Some of them seemed that were thinking in that way, yep ... sadly!

:'( Sad to see it.

:'( Sad to see it.
I understand you ... it's so cold to see it written down in a piece of paper!

Aw. Makes me sad. Thanks for posting this!

Hidden interesting things ... and we're not talking about George real identity now!!! ;D

True the dream is over---
When John signed it--he vowed not to re-unite!
Many say in rumer the did play in Holland & Sweeden at private spots!
Henc the toot & snort recordings!
I feel John had stayed sted fast to ----- I don't beleave in Beatles--I beleave in me--I'm John!
Thats what he wanted to be seen as!
The Beatles were a lable!
Much like martial arts!
Karate-tae kwon dp ect are lables!
No one can punch or kick an ethnic! We all puch & kick the same round line-straight line--curved line!
Now how you use your body at that time--thats what makes it unquie & you! Not a style1
The Beatles became a lable--product--even in Minn. there was one policeman who gave an interveiw & stated!
The Beatles manager needed to keep his product in check!
They threw partys & had underage girls in thier rooms!
So to John & George---it was better to get a desolve & play the music as they wanted to!
John played with Jager--Elton--elephants memory--Zapa ect!
George had Ringo--Clapton--Dylan--Petty--Orbison--Lynn ect!!
Paul aslo had Ringo---Mike Jackson--Denny Lane---ect ect!
They did the 1 event that helped us see--Music no matter how hard it is or soft!
It does not hurt!
So Hit me with music!

toot and snore comes from johns visit to california....there is at least proof and documentation of that....

I can't see Stevie Wonder and Harry Nillson going all the way to Sweden. Shame Toot n a Snore ended up such a bore! lol

I know that--i was refering to the old Beatle mags were you can get old clips of 8mill films for $15!!
they always stated--Some odd distant place like Holland ect!
They were more like the Globe or Enquire--a teen mag of the beatle groupies!
Something for them to buy & start the frenzie all over!
Much like the Elvis sightings oafter his death!
It's all daft to me!
I will try to remeber to be more percise on the comments!
If you find one of the old mags dated around 74-75--then you will see what I was talking of!
Plus they are probley collectors items now!

OK Djinn, try not to be so condecending, just because you live in The States and think nothing else happens outside of it. Holland is not 'some distant place', as you so nicely put it. It is actually - if you bothered to look it up in an atlas (do you have one?) - 45 minutes on a plane from London. Btw, Denmark, where I live and which was also the first place to host The Beatles sans Ringo, is about the same distance. But then I guess we Europeans are a bit backward compared to your sophisticated country.

Ooooh...
...but I know what you mean by Djinn's comment.
Countries can be sophisticated in different ways. America is always advanced in many ways, but the mediterranean lifestyle is sooo much more sophisticated in other ways. But, then, Japan still more than America in those American advanced ways. And, in the 'third world' (let's avoid that derogatory term, and say Less Developed Countries), where families often work together at close quarters, they've got very close family life and family support. Something many western countries seem to lack! Viva planet earth! :)

Nicely put.

Djinn's spelling is Awful for a person of his age! As for Europe,I've been there and plan to move to Ireland in the future!Europe is Great!!!!!!!!! 8)

*waves hand* I'm an American! I am! I can also spell, but don't hold that against me. ;)
But then I guess we Europeans are a bit backward compared to your sophisticated country.
*pats Europe on the back* It's painful, isn't it, BM? After all, we invented fast food! Disposable diapers! Cow horns attached to front grills of cars. All the trappings of a sophisticated society that I'm sure the Europeans will want to emulate! In general you have better cell-phone systems and broadband service than we do, better health-care and public education. But we produce most of the world's entertainment and I'm willing to wager we borrow the most money! :)
America is always advanced in many ways
I suppose I'll have to concede that one. I do believe we still lead the world in number of lawyers and frivolous law suits. We also lead the world in the number of medical errors and a health-care system so flawed that it may be, in fact, the leading cause of death in this country. On the other hand, we are both the major importer and exporter of firearms, ammunition, musical instruments, pyrotechnics, explosives, and radioactive materials. But musical instruments are on the list!
To bring this post back on topic (checks to see what the topic was), I certainly hope numerous American lawyers were involved in the breakup of the Beatles. I like to think we were in there when it happened, contributing in one of the things we do best. Cheers, everyone!
ETA for Revolution: I've been to Ireland too and think it's great. Right now New Zealand has captured my heart. But there's a lot of countries I want to visit; I've only dipped my toe into Europe so far: England, Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic. Holland is on the list!

Nothing personal. It was aimed at one person in particular!
-
Oh, I didn't take it personally! *hugs BlueMeanie wildly* You were the first person to welcome me to this forum; I will love Blue Meanies forever! *pets Glove*
It's just that there are many things about my country these days that I find depressing, and this conversation pushed that button. Sorry! I will try to keep my comments happy and light from now on. (Should I remove that last post? It wasn't meant to be so provocative.) Cheers.

