James:
I have given up on all of the remaining living Beatles (this was my
professional choice), even though I worked at the same company as the Beatles
did in the mid 60's (Capitol Records Tower label in Hollywood), I kid you not.
I feel they could have done a better job of production as well as fan
appreciation, which would have extended their careers, IMHO..
What a bunch of Ego Maniac's they were though. Who do they think they are
laughing at Fans is my question to them? Do they laugh at their bread and
butter, too? That said their musical ability was second to none. But musical
ability is spiritual ability and it will only carry one so far without real fan
love and a much deeper commitment and that's my opinion of why they could no
longer create music together. They lost this ability after John said that they
were bigger than Jesus. Talk about bringing your own downfall?
Be kind to the people is my philosophy. I am, and I remain. However The
Beatles don't see things the same way as I do. Each one of us has had negative
experiences with stars where we have blamed (either) the lack of keeping a
promise to a fan or neglecting to follow through by a rock star.
Where as someone like Graham Nash, considered to be ("The Gentleman of Rock &
Roll") he is a real person who would never dream of disappointing any fan.
Justin Hayward and even John Lodge of the Moody Blues are all this way. So why
weren't the Beatles?

P.S.
I am not here to patronize musical ego maniacs either.
Sorry,it's just not in me to do that nor will I back down from an issue.
I stand firm in my commitments.
Again Apologies.
But I remain,
t.

If you have a problem with Ringo Starr, why would that
affect your opinion towards Paul, another "Beatle"?
I went to his show last year at MSG and I can
promise you there were no attack dogs there.
I'm still waiting for John and George to come
back with or without dogs.

I hope this doesn't get me into trouble in this group, and what I am about to
share here is not meant as a slight to anyone here, but..................
Not only did my wife see the Beatles at Dodger Stadium August 26 or the 29,
1966.
But when I bought tickets two years ago to see "Ringo Star" we all refused to
attend because of the use of attack dogs amongst the crowd, and Gestapo style
police allowed and endorsed by "Ringo". The climate felt like South Africa
during the Apartite (sp?) regime. Needless to say not one of us will be buying
any more tickets to see any member of "The Beatles" again..
That said, I have hired many other bands from "England's Shores" to do shows
for us and I will continue to do so. Take "The Moody Blues or Donovan" for
instance? I have hired the Moody's twice in my short career (BTW, I'm Irish and
I do stretch the truth a little, but I never lie). and I am trying to hire
Donovan again as well.
Tommy.
P.S.
Here's a hint for you as to whom I am, Ti's I whom put the L.A. Love-In's
together and my signature is on each and every one of the "Griffith Park
Permits".. I have been asked to whip up some elven magic again by the Park
Rangers. Minus the Beatlesof course.
