I didnโt know that until this week. I think he would have liked it to be his music. But, yeah, heโd probably have preferred โStrawberry Fields.โ
I read this was the first song they ever sang on American TV on Ed Sullivan. That sounds right. I had thought it was Please Please Me, but it's this one, according to Google.
I also remember when John Lennon was being rushed to the ER, the reporter said this song was playing on the muzak in the elevator when they brought him into Roosevelt Hospital.
So, maybe the last thing he heard was their music. I imagine he would have grumbled that it had to be Paul singing lead, but to go into heaven hearing his own music. I don't know, but it's one of the things that comforted me at the time.
Oh wow thanks ๐๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ for this marvelousness! In my crazy childhood they were my lifeline to sanity and boundless ๐๐น! I'm blessed to have gotten an acoustic guitar ๐๐ธ to replace mine taken.
Each time this song plays, my senses awaken, and a surge of energy courses through me. My skin tingles, hairs standing on end, as endorphins flood my system, sparking waves of dopamine that make me feel like a live wire. The air shimmers with vibrant blues, and my spirit radiates joy, elation, and pure ecstasy.
I agree. It's hard to believe this was recorded so long ago, isn't it. But, wow. Their voices just seem to fit. Let's hope that one day, whether in this life or in the future, we do meet with them and get to hear them together again.
I always admired Jane Asher. She never sold her story or blabbed about Paul this or Paul that. I think all the other ex-es cashed in. Maybe not Maureen Starkey. Not sure about her. She seemed more private, too.
I remember how lovely Jane Asher was in the movie, Alfie.
But I noticed that she didn't seem as hurt by the breakup as he did. She seemed to be more relieved than hurt in everything I saw about it.
Whew ... Ten years. In the blink of an eye, I've been a member of this wonderful website for ten years. How is that possible? In many ways, I still feel like a bit of a newbie, in awe of some of the more seasoned writers. And then, in many other ways I feel like I've never not been a member. I feel like WDC and writing is now a part of my DNA. I don't know where I would be without you guys. And, really, this site has the most incredible people working together to make everyone, new and old, feel welcome. I feel genuinely blessed to have met some people on here I now consider good friends. Okay, so we've never met, physically. But I still feel that connection that deep understanding, acceptance and friendship brings.
I feel like I'm writing my Oscar acceptance speech; I'm being very gushing. Actually, no. It's my Nobel Prize for Literature speech
Thank you, to everyone who sent me anniversary wishes, reviews and gifts yesterday. I felt truly loved and humbled by how kind and generous you all are. This is what community is all about.
