1. What was it about the Beatles, in your opinion, that made them so influential?
They were incredibly young when they hit popularity, yet they wrote their own songs had a lot of say in how their music sounded. They never tried to always sound like "The Beatles;" with each album they grew musically and artistically
2. Would you agree that ?Beatle mania' was one of the most incredible social phenomenons in history?
I would agree. They started the whole boyband-mass marketing idea.
3. Do you think that a lot of the Beatles incredible success was because they were in-tune with what was happening in society, or do you think that the same music would be equally as successful in our modern era?
I don't think "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" would stand up today. Kids are too sex-savy for that.
4. Why do you think was the reason Beatles appealed to so many people in their prime-popularity?
They were so young! Each Beatle appealed to a certain sensibility, yet you could like the whole band too.
5. Why do you think that the Beatles music has appealed to so many generations?
It is simply good music, well crafted. The Beatles knew how to use every note, every lyric to its full advantage.
6. Why do you think the Beatles music appeals to so many age groups? (That is, from small children to elderly adults?)
See answer to number 5
7. What was it about the Beatles music that attracted your interest?
The first Beatles song I heard was Penny Lane and they just sounded so happy singing that song
8. Do you think that another band could make it as big in the future, and what are your reasons for thinking this?
Bands certainly have made it as big as The Beatles, popularity wise and financial wise, but I don't think any other band could have the charm the Beatles have.
9. Do you think the Beatles had an influence on factors like fashion, drug use and haircuts?
The certainly had an influence on fashion and hair cuts, as well as the way we look at celebrity--Paul and Jane Asher were as written about then as Justin and Cameron are today.
10. Anything else you would like to add?
I love The Beatles and always will. They fascinate me, and I was born five years after they broke up. They will always live in pop culture and popular influence.

The Flying Burrito Brothers, Graham Parsons, Ryan Adams-all great Country Rock musicians

what kid of CD would you record? I would record a song of all the easy listening 70s songs I love, like Baby I'm A Want You, Sister Golden Hair, Reminscing, such the like of those. Think Kirk Van Houten would sue if I called my CD "Can I Borrow A Feeling?"

Jet reminds me of The Kinks and The Ramones

Neil Young~Sugar Mountain

Boston-More Than a Feeling

What I don't like is that CNN feels the need to report the story every 10 minutes. She is not the first woman to ever be pregnant, nor will she be the last, but CNN sure makes it seem that way.

YEp. it's official. The pop tart's got a tartlette in the oven.
-
If Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up" isn't on the list, it should be. That song just makes me laugh.

invis. I was crushing my own head this morning when I remembered I forgot Kids in the Hall!
-
Elvish, I loved Freaks & Geeks.
I also forgot My So Called Life.
-
I can't believe I forgot The Twilight Zone and Strangers With Candy

I would say
Ab Fab, since it never had the popularity here as it did in Britain
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
The Brak Show
Family Guy
South Park

Cynthia is still alive and well, but what about Maureen, Ringo's first wife, is she dead? And if so, when did she die?

I loved his pic of Morgan Freeman. It made me want to dance sbout singing "Easy Reader, that's my name"

I had a stick of Carefree gum, but it didn't work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality.
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
I opened-up a yogurt, underneath the lid it said, "Please try again." because they were having a contest that I was unaware of. I thought maybe I opened the yogurt wrong. ...Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me... "Come on Mitchell, don't give up!" An inspirational message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top.
I hadn't heard those before. Mitch was on David Letterman 10 times, and Dave liked him so much he once quoted his routine later in the show. We'll miss you Mitch.

Can anyone please tell me if Kenny Rogers ever recorded the Bee Gees song "To Love Somebody?" Somewhere in the annals of my cob-webby brain I swear I have heard a Kenny version of that song.

Leo's lyrics has a scattered word or phrase search.

I found this on E-Online news:
PASSING: Mitch Hedberg, a funnyman who got his first big break on The Late Show with David Letterman and went on to appear in MTV's Comikaze, Comedy Central's Comedy Product, and NBC's Comedy Showcase, died March 30, reportedly after suffering a heart attack. He was 37.
I am so sad and so shocked. Mitch always made me laugh.

Thanks Mike, but I changed to another, similar pic, and I got the same message but the pic took and is my avatar now.

Oh, really? Does such a thing exist?
Oh yes Edna. I saw it on VH1-When Disco ruled the world.
BTW, I have always wanted to know just where did those vandals take those handles?

It's not the size of the pic. I get some permission denied message. It's just a pic of an R.E.M. album cover, and I have never had this problem before.

I have never heard of a painting titled "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Who painted such a painting?
