*********** I'm always happy to hear that people go back to doing TM (even if it's only once every few months as with Ringo), but really, who cares what lowlife minstrels like the Beatles think? They did a lot of deplorable things before and after they gained fame: "The Beatles avoided arrest by offering to pay for the goods. They didn't have the money, but the waiters pooled their money to raise fifty pounds. Then the waiters wanted their money back. The Beatles came up with a plan to mug one of the customers for the money. John and Pete tried unsuccessfully to rob a drunken sailor several evening later." http://www.beatlemoney.com/beatles6063germany.htm To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
