Ronettes - Do I love you
LOVE THIS..SOMETHING,'RESONANT', ECHOING, ON...
CAN'T BELIEVE, HOW, FAST, THIS, YEAR'S GOING...NOVEMBER NEXT WEEK..
Well hello there
My, it´s been a long, long time
How i´m doing?
I guess i´m doing fine
It´s been so long now
Yet it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope he´s doing fine
Heard you told him
That you´d love him till the end of time
Now, that´s the same thing that you told me
Oh it seems like just other day
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess i´ll see you around
Don´t know when though
Never know when i´ll be back in town
But remember what i tell you
That in time you´re gonna pay
And it´s surprising how time slips away
My, it´s been a long, long time
How i´m doing?
I guess i´m doing fine
It´s been so long now
Yet it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
How's your new love?
I hope he´s doing fine
Heard you told him
That you´d love him till the end of time
Now, that´s the same thing that you told me
Oh it seems like just other day
Gee, ain´t funny how time slips away
Gotta go now
Guess i´ll see you around
Don´t know when though
Never know when i´ll be back in town
But remember what i tell you
That in time you´re gonna pay
And it´s surprising how time slips away

Odour of Chrysanthemums D. H. Lawrence
The Isolation of the Human Soul
As Elizabeth tends to Walter’s body, Lawrence writes that she feels “the utter isolation of the human soul,” and this sense of isolation permeates the entire story.The Nature of Love
The nature of love between mother and child and between husband and wife stand in sharp contrast to each other in “Odour of Chrysanthemums.” Although she is often short with them, Elizabeth clearly loves her children, John and Annie. She protects them from Walter’s indiscretions whenever she can and shields them from seeing his dead body. When she struggles to figure out how to carry on when she fears that Walter is dead, she understands that, first and foremost, she must worry about her children. Similarly, Walter’s mother indulges Walter’s weaknesses because he is her son, and her deep love for him overshadows his adult flaws. More complicated is Elizabeth’s relationship with her unborn child. It was conceived not out of love but out of a cold coupling between isolated individuals, and the child is described as “a weight apart from her” and “ice.” At this point, Elizabeth seems to connect the unborn child to her relationship with Walter rather than to her life as a mother. The baby seems less a part of her than a part of her distant relationship with Walter.The nature of love between Elizabeth and Walter is much darker than the love between Elizabeth and her two existing children. Little is left of their love, having been replaced by resentment, disgust, and anger, and not even physical intimacy can overcome the fact that they are “two isolated beings, far apart.” Neither spouse was willing to try to forgive or understand the other, and this inflexibility resulted in permanent estrangement. Until she ministers to Walter at the end of the story, Elizabeth seems unable to see Walter beyond her own disappointments. As she waits and waits for him, she berates herself for being a “fool” and says, “And this is what I came here for, to this dirty hole, rats and all, for him to slink past his very door”—neglecting entirely any love that may have once existed between them and that drew her into the marriage.

