One for the html directory, @Ahhh Girl, I noticed that Don W. (don-w for @) has become @Bullion.  

I’m finally able to post, the reply and add topic buttons weren’t working!

 

edit: wait a minute . . still not able to post threads 

 

But while I’m here, why hasn’t this been posted yet? 

 

http://www.billboard.com/artic…..ol-records

 

Not to mention his new interview with RollingStone  

Both have already been posted about, Bullion.

The news of Paul signing with Capitol is in the “Beatles News” thread, with a link to the announcement on Paul’s site.

While the Rolling Stone interview can be found in the “Paul Interviews” thread.

McCartney is a British citizen and therefore will not be able to vote in the 2016 election.

What a strange thing to put, it’s like if I end my posts with.
“Starr Shine? is a member of this forum and therefore had access to the internet at some point in their life.”  

It’s more along the lines of “ATTENTION DUMB PEOPLE: Sir Paul can’t help Hilary with her election but on the other hand he can’t vote for Donald, do not panic, he doesn’t count.”, but they can’t say it straight out like that for some reason.

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Silly Girl got kinky
Wasn’t there someone here who liked the Kinks? @UnidentifiedFiendishThingy, was it?   

Yes @Beatlebug , my brother and I had a deal in the 60s. I was in charge of collecting all Beatle and Stones albums & singles and he Kinks and Who. We mowed a lot of lawns to feed our British Invasion listening needs. When my daughter was in London earlier this summer it turned out her Airbnb was near Waterloo Station. I told her about the song and on her way back from dinner she took a selfie with her friend right at sunset. She also surprised me with a stop at the Abbey Road crossing plus at a place called the Lennon Wall in Prague (where artists appear to work night and day painting all things John).

And no, for the Brits here this post does not need to move to the ‘Shades of Grey’ thread 😉

I have had a second kazoo made for me, it’s coming in the mail. George wants me to think of a good name for it to add to his catalogue, it’s a modification of one of his Performer Fatboys, so I’ve been trying to think of a representative Australian word. Help me, @trcanberra kenobi, you’re my only hope.

That’s pretty much true of any band-related forum, though. Or any other type of forum, really. 

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

I think part of why games and All Together Now are biggest is because they are easy to post in.
