Thanks very much, Ralph. I have loved the Beatles for over 30 years now, they have brought so much pleasure to me in my life. So glad you enjoy the articles on the Fab Four.
Larry, I have no idea who that solemn-looking chap is. He is sure serious looking. And Neil, oh yes, there was a huge controversy in the summer of '69 about the supposed death of Paul McCartney. It is an incredible story.
Miss Cellania, by a very odd coincidence, the last day of filming of "Grease" was on the exact day Elvis died- Aug. 16, 1977. The scene where the Pink Ladies sing "Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee" and Stockard Channing sings to Elvis' picture on the wall, that was the final scene filmed in "Grease".
I agree, Durango, I don't think I've ever seen an actual photo of Tommy Moore. But it is not Pete Best in that picture. I believe the drummer that day was a fill-in (note his different outfit) because the Beatles had no drummer. His name was Johnny Hutchinson. If he looks bored and distracted, that's because he was. At the time of that photo, the Beatles were a small-time band. Johnny's actual band was Cass and the Cassanovas, a bigger name band. This is a photo of the Beatles auditioning for a tour of Scotland. This photo is May of 1960 and Pete didn't join the band until August. And Miss Cellania, thank you for the great pictures you added!!!
I know it is hard to believe, but it is true, Elvis "made love to it as if it were a girl", according to the L.A. Times. It was October 29, 1957. You can google it very easily, as witnesses at the concert say he did simulate sex acts with Nipper the dog. I love Elvis, he is a hero of mine, but he did some pretty crazy stuff back in the '50's.
You know, I am not really sure why the Kellogg's people fired me, but it was a great gig. You get paid unbelievable money if you can get a national commercial. And everyone I worked with was great, I hated to lose that one.
Thanks about "1941" too!