Gene Vincent Looking Back
Today,John Lennon, would, have, been, 75 , and, last,night,I,was, listening, to some Guy, on, the Radio,
talking, about, a new Documentary, about, the, last, Day,in, His,life.
[Lennon, had,just, been, to,a BarberShop, in, N.Y.C, and, was, sporting, a 'Teddy Boy', Hairstyle,which,
it, would, appear, was, His, 'Style', as, a Youth, here, in,Liverpool.]
In, Their, early,days, The 'Beatles', were, influenced, by, American, 'Rockabilly',Type,Groups,
such, as, Gene Vincent,and, the 'BlueCaps'...Eddie Cochran,'Little Richard', Chuck Berry, etc..
Vinyls,were, hard, to, come, by, in, Liverpool,in,those, days.
They, had, to,be, individually, ordered, from, the Manufacturers.
So,Music-mad,Lennon, I'm, sure, would, have,known,Record Store,Owner, Brian Epstein, long, before,He, signed, up, the 'Beatles'.
He, did, after, all, live, 'just, around ,the Corner',in,His, Aunt Mimi's,House,
on, Menlove Avenue, from, the Epstein,Home, on, Queens Drive...
Lennon's,real, Dad,a Sailor,had,deserted, His,Mother,when,He, was, an, Infant..
but,Sailors, were, bringing,more, than,Vinyl Records,covertly, into, Liverpool's, 'Black Market', economy..
New York City, Marijuana, Homosexual, Jewish,Managers..and, a 'Thug/Bully',Scouser?..
from, a broken Home?..The 'QuarryMen?'..or, the 'Silver Beatles?'..
Lennon, knew,Epstein,long,before, the 'Beatles', were, formed?..Methinks,
a bit, of,'Rough Trade', was, ongoing..but, who, cares, anyway? not, Me, Amigo..
Lennon, was, the 'Great Pretender'.
Gene Vincent, of, course, died, in,His,Mother's arms, in,California....but,His, influence,on, the,
History, of, Rock Music, cannot, be,understated.
'Race with the Devil', was, another, of,Gene's, hits...against all odds...
and, of, course, 'Be Bop, a-Lula', remains,one, of,the, all-time, greats....
a, 'Gretsch',Guitar,and, a pair, of, Cowboy Boots....
John Lennon, was, no, Angel,and, no, 'Working Class, Hero',
but, His,broken-home,disruptive,upbringing,somehow, created,an, amazing,
Songsmith, and, an, underrated, Cartoonist...
and,Maybe,the Heroin Addict, 'Hair-Peace' ....?.Lover...
"In their first interview for a major British publication, London's Evening Standard, journalist Maureen Cleave mentioned their 'weird' hair: "French styling, with the fringe brushed forwards." But it barely raised any attention in the British media.
However, it caused a sensation when the Beatles arrived in America in 1964. The affectionate term 'Moptops' was created and almost every comedian in the country cracked gags about their hair style. Hundreds of thousands of Beatles wigs were manufactured and it eventually led to the American youth growing their hair longer than had been previously acceptable for a young male."

Real Liverpool History..The Trojans,Baseball Team.
http://www.liverpooltrojans.co.uk/index.php/about-us/baseball-on-merseyside
Liverpool Trojans 1948
Although
two North American Major League teams (Chicago White Sox & New York
Yankees) had played an exhibition game at Goodison Park in the
twenties, the first mention of American - style baseball was made in the
Liverpool Echo on July 4th 1933, when an English code baseball team,
the Liverpool Amateurs, challenged a Japanese ship, the Lima Maru ,
to a game under American rules. This game drew an "unusually large
crowd" and was won by the Japanese by 12 - 9 with three home runs
separating the sides. However, a year later the Amateurs won the return
match. The Japanese pitcher Sikiyama, must qualify as the first official
winning pitcher in Liverpool. A similar game had been played in the
early twenties versus a Canadian ship, but there are no records for this
game. From this information, it would appear that the Liverpool
Amateurs were the first side to play American Baseball in Liverpool.
On
July 20th 1933, appeared the first mention of an American style
Baseball League. At this time, the game was already established in
London and had existed for about 11 years under the banner of the
Anglo-American Baseball Association. Teams such as the London Americans,
the London Canadians and the London Japanese all competed.
On
July 11th 1933, Mr. John Moores ( of the Littlewoods Pools family)
chaired a meeting of all the baseball fraternity in Liverpool, which at
this time was predominantly English Baseball. During this time, there
was some dispute between the English Baseball Association and the
English Baseball Union. The meeting was held at the Law Associations
rooms, Cook St. Liverpool, Mr. Moores asked for the co-operation of the
English Leagues, offering assistance for anyone who would change codes,
additionally he offered £100.00 for teams to change to American code. He
warned that, should they refuse his offers, then he would go ahead and
form an American League without their co-operation. Seven teams from the
EBU came forward to accept his offer, with Mr Moores already having
acquired players and officials from the States and Canada. On Monday,
21st of August 1933, the first recorded American rules baseball match
played between English teams took place at Priory Rd, Liverpool, between
Liverpool Amateurs and Oakfield Social. Two days later an exhibition
game was played with trained American rules players at the Littlewood
Sports Ground, Picton Rd.
