Thanks Sam, Yes I do take the holidays off as you said. Have a nice holiday yourself and wish Paul and Heather and the baby a nice holiday if you see them again. Sara I agree with you that golf isn't my thing I also am not much for baseball but bowling I like because a friend of mine's stepson likes to bowl so I wert with him once to bowl and may do it again. I threw alot of gutterballs though lol! Anyway if we meet maybe you can go bowling with me.

HI, Giri, and you forgot to mention the best part of bowling that is the beer you take after throwin the balls wink

Yeah, Queen played at the Cavern and lived in Penny Lane!. It's written in their official biography. BTW, my operation Big Posting in Barcelona is gonna come true (I hope). My sister's gonna help me, we're planning to do it at the start of January. They want war... They'll have WAR!

Starr:
Hi Kathy i am here, for a while today anyways!! Hopey you have a great holiday!! And to all have a great holiday!!
Well, I'm here now!!!
Hey! I do like bowling...that's what I do on Saturdays.
And, that's just cool.
I went golfing a couple of times with my ex boyfriends, and wow, he's good!
*too bad, I'm only a putter...
* What does being cheeky mean?
*That better NOT be me...
* Oliver, you scare me lots when you talk like that. But I do know now that it's all good.
Sam, I hope you have a wicked golf game with the lads.
Have a VERY Happy Christmas you guys.

Oliver, you scare me lots when you talk like that. But I do know now that it's all good.
Well... music business it's almost like War. You can't trust anyone. And everyone goes against everyone. They use ads.... I can use ads too...
Lots of them... They don't want rock'n'roll... But we want rock'n'roll... It's War! BTW, Sam fought that War in Liverpool. Against The Cavern for instance. I admire his capacity to try Big Things, being those things risky and insecure. Sam and his Operations were like battles against the entertainment establishment then in Liverpool. But there's no evil really on it. You can be friend of the men on the other side. But it's business, not Art. If I can win Barcelona I can win the world too. Change "New York" for "Barcelona" in these lyrics and that's it: Start spreading the news I'm leaving today I want to be a part of it, New York, New York These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray And make a brand new start of it New York, New York I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap These little town blues Are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere It's up to you, New York, New York. I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap These little town blues Are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere It's up to you, New York, New York

Hi Oliver. I have to stop you here. You CAN trust many people. Not everyone is a crook. Eventually you'll find the right people and things will come out fine. Just say to yourself....I'm going to be careful and not get caught out by the wrong ones. Happy Christmas and a successful 2004 to everyone on this thread. Cheers. Sam.

Interesting article about our last year's thread's topic It's only big business, but I like it By daniel Finkelstein When Paul McCartney decided to claim songs such as "Yesterday", I was entirely on his side DESPITE CENTURIES OF LEARNING and scientific inquiry there are certain questions that human beings are unable to answer. For example, who would buy an anorak in a petrol station? Who listens all the way through to the end of In Our Time presented by Melvyn Bragg? Why did Marty Hopkirk stop in the middle of the road at the beginning of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) and allow himself to get run over when he could easily have made it to the other side? Yet if you have ever listened to a record and wondered ?who on earth likes that rubbish??, I have an answer. Me. I like pop music of all kinds and my taste is sufficiently catholic (indeed, it?s the only thing Catholic about me) that I guarantee that I derive enjoyment from at least one song that drives you mad every time you hear it. I used the word pop on purpose, incidentally, rather than talk with faux sophistication of rock. For the music I like best is direct, simple, melodic, commercial and immediate. Naturally, therefore, I idolise the Beatles, because when it comes to pure pop there is no one better. More controversially, it is Paul McCartney, the master of the direct and simple tune, rather than John Lennon, who is my hero. And when McCartney this week decided to assert himself and describe songs such as Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby as composed by McCartney and Lennon rather than Lennon and McCartney, I was entirely on his side. I understand his irritation at the way Lennon casually claimed other people?s work as his own, telling journalists that he?d written 70 per cent of the words of Eleanor Rigby when he?d contributed nothing. I understand too why McCartney might be angry at being told by the ludicrous Yoko Ono how to describe his compositions. Most of all, I can see why the crowning of Lennon by the critics as the greatest Beatle sends him round the bend. This business of swapping the credits round is a tiny way, petty but certainly excusable, to put his point of view. I haven?t always been so sympathetic to McCartney?s attempts to put the record straight. Over the past few years he has tried very hard to suggest that he, rather than Lennon, was the avant-garde Beatle. In extended interviews with Barry Miles for the book Many Years From Now, McCartney told of his years in London dabbling in drugs, experimenting with tape loops and sponsoring modern art while Lennon was spending his time vegetating in Weybridge. I thought that this rather missed the point. McCartney was the greatest Beatle because he was the more conventional of the songwriting duo, not because he was the more avant garde. It wasn?t because he dabbled in drugs that he was great, but because he wasn?t dragged down by them. Lennon became a heroin addict while McCartney kept his head about him. He was great because he was a control freak and a hard worker, because he knew how to look after money, because he wanted the Beatles to do bigger and better things. He was great not because he experimented with tape loops, but because he never allowed experimentation to distract him from making commercial pop. Without McCartney?s bourgeois conventionality there would have been no Sgt. Pepper?s Lonely Hearts Club Band, no Magical Mystery Tour, no Let it Be, no Abbey Road. Indeed, after the death of Brian Epstein, almost certainly no Beatles. What holds for McCartney is true more broadly. When Mick Jagger accepted a knighthood some fans felt he should have turned it down. They, too, missed the point. Jagger succeeded not despite his hard-headed economics-student establishment instinct but because of it. His genius was not the rejection of middle-class society but knowing how to turn its desire for a little vicarious danger into money. So many rock fans and critics regard commercialism and ?selling out? as the deadliest pop sins. Yet ?selling out? is the whole point of pop music. Some of the greatest pop of all has been the most manufactured, cynical product. Motown music was composed by employees working office hours. They played cards when no one was looking, then rushed back to the piano when they heard Berry Gordy?s footsteps on the stairs. The results, produced over and over again, were fantastic. I know it?s only big business but I like it, like it, yes, I do. _________________ If God had not meant us to cry, he wouldn't have given us tears. -- Paul, 'Yesterday and Today', pg. 39
