I recently picked up the November 1965 issue of the Beatles monthly magazine, and the March 1966 issue. Basically, they are awesome!!

True, that we need to change the way 1st world countries live. However, we also cannot ignore the problems of poverty and AIDS around the globe. while its true that poverty will never go completely away, there is a serious need for it to at least be minimized. There are people all over the globe who go through hell with AIDS and poverty. And they need to be helped.

Coool! Environmental stuff is the BEST.

The purpose of campaigns such as ONE are more to shed some light on the things happening away from our own countries. You may not think things such as AIDS and poverty are too important, since the ONE campaign helps only Africa. But it is an important campaign, and just because OUR countries aren't involved, doesn't mean we shouldn't help people in other parts of the world. Sure, we have problems in our own countries. But no where near the problems (health related mainly) that Africa does. So, by shedding light on the issue, the ONE campaign is helping us all help our brothers in need!

Basically, I have CD's, LP's, DVD's of the Beatles, their solo careers, and of Wings. I have quite a few pieces of Beatles-related clothing. and I have tons of books and chord books. I have the Beatles Yellow Submarine action figures (I take the Paul EVERYWHERE--he is my travelling buddy!) I have pins, buttons, keychains and stickers--really anything cool I can get my hands on. Also, the guitars that I own and play were chosen because of the Beatles- I have a Fender sunburst strat (like McCartney plays, only with a light neck instead of a dark one) and I have an Epiphone Texan, a 1979 model. Which I chose because Paul plays a '64 Epiphone Texan and played it on YESTERDAY && JENNY WREN, and also played it on the Ed Sullivan Show.

I told you all a while back about my 1979 Epiphone Texan acoustic guitar. Not EXACTLY Beatles memorabilia, but Paul plays one just like it. Anyway, I was checking out my guitar's serial number, and I decided to email the company to find out exactly when it had been made. Turns out, the place where I bought the guitar had actually mislabeled it. It actually is from 1961! One of the earliest Texans Its older than Paul's, but its still FABULOUS! Here's a link to pictures of it, if you want to see: http://s186.photobucket.com/albums/x7/ximxinxtattersx/

Paul, you are amazing. That is all.

check out the first 20 seconds. they are the greatest.

Well, let's say Paul tours the US this year... guess I'll be going to that otherwise, I dunno if there's anything. I guess it just depends on who decides to tour!

Paul, what [in your opinion] is the best flavour of Italian Soda?

Also, have you all seen the Shakespearean Beatles skit? If not (or even if you have), here is the link:

its a fun little bit to watch, although the screaming of the avid fans gets to be a bit much at some points. but, hey! That's part of what made the Beatles the Beatles!
