Finally got a chance to watch Kids React. That was the most adorable thing ever. And they clearly made a new fan out of that little girl who asked if John was still alive.

Thanks for that. I can’t wait to see this.
Kelly was briefly fired by Lennon after she arrived late before a show because she had been having drinks with an opening band. The secretary convinced Lennon to get down on his knees and beg her to stay.
And I really can’t wait to hear how she pulled that off.
Girls would send her four sticks of gum which she would hand out to the band members, then she would wrap the chewed gum in paper and mail it back to the fans.
It was certainly a different time.

Offline Interesting! I’m looking forward to see it!
Things similar to the chewing gum bit still happen nowadays. I personally find it gross AND SLIGHTLY PATHETIC.
Meh I can’t listen to the Paul/Clapton thing right now, but I’m curious. Also good to hear Julian is releasing something again!

Sad news for Cynthia and Julian. Her husband, Noel Charles, has passed away.parlance
Oh, that’s so sad.
The weird thing is, the other day I was thinking about Cynthia and I thought to myself how glad I was that she’s happy now and married to a man who adores her. And today I find this.
I feel really sad. My heart goes out to both of them, but particulary to Cyn.
Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

Offline S**t. I wanted to listen to the Clapton/Paul thing, but they’ve taken down the preview. Ah well, must be available soon.
And the Sean/Yoko thing is pretty funny. I’ve heard Sean sing once before, but his voice is kind of..weird. And I nearly fell out of my bed when Yoko suddenly popped up and started shouting ”Don’t frack me!”

Offline Paul contributed to a movie score:
Back in 2007, Michel Gondry directed the video for Paul McCartney ’s “Dance Tonight,” and it appears that the two have now collaborated again with the McCartney having reportedly done some work as a guest musician on the score for the director’s upcoming “Mood Indigo.”
According to French site RTL, McCartney came in and played bass on at least two instrumental tracks for the film, and if that’s the case then we imagine the label will have a much easier time moving copies of the soundtrack than they would have before. The score itself is by Gondry’s former Oui Oui bandmate, Étienne Charry, and it will also feature a song by popular French chanteuse France Gall
