Years ago, Philip Norman published his book, Paul McCartney: The Life. I checked it out from the library for my Sis in large print. The book is twenty-nine pages short of 1200! Sis took one look at the book and said, “It’s too heavy.” I had it in the return pile but then decided to… Continue reading The Not So Trivial Trivia of Paul McCartney

Just Me and the Pups
(re-run) It’s New Year’s Eve and my adult children just left for a party. My eldest and her hubby flew home this morning. The house is empty except for me and three dogs. They’re calm now, but at midnight, when the fireworks go off, Daisy will dive under the bed. As I scroll on Facebook,… Continue reading Just Me and the Pups
The Beatles and Me
(re-run from 2021) I just realized the other day that the Beatles have been in my life for 57 of my 65 years. My older sis was a fan when they first played for America on the Ed Sullivan show. I was 8, going on 9. Little did I know that our bedroom would soon… Continue reading The Beatles and Me
The Value of Rock and Roll Music
(re-run) John Lennon is turning over in his grave. One of his biggest songs, All You Need is Love, is now a GAP commercial with Katy Perry singing it as she poses for the camera in GAP clothing. Dick’s Sporting Goods uses Come Together in an ad, and Airbnb uses In My Life. If only… Continue reading The Value of Rock and Roll Music

I’m a fan, but that’s kind of crazy. Then I saw the book The Lyrics featured in the monthly Costco magazine. I… Continue reading Score at the Beach
Get Back
Who knew that John Lennon could be silly, smiley, and fun? Most books I’ve read about him portrayed him as surly and not too nice. Peter Jackson’s eight-hour Beatles’ documentary (yes, 8) this past weekend shows the lighter side of John Lennon. Aside from the introduction where Jackson misstates the ages of Paul and George… Continue reading Get Back
The Value of Rock and Roll Music
John Lennon is turning over in his grave. One of his biggest songs, All You Need is Love, is now a GAP commercial with Katy Perry singing it as she poses for the camera in GAP clothing. If only John, Paul, and their manager, Brian Epstein, had had a clue about contracts and song rights… Continue reading The Value of Rock and Roll Music
