WOW! Do I ever remember! I was 12 1/2 and a BeatleMANIAC! I mean, they preoccupied every single minute of my day.

I vividly remember that i was FORCED to go with my parents to a prearranged dinner at their friend's house, so I couldn't scream my head off, so I was so upset being in a strange house and on my best behavior, that I burst into tears. Never missed another concert.

Conned a girlfriend into cutting class to wait in line to get concert tickets (if I did it it'd be too obvious). I still have the ticket stubs from all Phila concerts.

If anyone has any memorabila, DO NOT throw it away, specially if it says "made in the UK", as it's worth a fortune. My friend's collection was appraised at almost 1/4 a million dollars. I still have tons of stuff I can't part with, even at my age. Met John Lennon for an instant, in 1972 and saw him on the streets of NY. I loved them all for different reasons.

This is so weird..growing up, all my gfs and I "celebrated" their birthdays with phone calls, cupcakes etc. Who would have thought that after all those PM birthday celebrations, my mom would have passed on his birthday June 18, 2005. I still think that's so creepy.
