. However, judging by the naive way he conducts himself he needs to grow up...and fast !! Let's wait and see what the REAL evidence is. That's the British and American way...right ?? Cheers Sam.

Hi, all... have you seen what´s happening with Jacko guy ? I will never understand how this guy once happened to have " rights " about Beatle songs... how could be... I hope spend 10 years in jail for his sexual abuse and 10 extra for his sick music.... I always detested this guy his person and his " music " that take the place of honest musicians what ´s your opinion about ??? tchao
First of all, we got to presume innocence. They have arrested him for a thing that happened 11 years ago. So, maybe for money. If that family shut up for money they're doing a crime. I think he's just ill. If he did something bad to children... he's not responsible for his actions. How could he had the Beatles rights? Because he made the most sold album in history, "Thriller" and he invested in Lennon/McCartney songs (or Mc/L). I'm not gonna say all this music is bad. You've got to separate the music from the musician.
-
true, if it is true i have no sympathy but you're right it's all speculation now.
-
I'm not really sure what to make of Michael. I find it all very disturbing. Watching that interview he did, I found myself thinking he was sort or like a 12 year old who never matured. But, these new allegations do make me wonder if there is something darker there. At the very least, I have to question his mental state. Besides all of the bizarre behavior and surgeries, any rational person having been once accused of such a horrible crime would take great lengths to make sure they stayed away from anything (like having kids sleep over) that could place them in that sort of situation again, but not Michael. He just continued hanging out with children.
-
I think he needs help or call it medical sanity.
-
BTW, what happens to Paul's voice on the Long and Winding Road-Naked?. It seems that they have distorted it or so. He sounds like a robot. Sorry, but it makes a ugly impression. Maybe it was the only way to do it.

Hello again Sam , well I still haven?t read this whole thread yet, but one thing I can say, you?re a heck of a nice guy. You speak very well, and I?m very impressed, not because of who you are, but by how you speak and respond to everyone who posts here. Not a single post goes unanswered by you, which makes me realize that I?ve never read any of your books. I was wondering if your latest book was, ?The Rocking City: The Explosive Birth of the Beatles?? Also, can you tell me the difference between, that book and the ?Birth of the Beatles.? I can?t buy both, having just purchased, like almost everyone, the Lennon Legend DVD, Concert for George DVD, & Let It Be?.Naked. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate if you can recommend which book I should buy first. Any information you provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, peace and love, Joanne

Hi everyone, I have been busy and haven't had time to read this thread lately. I hope everyone is doing well. Great to hear about George being inducted into the Hall of Fame. The honor is well deserved. ~Tashi
-
Hi all. No doubt the most thrilling moment at the Let It Be bonus CD is Ringo and John playing Imagine with piano and drums. I've looped it and made a 5 minute-track from it.
-
Hi Tashi you're right it is amazing George is FINALLY inducteed in the hall of fame it should've happened long ago, wouldnt it be something if his son Dhani inducted him and performed a song of his? Or even if Ringo and Paul were there? Now we'll just need to get Ringo in there as a solo artist then all 4 Beatles will be in both as a group and individually!
-
Hi Sara It would be wonderful if Dhani and Olivia were to induct him. To me they are the perfect choice. I would love to hear Dhani perform some of his dad's songs. I also hope Ringo is inducted eventually as well as Brian Epstein. With all of the bs politics at the HOF who knows when/if that will happen.
-
yes i agree tashi they should be in there as well, you know how at the end of the show they usually do a song with all the people inducteed, i know with Paul McCartney they did Let it Be and everyone was on stage who had been inducteed, but they could do here comes the sun with Dhani, Paul, Ringo, and Eric Clapton? Or just Dhani doing a song by himself would be something!
-
That would be cool Sara!! I think I would start crying if it were to happen.

Hi everyone, I heard LEt IT Be Nkaed today. Get Back sounds just like it did on the original Let iT Be and it seems as if they have lsss songs on this new cd. I've Got A Feeling is a great song from Paul and Across The Universe has John's voice without the bakcground music much. IT sounds rpetty good so far. Fly On The Wall had some commnets from Paul and it seemed as if he wanted the Beatles to work pretty hard. Maybe I may buy it sometime. As for Michael Jackson the man needs help. As my brother said I don't care for him,he is just another old fart on his way down.

Hello Sam, everyone! Just dropping by to say a quick thank you Sam for answering my question! I REALLY couldn't picture you as dabbling in the "magic potion's" of the era, but I was really curious, and just had to ask! It must have seemed crazy at the time, so many were, but look at all the fantastic music that came out of it, lol! Wishing you all well, talk to you soon! Love and hugs, Merry
-
Hi Sam and all! Have a great weekend! Nice to see you here Merry!

Doesn't anybody notice what happens with Paul-voice on the Long and winding Road? And... I've never copied anything from a CD. And I've done it today with the Imagine thing on Fly on The Wall just with a few clicks. When the record is meant to be "copy controlled". I don't know what's happening on EMI. : It's a surreal thing.
-
Anyone read the booklet included with the LIBN CD? I think it gives great insight into their minds at the time. When I read their conversation, it struck me how they were so much on each other's wavelength, like twins. It also shows how they were ahead of their time when Paul talks about doing "visuals" of their performance. All in all, I like the CD. It sounds fresh and pure Beatles. Those boys could really gel together.
-
I hate to say this. I don't like record companies as you know... But that thing made with the supposed "Copy Control" to the Beatles' LP is maybe the worst thing I've seen ever in the industry. And we are in 2003. Actually I bought the CD to "Support" musical creation, artists, rock'n'roll you can call it the way you want it. Make good music #1 again. I now I see that their "Copy Control" system is a kind of joke. I think that's meant to be the most copied record ever. If EMI records was a country, the Prime Minister should have to present his resignment. I hate to say it, but these people now in the record labels are totally useless.
