I noticed the image you chose for your poem
"Strange Fruit On Protest Road"
and I flashed back to the early-sixties.
I was 12 and had the task of taking my two youngest brothers to see the movie "101 Dalmatians." In the middle of the movie, I got mad at God (again.) The race tensions were mounting, and the nightly news was becoming a horror. Cops, batons and baseball bats, attack dogs, teargas, firehoses.
In all of His supposed wisdom, I thought, why doesn't the mixture of the races in humans, create spotted children? Soon we'd all look the same, nothing to fight about!
Sometimes I miss that naive boy!
60 years ago today "The Beatles" made their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. 73 million people tuned in and changed the cultural/music scene forever. I was 11 and thought I'd died and gone to paradise.
Peace to you all and groovy vibes!!!

I was 8 years old when The Beatles came out. This is when I discovered music
I loved The Beatles. I saw them on Ed Sullivan and I was all excited. I got their albums. I got a Beatles Notebook, Wallet, trading cards and Beatles magazines. George was my favorite. I have a faded 8 by 10 picture of Yhe Beatles on top of a book shelf. I have their movies A Hard Days Night and Help. I loved them.
I haven't been on here very much lately and I am sorry-am having a couple of surgeries done-nothing serious but just not feeling too well. Thanks so much for all the anniversary wishes. You all are the best and I miss writing and each of you. Hope to be back real soon!!!
