He won’t go to prison. If anything he’ll get a heavy fine and suspended sentence, probably in exchange for an autograph and signed goodies for the judge to give to his 7 year old die-hard Beiber fan daughter.

I’m not sure. I can’t remember the last time someone in his position was sent straight to jail without passing bail without already having a record (Lohan, etc). Maybe America is getting sick of these brats?
EDIT: Damn! They’ve just released the little feck on bail!

The bad news: Amazon Canada were just BSing me when they said they were ‘processing’ the order for my Dylan 47 CD box.The good news: They assure me they will send it out today with a free upgrade to priority delivery – given this is a BIG box I couldn’t afford this option before so it is around a $40 bonus.
Well, well, well. Congrats. Let’s see if it can make it to you in two days.
Surprise, surprise – now they tell me they don’t have any – yet it was sent to a friend by them 2 days ago who ordered after me – bunch of clowns. Back on the waiting list limbo for a while
Pull something out of that lovely big stack you have to ease the pain, trc. *I will not put a clown picture here. Will refrain. Nope, quit looking at them, Ahhh Girl.*
@Necko, can you share any of the letter with us?
@ASJ, congrats. I “after the watershed” something like “after prime time” or “late night”?

It’s not that I mind sharing, but I didn’t really say anything interesting, just a bunch of ass-kissing. Still, despite what I just said, everything in the letter was true. I just said (heavy paraphrasing completely from memory, some parts left out for the sake of brevity) thank you for the great music over the years, The Beatles are my favorite band of all time, Sgt. Pepper is my favorite album of all time, New is one of my favorite records of 2013, your music has been a huge part of my life, etc. etc.
It’s funny because we were supposed to make this seem like a semi-formal letter. We had a sample template to follow. Where I got stuck was the very top of the letter. The example said “Dear Mr. [last name].” Now I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never written to anyone who has been knighted. I wasn’t sure if it was technically correct to say “Sir McCartney,” so I just ended up saying “Sir Paul McCartney .”

Yeah, I love the big, curly ‘G’ and ‘H’ 
I wish I had nicer handwriting, but I feel a bit old to sit there writing out the letters like they do in nursery school

Offline Okay, I’m not sure where this should be, so I’m putting it here. If a mod can spot the thread it should be in, please move.
I was involved in a discussion where Something came up, and who it was about. Whatever the context was, somebody came up with a ’70s/’80s quote where George denied it was about Pattie.
I am dipping in and out of the Kevin Howlett’s The BBC Archives at the moment, which includes many transcriptions of interviews that they gave to the BBC. Here is an exchange between David Wigg and and George in October 1969, much closer to the time of the song’s writing, and before he had a second wife.
DW: What inspired Something , for example?
GH: Maybe Pattie, probably.
So, which is true? George talking about it years later, when it would be difficult to say out loud that a song considered one of the great love songs was about his former – not current – wife, or a sheepish statement made within months of it being written where he says it was Pattie?
This is the problem with The Beatles, as I often say, that contemporary quotes are often contradicted by retrospective quotes.

I think you are absolutely correct – great example. I think the “problem” stems from the amount of times they were asked the same questions. In most interviews with the boys as a group or singly, they look completely bored. Every once in a while a really good question got asked and you would see them perk up all of a sudden.
This is not exactly the same, but one summer I had a cast on my arm after some surgery to repair tendons that were damaged by a rather nasty, deep wound on my thumb of all places. After the 457,918th time I was asked “what happened to your arm?”, I started making things up and telling each person something different because I got so bored with the question (my favorite and most imaginative involved lion taming lessons).
In reading Lewisohn’s book, I often think what a tough job it must be to sift through all of the contradictory info.

Offline ^^^ Also, it’s highly unlikely that the Beatles thought at the time about people closely studying their interviews so many years later. That’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with doing so, but they probably just thought of most of their interviews as “just another interview” (which is kind of the same thing you just said).
And if you study any other band/musician/celebrity close enough, this is hardly exclusive to the Beatles. Getting asked the same questions repeatedly is just one of the more unpleasant parts of being famous, I suppose…

Today’s question! … Name a great successful rock band whose members NEVER changed, from its inception to its demise, on all recordings and tours AND who had a career that lasted over 10 years. Other than the greatest band ever, Led Zeppelin. ….? (I can name two others who were pretty good, altho’ not as great as the mighty Zep! And NO, NOT Rush or ZZ Top!)
So far people aren’t doing a great job at reading, and from what I can tell, only Talking Heads and Los Lobos have made the grade.

Well, They Might Be Giants has been run by the same 2 guys (John Linnell and John Flansburgh) for 32 years, but I doubt that’s what the local radio station is going for.