(Should I remove that last post? It wasn't meant to be so provocative.) Cheers.
Oh no. Please don't ;D

If you remeber--John had so much passion for America--He moved here>
I ment no offence to any place--seems you always llok for the bad in everything.
I wonder how you would handle cold turkey?
That is good/bad at the same time.
-
I see no need to remove it. Let's express ourselves, but stay within the boundaries of reason. I'm just trying to harmonize. (Man!). Well, I think America is on the whole good, and has indeed contributed much to the world. Thanks for helping us destroy Nazism! I mean it seriously. If you want serious criticism of today's America, check out Neil Young's official website! (Though, I'd better not post the link again. ;D)

Probably not true Djinn. I think we're tying to accept you. :)

At Christmas, it's good. By New Year's Eve, it's bad.
I suppose you all know the joke about John's Cold Turkey by New Year? Good, knew you would. ;D
-
Thats what I ment--
don't take all words to it terminal meaning.
Even the word to has many meanings. Hard to know what way if just said you wouldnt know
if it was to too or tu. Sometimes even the definition is taken wrong.
John Lennon stated (ATHAT TIME OF THE BEATLES WE WERE MORE POPLUAR THEN RELIGON & GOD--I WASN'T KNOCKING IT DOWN---I JUST SAID & IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.)
aS FOR MY SPEILLING--I dont often state it but I do have a disability do to the Army.
I got a little autisum so sometimes -when I type--I see the & but the 7 will get in. So it is for others letters.Not all the time--just sometimes.
-
Thanks for helping us destroy Nazism!
Thanks, GA! Although I can't take much credit, as I wasn't born then. But I'll certainly check out Neil's site. :)
Raxo, ETA is an abbreviation for "Edited to add", because I saw Rev's reply after I posted-- was that the confusing part? Cheers!
-

Yep, because over here it means something slightly different ... and you mentioned Ireland and Spain later, so ... but it's clear now! ;)

And in Japan, it means underclass. So, pity we don't have any 'underclass' to welcome too. :)

Yeah, come and visit our tiny odd distant country!

ETA has a total different meaning in Spain...
-
Thanks for helping us destroy Nazism! I mean it seriously.
Though bankrupting the British Empire and ensuring its demist to a second rate power was a bit of a p*sser. All those africans and indians enjoyed being enslaved. We gave them timetables and queues for chrissakes! :)
-
A proper queue is worth fighting for. At the least it's worth giving someone a dirty look for. Up with England! Queues for everyone! ;D
ETA has a total different meaning in Spain...
:B Er, yes, didn't think about that. So odd that my note was addressed to "Revolution" as well, but I did not mean to talk about terrorists or underclass citizens, really! *swears off using future abbreviations*
Yeah, come and visit our tiny odd distant country!
Thanks, Bobber! I have just the right shoes. You still wear those, right? ;)

http://www.answers.com/topic/cold-turkey
Interesting discussion of the origin of the term "cold turkey"--dates at least back to the 1920s. Too bad John never did a follow-up "Hot Gravy" although he did do "Beef Jerky."
-
;D. I'm breaking for lunch!

Though not as much a p*sser as it was to one third of the world. I know there's humour in your comments too, but the sun never set on the British Empire because it was daylight robbery! I'm not loyal to this class-divided country. Even hippy s*** is more appealing! ;D :)

Sure. And we all live in a windmill and grow tulips.

True. That's why I said "africans and indians enjoyed being enslaved." Trying to be ironic and all.
Living in a former colony, I remember being told by a teacher that the Maori were lucky they were colonised (love that word) by the British and not the French. who were much nastier.
In our bicentennial (1969?) NZ's history began with the arrival of Captain Cook. A thousand years of Maori history was simply sidelined.
We were repeatedly told that Adam and Eve, Noah and David and Goliath were facts, yet Maori creation tales were passed off as myth. Silly Maoris. Should be more grateful blah blah blah.
But I also try to remember that that is how it was then. Countries worth were measured by their empires, and they were the must have accessory of the ninetenth century. Both God and Darwin seemed to say that it was their natural right (ney their duty) to civilise the savages.

Just out of asking--
Like they did when the Bealtes got their MBE awards.
Were is the British Empire all speak of?
This is why John gave his back--He said there was no empire & for him to be a Knight.
He did not see the same rights ect a rare knight had--just a title thrown in with a free membership to the castle--
25 pounds a month & a metal that looks like a stick with some string threw it.

Did anybody understand that? >:(

No what is ment when so odd distsnt place is
The magasinewas not able to go to a near by or travle with in the region
to verify.
Thus they made up places that The Beatles had played in the past.
This created partial trueth like the enquire & globe ect & the people bought the half trueth.
The trueth ----Yes a distant time ago the Beatles did perform there.
Now the editor uses trick photo & puts stock current photos of them & combinds to make it
look like they are together.
Again I see all can't take an example & turn all said out of context.
No Wonder John had such a hard time with american press & others.
Like you all--You see what you want to & do not want to read it.
You allways want to see bad what some person writes instedof the good.
Like George stated Exter Texter would be nice--Or take your time reading & don't be so pompus.
You are common wealth & not royalty.
Don't act so high & mighty & clap your hands.
You do not have the jewlery to rattle.(JOHN LENNON)
-
Did anybody understand that? >:(
Watch again if you have it When the Beatles got their awards.
There are many that said the Beatles should be knighted & some said no never knight & get the awards back!
1 asked (Were is the British empire?)
I do they same & you think Im daft,don't be so cheeckie or toutched.
You are not above me.
We are all crated equal--i don't try to build wars around your words--stop it with mine.
-
I meant that you are becoming increasingly more difficult to understand. It would also be handy if you stayed, more or less within the subject of the thread and didn't go off on tangents.
-
Did anybody understand that? >:(
He's just misquoting bits from the Anthology series, BM, about the Beatles' MBEs. Paul said the MBE let you get into St. Paul's Whispering Gallery for free (not the castle). He's also quoting George about the MBE being "a ruddy piece of leather with a wooden string through it". I believe that's the exact quote; I'd need to play that part again to be sure.
The connection of the Beatles being awarded MBEs and the history of British (or anyone else's) imperialism is not quite clear to me. Perhaps because the title MBE has the word "empire" in it?
-
If Djinn took some time to learn his history and check his spelling he'd be a little easier to understand!

The government were thinking of changing 'Empire' so that it would be Order Of British Excellence. Pity they didn't.
