Reviving the Beatles
If you're a rock musician who can sing, play bass left-handed and look even remotely like Paul McCartney during his younger days, you can easily find a gig with any one of a multitude of Beatles tribute bands.

"We start with music from 'The Ed Sullivan Show' and from when the Beatles played Shea Stadium. The first act ends in 1966. The second act starts with the hippie generation - with 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.' It ends in the Vietnam War era, with 'Abbey Road.' We finish the show with 'Hey Jude.'"
But "She Loves You!" does still have a right-handed McCartney. "The big problem is getting a McCartney who is on top of his game and is left-handed," Grippo said. "You have to have the look and the musicianship. So frequently you have to sacrifice and go with a right-handed guy. In all other ways, we're extremely accurate. "The whole point of this show is to bring people back to the moment. If you're not accurate, you destroy it. For example, when I hear 'Imagine' in a Beatles tribute, it bugs me because it's supposed to be a Beatles show and that's not a Beatles song." What: "She Loves You!" When: Sept. 24 opens a 10-week run Where: Society Hill Playhouse, 507 S. Eighth St., Philadelphia Tickets:$45 |

I saw "1964 The Tribute" back in 1998 or so and they were awesome. They looked & sounded like The Beatles and even had a left handed "Paul" bass player.

I remember Clarabelle the clown on the Howdy Doody show.
He never spoke, he just honked his horn. Ronald Mcdonald scared me when I was a kid, we were at Mcdonalds and he came up all of a sudden, scared me to death. Of course that was during John Wayne Gacy's spree of killings in Chicago. I remember seeing him in his clown costume, ever since, Ronald scares me too, but I still go through the drive , love those 99 cent double cheese burgers. Actually as a kid, I loved to watch those 1950's Bozo cartoons. |

Awc Larry Harmon who recently passed away had the exclusive rights to the name Bozo and his likeness or image.He played Bozo longer than anyone else may that clown rest in peace.As for the other clowns out there they are all fired for not being funny enough.Making fun of people brecause they enjoy Beatle music is stupid not funny you can have your Barry Manilow or Justin Timberlake or Madonna just make the breeze and blow away.Ah be ba duh that's all folks.
