Beatlemania is coming back again. Not those knockoff bands that are touring making big bucks off the fab four, but an old interview with John Lennon and Paul McCartney was found in a garage in London that was done 44 years ago. The 9 minute interview highlights the two songwriters talking about how they first met. The long lost interview will air on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday and repeated later this week. It kind of makes you think about why it was stored in a garage. What if somebody wanted to have a tag sale? I can hear it now. “Honey, what do you want to do with this old film canister? Should we put it out with the old lawnmower and sofa for the tag sale this weekend”? I wonder what else is in that garage. Maybe some long lost footage of the Kennedy assassination? Maybe the walrus killed JFK.
I didnt shoot JFK, I shot the sheriff
And I am sure you all heard about front man Steven Tyler’s sabbatical in a rehab facility. It was originally reported that the singer was having foot surgery. But he became addicted to pain pills and sleep pills (Which is very easy to do if you are a recovering addict) so he has changed his sobriety date, but at least he got his feet done. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt!
I don’t know where you live, but here on the East coast in the good ole US of A, there has been another heat wave hovering over the region again. Walking into Stop & Shop this past weekend, I observed a shopping cart over turned in the middle of the road leading into the store. “This cant be good”, I thought to myself as I started to enter the store and saw a frazzled woman walking out of the store muttering to herself. At that point, I was wondering if I should go in there or not. But as I walked in, the first thing I saw were two sales reps from some freakin food company trying to figure out how to put up a display. Wish I could describe the look on their faces, but it was pretty funny. I couldn’t help but think that these poor souls are being paid pennies to do the job and put up with the frustration of putting up a silly display to promote Chips-Ahoy cookies that are on sale for $2.99. What a deal. These folks are willing to put their mental health on the line so you and I can enjoy a fine product like Chips-Ahoy at a great price! Sometimes I think I died and went to heaven.
As I was walking toward the deli counter, I heard yelling and as I looked up, I saw a very large, or should I say, portly woman screaming at the poor clerk behind the counter about the brand of salami that she usually gets. My first thought was maybe why this woman was angry was the fact she hadn’t gotten the “Salami” she REALLY needed. That’s what it usually comes down to. There are two things that can get people pissed off, a lack of sex and a lack of $. I couldn’t help but think that the last place this lady needed to be was a grocery store. Maybe a nice brisk walk on a hot day might do her body good, instead of taking her frustrations out on the female employee that is probably pulling down $8.00 an hour to act as a dart board for all the wonderful folks that patronize the store on a hot and sticky day. I wanted to say something to the lady, but she was very big compared to me and if she ever caught me, that would be my demise. I could think of a lot of other ways on how I would rather lose my life.

But this is a great country to live in, despite all my complaining I get a reality check. My sweet, sweet Christy-Creamy-Ann -Cremora Jones will drop whatever she is doing when ever she hears America’s national anthem and put her hand over her heart and pay her respect to the USA.

And she really knows how to save a nickel. Just when you think you know somebody. I think I’m in love.
Happy Fourth of July.
