>> Laura and Becky: Thank you so much for posting this on the list so I can see it! 1963 I was in a concert in Essen, Gruga Halle, in the first row, no kidding. They were there just 5 meters (barely 6 yards) in front of me, singing A hard day's night, Roll over Beethoven if Memory serves right. And Money. I was only 15 and had bought each single that came out. And the girls on the balconies were crying so loud that they nearly drowned out the lyrics.

I had 3 really good girlfriends and we divided them up.   I would have no one but Ringo,  but that’s okay since the others had their own picks.   I still remember -  Rachel took John,  Susie took Paul and Robin took George.  It just worked out that way.

I looked them over and pointed to George. "Uh-uh. He's mine. Pick another." So I chose Paul, and I've tried to be (Wings?? Ebony and Ivory???) as faithful as I can ever since.

See "A Day in the Life," maybe the best pop song ever because of how perfectly it illustrates and alchemizes the basic JL/PM differences. But the more distance between him and the rest of The Beatles, the less he rewards my attention.
