joe..i am not sending yoko a card..what made you think i would be doing so?...merle
Merle, Oh, you're welcome. But this information is publicly available, broadly disseminated, widely known, and much appreciated among most of John's fans in USA. I can't speak for elsewhere. Are you "up" on the doings of the 80 year-old widow? She had her birthday a couple of weeks ago, and I asked you then if you'd sent your card. Let me know if you need her address. International postage is only about a buck, you know, and still a pretty good deal for personal, daily, delivery, 6 days a week; this Summer to diminish 17 percent and become only 5 days in USA, which is probably enough. I'd be fine with three days a week. Or once. CH'AN MAGAZINE arrives monthly. BTW, here's the naming "citation" for Minor Planet (3834) Zappafrank -- Citation for (3834) The following citation is from MPC 23792: (3834) Zappafrank = 1980 JE Named in memory of Frank Zappa (1940-1993), rock musician and composer of innovative contemporary symphonic, chamber and electronic music. Zappa was an eclectic, self-trained artist and composer with incredible energy and a biting wit, and his music transcends the usual music barriers. Before 1989 he was regarded as a symbol of democracy and freedom by many people in Czechoslovakia. --Joe > Merle Lester wrote: > > joe..thank you for your insight..i take it aboard..merle > > Merle, > > I know it's already a week or three ago, when we went into this. > > Just to refer you to the testimony of an honest American musician. > > And, the Goldman bio says much more in more detail; it's a book, however, to > be read: > > http://www.amazon.com/Lives-John-Lennon-Albert-Goldman/dp/1556523998/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362469247&sr=8-1&keywords=lives+of+john+lennon > > These voices add up and overflow to a cacophony of truth, and they overpower > -- in force of Love and respect -- all the myth and overestimation of the > "goodness" of John and Yoko, especially in business and musical arenas, in > times when they were both strung out on junk, which was always.
