Happy new year, Hari! I hope all is going well with your job. How is it working out for you?
George (and Paul) wanted to cheer you on too.  |

Harihead and Jane, thanks so much for the new year's wishes. I hope that 2009 will be wonderful for you both!  |
|

I hope so, Octie! 
Best of luck!
I hear it helps to looks at what you wanna dream about and hear what you wanna dream about.
Like, staring at a Ringo picture and listening to one of his songs, maybe.
Just what I hear. ^^ |

"Help!" you say? Why, in the movie, George had too much tea and they had to get him to a doctor, but the only one who was avaliable wasn't a surgeon. He was shrink, who calmed George's belly enough until he felt better.~
Who was the old guy following Paulie around in "A Hard Day's Night"? |

Ah the Eurovision! I remember the 98 one, where Dana International won... stil love that song!
I think it was last year or the year before... Russia did a very bad song. I think the Russians should stick to Russian and not try to be american pop stars, imho. |

| Guys, you shouldn`t think only about the USA and Britain, take the rest of the world into account as well, at least Europe. Who will know about Motown? I doubt anybody outside the outlined boundaries will know, I even doubt all the British will know. Only those experts. But M.J. is known to everybody, he was popular all over the world, this does say something, doesn`t it? |
|
|
| I sincerely hope that Britain will win in the near future. Let it be this year! |

How long were you and KE in Israel?
10 years
Leon Uris books in the seventies
He writes very good books. And his most famous book "Exodus" gives a very good background to the conflict. I hear the movie was not very good though.

Wahaha, Pitchie, that's an awesome dream  I haven't had a Beatley dream in a while, but I did have a nightmare last night. Maybe I'll get a Bealtey dream soon to compensate for it |
|
|
| ^ Oh yeah, it's there on my shelf I used to go to the book store and get "sneak peeks" into it, and then KE bought it for me. Thanks KE |

| I got that book for Octie for her birthday last year. I think its a must for any Ringo fan. It's a nice book, and while the postcard stories arent pages and pages, they are stil nice to read. I love the story with John loosing his contact lense in the pool. |

Becuase in that famous gig in Brazil, his microphone didn't work and they didnt fix it.
What were John's books called? |

| I get such a kick out of playing this game! It's very addictive, should come with a health warning! |
|
|
| Hahaha, awesome! I like "Ringo's charming, he is sweet, he's the Beatle with the beat" ^__^ (at least that's what I hear, I'm always mishearing things) |

'Beat the Meatles'
Why was George considered 'the quiet one'?
|
|
|
In Wellington, New Zealand. They always fancied themselves as the four Hobbits from Lord of the Rings, and New Zealand is where Lord of the Rings was filmes, so that was an easy decision for them.
What was the Beatles' first album called? |

Well, George worked as an exterminator, and Paul called him to his house to get rid of those nasty pests. When Paul went to check on George, he was slacking off and playing Paul's guitar. They decided to form a duet. Then, at the local flea market, Ringo was desperatley trying to sell his mother's old sofa, and Paul said that he had heard Ringo was a good drummer, and asked him to be in the band. Then, when the three boys went to the cinema for fun, they found John out on a date there (with me!) and managed to get him to talk music. They convinced him to be in the band.
Where was the Beatles' first gig? |

Also "Ready Steady Go" the famous 60's music programme in the UK introduced British people to Motown they did a special hosted by Dusty Springfield , many of the 60's Motown acts appeared on it .
This show was watched by millions and helped to showcase these Motown acts in the UK , this was a good 15 year before Michael Jackson's Thriller and MTV . |

When Jimmy Mack was a hit in 1967 did your average fan say, ' yay Holland Dozier Holland have done it again their my favourite songwriting team'. Did teenagers across the world dream of one day writing songs so someone else can get rich and famous. I think if your honest with yourself you'll realize that the majority of people wouldnt know or care who write the songs for the motown acts. They were good/great writers but their sphere of influence is only a fraction of what the Beatles/Elvis/jacksons was. The fact is most of the Motown acts were being financially ripped off, the music was pigeonholed as a 'black' genre. Jackson broke down barriers as he was a pop/mainstream act. Stupidly i have now had more posts about Jackson then i have about the Beatles. 
I grew up in the North of England during the 60' and 70's and their was big "Northern Soul" scene , so the people i knew were very knowledgable about Soul Music as we called it .
Soul Music was the music of the working man , all the working mens clubs i used to go to in my teens played nothing else but Soul.
Their were massive clubs like the famous "Wigan Casino" which drew thousands of young people from all over the north to all night events or weekend events .
My singles collection had many 60's 70's Motown records in it as well as other rarer soul records .
People knew who Holland Dozier Holland were and Motown was a much loved and respected label , now i know the North of England is not the world , but Soul /Motown was massive , much more popular than The Beatles .
"Soft Cells" million selling Northern Soul cover of Gloria Jones "Tainted Love" came out of that movement .
So far from Michael Jackson coming along to enlighten us all about R&B , we already knew and loved it .

I've done that before, too... I typed all of them in Word, and Ringo was the only one that gets the red underline... and I thought, how annoying...
