A memorial concert for John Lennon was held in Liverpool 15years ago today. Both Ringo and Paul participated in some way but George didn't.
You can buy it on DVD somewhere...

George was a prude.

>:( at George for not going.
So you're angry at George for not going? Do you know why he didn't go? If you don't, how can you be angry at him?
-
George was a prude.
What's that got to do with it?
-
Might be the reason he didnt go. Thats what it has to do with it.

Assuming George was a prude (and how would ya know?, but that's another angle), how would that be the reason he didn't go?
Come on Tkitna, I'm not getting at you! Just tell us what's in your head!

All i'm saying is that i've seen hermit crabs with better social status than George. He really didnt seem to get out much, did he? Plus, I feel he had a chip on his shoulder since 1969 concerning the other guys.
Dont make so much into it. After all, as you've said many times before, its a public forum and we're all entitled to our opinions.

Yes, but it's a forum. We're supposed to discuss, explain, enlarge - not merely assert.
Anyway, nothing you've said in your last post seems to have anything to do with George being a prude! A prude is someone who is overly prim, or easily offended by 'naughty' words or actions. That's the reason I was wanting you to expand on what you said: I wouldn't have called George a prude, myself. I'm thinking that you have a different understanding of 'prude' to what I have.
-
another use of the word is to describe someone who doesnt socialize wll with others, aka a homebody. and therefore he would stay home. possibly

Prude - One who is excessively concerned with being or appearing to be proper, modest, or righteous.
or, a definition that fits an example of Ydoll perfectly -
prude
A person who's Superego overwhelms their Id.

How cute: sadly though, I have to tell you you have missed the point.
That first def of prude is OK - providing you realize that it means 'proper, modest, righteous' in a sexual purity sense. Prudes don't like to use or hear swearing, even of very mild sorts. They don't like clothing that reveals what they consider too much flesh, or clothing that is provocative sexually. They don't like behavior that is in the least lewd, 'immoral' sexually, etc. I doubt if George was a prude in these senses.
He was certainly a 'righteous' man, in the sense of being sure of what is a (a, not the, note) correct pathway to 'god'. Righteous has lots of meanings, but trying to apply 'prude' to George via one of the other meanings of righteous is intellectually dishonest.
As to the other definition A person who's Superego overwhelms their Id.
, I wonder if you actually know what it means? If a person's 'superego' overwhelms their 'id', that simply means that their 'moral conscience' prohibits their 'basic instincts'. It's a Freudian idea, this id/ego/superego thing. A Freudian would possibly agree that a prude IS such a person.
But in reckoning that the definition could apply to me, clearly you have made the schoolboy mistake of thinking that the 'super' in 'superego' means big, or bloated. It doesn't - it means simply 'above'. So superego means above self (= ego).
There ya go, mate!

Not so. I really didn't know what he meant when he said George didn't go because he was a prude.
If ya go back and follow what was said, it was Tkitna that got bad-mannered first!

What I saw of "Dirk" was that he was a guy who had very weak English, and made mistakes as a result. Then he was laughed at, mocked, derided and attacked. He then certainly did some stupid things (porn etc). But if people has INITIALLY been more understanding of his language and idiom difficulties, all would have been OK.
I think I know where heis posting now, and on that board all is sweet.

commonwealth there?

I saw it (the Oedipus thing) but was going to ignore it as it was a complete non-sequitur.

Country's popular - amongst some folk, who are very very keen. However, a radio station here in Sydney decided to play nothing but country a while ago, and bombed in the ratings completely.
-
yeah too much kills the mood.if you played it backwards you get the wife,dog and house back....
-
what do the beaches offer besides sharks?
Sand - with glass, cig butts, plastic bags, dog s h i t all buried in it about 1 cm deep.
Annoying tourists who don't know how to behave safely, despite all the signs. Each summer, many drown!
Topless sunbathing, bottomless sunbathing.
Skin cancers, melanomas.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

To put us back on topic...
Yeah, I remember there was a concert in Liverpool for John's 50th birthday... I was there!!! It was held at Albert Dock and was absolutely huge! Unfortunately Paul, George or Ringo didn't attend - but Paul and Ringo did send personal messages via a large screen with Paul playing his PS Love Me Do mudley (yes, MUDLEY!) and Ringo singing I Call Your Name (backed by Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne etc).
Yoko and Sean appeared though - they came on stage at the end to tremendous cheers. Yoko was going to make a speach but she broke down in tears as the whole crowd began chanting Give Peace A Chance - it was extremely moving. In the end she had to leave the stage accompanied by Sean.
There was a video of it released a good few years back, I don't know if it's on DVD though - here are the details taken from my copy of the video:

Edited to make the word s h i t readable as s h i t, and not that mealy-mouthed auto-censored 'mess'.
You can switch off the "auto-censor" feature by going into "Member Center".

"speach speach!!" lol

How was Elton doing Imagine? I can't picture it, but I would think he'd do a pretty good job. No one's voice could be as sweet as Lennon's though. Not even Elton. Especially nowadays.

I love 80's pop duos.
