      Gary Lee I feel like there should be an update. Like it’s been 23 years. That’s almost another quarter of a century. I know not much had changed but I’d love to hear his personal reflections on life. He’s lost Linda. He’s seen his kids grow up and do wonderful things. I want to know what his final thoughts are on what life is. As strange as it is to say a whole lot of people (including me god yes including me) feel a deep personal connection to the man. He knows this. So I think another book should come before we lose the man who played a part in so many lives. Long live Sir James Paul McCartney.

    Paul says in the 60s the weather always felt like it was good, their first singles was in the charts during the coldest winter over the century, the winter of late 62 early 63 was lethal, ground was still frozen rock solid in early March 63.

    its amazing the veneration and AWE with which they all talk about Elvis and his band...in the Anthology show, the Beatles talk about when they actually got to MEET Elvis in 1965, after a year and a half of pleading with Brian Epstein to set up a meeting....Ringo tells how the Fab Four entered his mansion, and Elvis was on his couch playing his Fender electric bass along with records playing on his jukebox...the Beatles came over and sat down with him and just stared at him,,,Ringo says "We didn't know what to say....he was tall, he was slim, he was----ELVIS!" Finally, Elvis broke the ice by saying "If all you boys are gonna do is stare and gape at me, then ah'm goin' up ta bed." Everyone laughed, and then they all started talking.
