Hi Kathy. You don't have to be m,ad to post on this thread...but it helps. One thing about chatting with someone as young as you is the fact that I can throw some old jokes at you. Love and hugs. sam.

Hi Christina (Harelyblues). Reading back I noticed I missed one of your posts...sorry. Where are you now ? Love and hugs Sam.

Hi Sam, These questions are kind of silly but I was just wondering if Paul was a hippie,and remember how I was sad last week,did John ever cry or did you ever see him cry? I just wondered since me and Sara talked about guys having trouble showing emotions and I know Paul does bu I was wondering if John ever did?
-
Hi Giri (Paulfan). Paul was a latent hippie I feel. He liked the basic idea but also preferred to be normal as well. To explain better he liked the freedom of being a hippie and also enjoyed being conservative when he wanted to. it seems John cried when his Mother died but I only saw him almost cry once on stage at a show in Southport near Liverpool. A girl at the back asked him to sing `If you want to make a fool of somebody.' John seemed to choke on some of the words and looked very upset. So did the girl. This was before he was married to Cynthia. Cheers. Sam.

Hi Sam, Thanks for the answer. I like Paul's idea of being a hippie but having some conservative views as well. He balanced it out which I think is the right way to do it somwehre int he middle. I say the 70s was the perfect decade for him since it was a combination of clean cut with hippie. I think paul's type of hippie is the hippies I like. As for John I'm surrpised eh did cry. I wonder why he almost cried on stage? Was it because he was thinking of his mother or was he touched bv the song? John probably cried in private and not in front of others. I asked because us guys don't like to cry in public and John put on a tough guy front in public to hidde his insecurities as you say.

Paul, the latent hippie...Very true indeed and all the more reason to respect his thoughts on my part.

Well said Magical Msytery Girl.
-
Paulfan. The point I was trying to make was there seemed to be something between John and the girl who made the request. Obviously whatever it was it upset them both. Cheers Sam.

Sam, when I went to vote earlier this morning, it put you up by one vote. I think I was a latent hippie, too, until I went away to college. I graduated from high school in 1969 and didn't even know until our 20th class reunion that people were smoking dope, but I figured it out once I got into dorm life. roll Especially, when I went to graduate school at one of the hippie capitals of the US, the University of Colorado in Boulder, still a big hippie town.
-
Hi again Paulfan. I'd forgotten to say that after the show I asked John who was the girl and he looked a little sheepish...but didn't reply. Cheers. Sam.
-
Hi Linda (Maccascruff). I too was a latent hippie but as I was newly married never got into it. But I was there in spirit...especially sticking flowers down rifle barrels. Love and hugs Sam.
-
I'm a practicing hippie...
-
Hi Lisa Well, they say practice makes perfect. Keep it going !! The hippy era was a beautiful time. Love and hugs Sam.

BTW everyone. I hadn't been keeping an eye on the date...and I missed an important one yesterday. On Jan 25th 1961 I saw The Beatles performing for the first time. 43 years ago...wow. The story of that starts on my home page at www.samleach.com Cheers Sam.
-
Hi Sam wow 43 years ago?? Time sure flies doesnt it?? I wasn't even born then yet!! Just think February 9th is the Beatles 40th anniversary, just doesn't seem possible!!! Remember the Grammys are the day before Sunday February 8th, George is up for a couple nominations!!
I sure hope he wins!! Have a great day all!!
-
Hi Sara (Starr). Yes time really moves along. Talking of Feb 9th The Beatles first appearance for me was at The Cassanova Club FEB 9th 1961. Three years later they're on Ed Sullivan. And to think I was a stepping stone in their rapid rise to fame. WOW again !! Love and hugs Sam.
-
Hi Sam that is neat you were there to help them get started!! I can't think of anyone better who could've done that for them!!
Their Ed Sullivan appearance is so Powerful!! i get chills everytime i watch it on my tape!! It was so electric and you could tell how much they were enjoying themselves!! I have the Beatles First USA tour documentry i love that because you get to see them in hotels being themselves and having fun!! It's a great film to watch!!
