Gordie- "...We seem to have been leading parallel lives, Michael, at least to an extent..."
Ah. I thought the parallel part was either lusting after ladies or getting it from Bobbi Vee.
I did not know that about Nelson, but knew it about Presley. Never saw either in concert.
I did almost see Fats once, at The Pier in Charleston, SC. He arrived very late, was helped (almost carried) to the stage and was obviously more than a tad impaired. Seated at his piano and with broadly smiling head turned to the audience he, shall I say, 'tossed his tacos' at the crowd? Then passed out. Incredible. Never hit a single key on the piano. I barely escaped with my life from the ensuing riot that night. The Pier was nearly burned down before it was ended.
Youd'a thought a soccer game had broken out.

crzhrs - "...Money has nothing to do with it...."
Oh yes it did.
On the night we broke up Jane said, "Michael darling, you're eva so much more handsome than Paul. You're eva so much more talented than Paul, and you're eva so much more fun.... but he has eva so much more money. I will luv you foreva, and neva forget you, my darling."
She cried and then fled into the night and out of my life - forever. Johnny Rivers did a song about us called 'Poor Side of Town'.
If you believe that then I have a piece of moon rock autographed by Neil and Buzz I'd like to sell you.

If Jane had paid more attention to Paul rather than fool around with you, Linda wouldn't have gotten him on the rebound, and he never would have married the One-Legged Bandit. It's all your fault.
Jane wrote a cake decorating book in the 90s, I think. She still looked the same, which goes with my comment elsewhere that you can tell where someone is stuck by his/her hairstyle.
Pattie Boyd-Harrison-Clapton has a book out. I almost bought it, but some things are best left unknown. When she was married to George, I used to spend hours sitting in front of the mirror holding her picture, trying to figure out how a short, brown-haired, brown-eyed girl could magically be transformed into a tall, blue-eyed blond. I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
My first concert: Sonny and Cher, Norfolk, Virginia, 1966. Cher never said a word to the audience -- I'm not sure she even looked at it -- but Sonny was Sonny, a friendly, warm, funny little guy.

my very first concert was The Beatles 1964 tour. Saw them when they came to Boston Garden.
Saw them is the only word. You couldn't hear them for the screaming. My girlfriend and I went because we wanted to see in person the mass hysteria that seemed to hit 98% of the girls. Awesome experience. Went on a Saturday and My ears were still ringing when I went to work on Monday.

Paul and Jane Asher (who was a poster girl for the Soho Girl of Britain then) dated for 5 years.
She appeared in many of the ITV costume dramas of the mid 50. Robin Hood, William Tell, my favorite - The Buccaneers.

Diane - “…Its all your fault…”
That’s the spirit! Blame ME!
I told Marianne faithful wasn’t Mick’s strong point. I warned Ronnie that Phil was an evil spector. I even went so far as to tell EVERYBODY about Yoko. Did they listen? Ohno. Do I get the blame for Paul‘s recent problems? Yeah… Yeah… Yeah. (Okay, I told Frampton about that obnoxious voice box thingy… I admit that one. Innocent mistake)
So, as the only wronged party in the greatest and least known love triangle in Rock & Roll history, I don’t mind if the injustice continues. I really don’t. I’ll always have Paris - and I DON’T mean the little airhead.
Here’s lookin’ at you kid, M(aligned)
