Introduction

Hi. Non-poseur Beatles fan here. That means I believe in the music over the merchandise. Autographs are nice, but if you don't have the 'Press To Play' LP, well....

Additional Information

"I supported Paul's writing credit reversal and the airing of the MDC interview. I believe that John lost his edge in the 70s and George lost his sense of humor in the 80s. I think 'She Loves You' is annoying and that Ringo can be a prick. Let's chat."

What Reverend Flash is saying about this Meetup Group

In the past, all the other entymologists and I always thought we needed to branch out socially. And while I strangely haven't really been able to find a single person in this group who actually LIKES beetles (or any other insects for that matter), I do enjoy giving myself a reason to dress up fancy-like and hit the hot happening bar scene, like this group tends to do. There should be less concentration on music, though; I prefer bible-study or even silent introspection, myself.

    Was there another inspiration behind Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?

    "I don't think there's a connecton. Young Julian's labeling of the stars as diamonds is probably a more common literary device than you might think...."

    'Good Evening New York City' - The Macca Live Set, Coming Nov.17

    "Steve - Nice story and what a great lost show by Paul, but I think you forgot to mention the year. I think, since there was a big controversy over 'Big Boys Bickering' at the time, that it was 1992."
