I've only heard small bits of it, but what I've heard has never appealed to me.

Yes, that's the one Yankeefan. If Paul and MPL put Jimmy's Introduction at the beginning of the track, it surely would make it more of a rarity.

Have you been watching any of the Girls NCAA March Madness? The girl I love to watch is Kaitlin Clark the 6 Foot Guard from Iowa. They play South Carolina on Friday night. South Carolina is undefeated for the whole Season. Clark is so much fun to watch! I'm definitely going to watch that Game! Just hope it turns out to be a good game. South Carolina is so deep that they have been favored to win the tournament all along.

I've always found it frustrating that Wings Over America (and Paul's live albums in general) leave out the spoken intros and between-song banter. That's part of the live experience and it's pretty much always left out.

As I do every year, I am ignoring March Madness.

Jerrold Samuels, aka Napoleon XIV, who had a novelty hit in the sixties with "They're Coming to Take Me Away." I remember hearing this all the time on the Dr. Demento Show. Sigh...

Here in Hilo it's been raining for a couple weeks. But at least it slowed down the last couple days, after a weekend of flood warnings and 15 inches of rain in 36 hours!

Yikes! Is your place okay - no flooding?

My house was fine, though I had a small lake in my front yard one day. I strongly suspect one part of my street was under water for a bit, but I had no need to go out and test it. A couple semi-major roads were flooded out for a couple days, but not near me.

Sigh... the stars from my childhood are slipping away. When Julie Andrews goes, I'm going to lose it completely.

@njr If you asked me to point to the one song that most perfectly captured the cultural vibe of 1967, "All You Need Is Love" would be it.

@gordy-js Or it could just be that someone on Paul's staff simply copied and pasted old language into a new announcement without updating it. And since he certainly hasn't ruled out future tours, it's probably the safe move, but I wouldn't take it as proof that something is imminent.

@yankeefan2 I would love to know what, if anything, is going on with "It's a Wonderful Life." But I have to assume the lack of news means nothing good, at least not soon.

The U.S. press in 1964 almost universally thought the Beatles were, at best, a mildly interesting novelty that would be forgotten in a year. They were, it appears, somewhat mistaken.
