  • The Concert for Bangladesh – 1971

    I read in the paper the other day that the concert was on August 1, 1971. Wow, 53 years ago. I was 13 years old and I remember this; I was already a huge Beatle fan and George was my favorite. I lived the album, “Living in the Material World.” It meant everythig to me,…

  • MetLife Stadium, Accessibility for Handicapped Individuals

    First and foremost I will state that Met Life Stadium in Rutherford, NJ is handicap accessible. I’m sure because of ADA guidelines they have to be. The personnel there are very helpful. The following is my experience when going to see The Rolling Stones on May 23, 2024. In February I went online to Ticketmaster…

  • The Rolling Stone’s

    Finally, I went to see The Rolling Stone’s! Whatever took me so long, I know, I was too cheap! Never again. The pictures below show how far away we were. They were not bad seats, but I couldn’t see them as close as I needed to be. I was lucky enough to be in the…

  • Paul McCartney – “Eyes of the Storm”

    A few weeks ago we went to see Paul McCartney’s photo exhibit covering the years of 1963/1964, titled, “Eyes of the Storm.” This is a fairly new exhibit, the first showing was in London. I am so fortunate that the next showing, (first in the US), would be at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, VA.…

  • The Rolling Stones

    I did it! I bought tickets to see The Rolling Stones! I went on StubHub and looked at all kinds of seats. I was willing to pay a grand for 2 tickets. I think the seats are ok. They are not in the nosebleed section. They are in the level above the floor in the…

  • 60 Years Ago

    This week in February 1964 The Beatles came to America! I don’t remember their arrival at Kennedy Airport, (only in pictures) but I do remember them on The Ed Sullivan Show. I was 6 years old at the time and even though I can’t remember some things, I do have an exact memory of seeing…

  • Meet the Beatles

    During the week I was suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, my busy mind did came up with random thoughts, as usual. One of these thoughts was, “what was The Beatles first album, was it “Meet the Beatles?” I felt there was one released before “Meet the Beatles.” Anyway, the next day I was reading the paper,…

  • Beatlefest ’24

    I had forgotton about the yearly Beatlefest. It had crossed my mind occasionally, but I did nothing about looking it up. I used to to get the mailings yearly telling you the locations and agenda, and also selling Beatle memorabilia and new products. Anyway, these mailngs stopped a few years ago and as I just…

  • Happy Birthday Willie Nelson

    I have to say that this is very odd for me. I like Willie Nelson, don’t own a single record, I don’t listen to him on my own BUT, as I said, I do like him, I admire him, I love his song writing and the crowd he welcomes into is life. His fans and…

  • The Rolling Stones – 2024

    Here we go again. The Stones are once again going on tour in the US. As an AARP member I was able to get in on the presale. That morning I went online and the site was so busy it crashed. I tried again later in the afternoon. I was looking for tickets at Met…
